HONOLULU — Filipino journalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa announced in a speech in Hawaii Tuesday that the Philippine government is affirming a previous order to shut down Rappler, the news website she co-founded, which has gained notoriety for its reporting of President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody crackdown on illegal drugs.

The Philippines’ Securities and Exchange Commission affirmed its earlier decision to revoke the certificates of incorporation of Rappler, Ressa said while speaking at the East-West Center in Honolulu. “Part of the reason I didn’t have much sleep last night is because we essentially got a shutdown order,” Ressa told the audience.

Deservedtt

Nobel Peace Prize for what, spreading FAKE information that the Ph is in danger? and she's in the middle of war? 😂😂😂😂. The cyber libel case was filed by a PRIVATE person , a businessman. Know the FACTS people and u considered urself journalists🙄

I don’t think rappler is a credible news organization. Rappler is the equivalent of Fox News in the states.

RESSA IS QUEEN OF FAKE NEWS!!!

It is but just to shut Rappler down for it is responsible for the proliferation of fake news and exaggerated negative news that puts the country in bad light plus it is funded by CIA and corrupt US officials for the destabilization of Philippines!

Since she is celebrated elsewhere than in my country, why not she transfer to wherever she is accepted. She might be filipino but I guess her heart is not with the Philippines and the Filipino people, that is how I feel though.

Some people here call the news biased when it contains factual information that is against their 'idol'. But when a person who is paid to spread false information about their 'idol', they praise that person and even become an avid follower+

Hi watch out, Marcos trolls will attack your twitter account and bash u. Thats their strategy

Sorry, they’re not a mass media company. They filed before SEC as a “property investment and developer” company.

Good news 👏👏 MarcosInaugural

It's no longer a race to break the story first or get the facts right. Instead, it's to acquire good ratings in order to get advertisers, so that profits soar. That is what the MANTRA “if it bleeds it leads” means to Media particularly MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

The journalistic mission was to report the news as it actually happened, w/ fairness, balance, and integrity. However, capitalistic motives associated with journalism have forced much of today's news to look to the spectacular, the stirring, and the controversial as news stories

News is a money making industry. One that doesn't always make the goal to report the facts accurately. Gone are the days of tuning in to be informed straightforwardly about local and national issues.

Better do it asap. Their misinformation is a poison to our people.

Deserve!! Crappler is one of the most unrealliable media in PH, spreading lies or let say fake news.

'SEC confirms issuing an order on June 28 affirming the revocation of Rappler’s certificates of incorporation “for their violation of constitutional and statutory restrictions on foreign ownership in mass media.' Again, it's NEVER about press freedom but business non-compliance.

The headline should be - “RAPPLER, the least trusted media organization funded by foreign interest, whose principal Maria Ressa has been convicted of Cyberlibel, and is a respondent in other criminal and civil complaints, is ordered closed by the SEC.”

Yes! I love this. Bye-bye in advance rappler 😘😁

The law in the Philippines does not allow the media to be funded by foreigners. Ressa’s Rappler was only able to get away from it because of the corrupt Yellows and Aquino administration It has nothing to do with suppression. Media has the most unbelievable freedom in Philippines
