MANDALUYONG CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Mandaluyong Bureau) – Nobel Laureate and convicted Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is defending Apollo Quiboloy after the Kingdon of Jesus Christ pastor’s YouTube, TikTok and Facebook accounts were taken down.

Ressa, a fierce advocate of freedom of the press, mourned what she was calling curtailment of the basic human right of free speech, the demise of Democracy and of Freedom of Religion.

Ressa added that just like the law, social media is now also being weaponized to curtail free speech.
