MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Just hours after the Philippine Court of Tax Appeals acquitted Rappler CEO Maria Ressa of tax evasion charges, the Nobel Prize Committee announced that it has withdrawn her Nobel Peace Prize.
Ressa bagged the Nobel Prize with the help of allegations that the law in the Philippines was being “weaponized” to curtail her free speech and Freedom of the Press.
With her acquittal, the Nobel Committee felt Ressa no longer deserved the status of Laureate.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Maria Ressa’s blog site Rappler, added yet another star to its ever-growing list of accolades in False Asia’s 2022 year-end Survey on Philippine satirical news sites.
Rappler was the runaway leader in the popularity poll conducted during the last week of December, 2022. It garnered 80%, registering a 20% increase from its ranking in June last year.
The distant runners-up were the Philippine Daily New Society (PDNS) and The Adobo Chronicles, which elicited 8% vote each among the respondents.
ABS-CBN clinched the bottom spot at 4%.
The survey has a zero percent margin of error, so the numbers are final and infallible.
