- Good morning from Manila! "The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history." Milan Kundera #CourageON
- Good morning from Manila! "I learned from experience that joy does not reside in the things about us, but in the very depths of the soul, that one can have it in the gloom of a dungeon as well as in the palace of a king." St. Therèse of Lisieux
- Thank you to the @NobelPrize Committee for the spotlight on journalists and our battle for facts. To my friends & family, @rapplerdotcom supporters, thank you for helping us #HoldTheLine. Please give me a few days to respond to the messages you've sent! :)
- (1/4) Good morning from Manila!! Infinite thanks to so many people. Here and around the world. I've been inundated the past few days. I'm stunned that Judge Montesa ignored the legal acrobatics that made this case possible. Our search for justice continues. #HoldTheLine
- Online violence is real world violence. Impunity online leads to impunity offline.
- Good morning from Manila! "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." Desmond Tutu #CourageON

- The irony, of course, is that the national government didn’t know how to implement so they threw it to local government. Now insecure because some are doing a good job? Focus! Get more test kits!'There is only one republic here, the Republic of the Philippines, and therefore, you should abide by the directives of the national government,' says President Rodrigo Duterte. #COVID19PH #coronavirus rappler.com/nation/255214-…
- This is how badly candidate Marcos wants to avoid questions from an independent reporter. At the end, you hear @lianbuan cry out in pain #CourageONReplying to @lianbuanWanting to ask a question to the presidential candidate, here is how Marcos' media officer blocks my hand and my camera as multiple bodies are put on me even as I get close to asking a question.
00:00 - Thanks for the time in Chicago, @BarackObama. Will not be able to join you @StanfordCyber - I only received court approvals from 6 of 7 charges. The randomness of violation of my rights makes me work harder! Disinformation is the bedrock of democracy’s death by a thousand cuts.
- (1/9) Maraming salamat po! Siguro naman po - para sa mga trolls ng @rapplerdotcom at mga naniwala sa mga kasinungalingan tugkol sa amin, napatunayan na po namin na hindi tax evader ang Rappler. Medyo matagal nga lang po. 4 years and 2 months pero naging tama na rin.
- On the way to court, this time for tax evasion. These political charges make me laugh. That’s all you can do when law is weaponized against journalists.
- Good late morning from Manila! "I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against." Malcolm X
