Court orders arrest of Maria Ressa, Rambo Talabong over Benilde thesis story

Court orders arrest of Maria Ressa, Rambo Talabong over Benilde thesis story

Lawyer Ted Te says the cyber libel case is ‘disturbing because it seems like cyber libel is now the first option in case of disagreement on reporting.’ Rappler calls for the decriminalization of libel.

Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 24 ordered the arrest of Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and reporter Rambo Talabong for cyber libel over the latter’s investigative story about an alleged corruption scheme at the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (CSB).
