Celery - from Probe? A few of these stories are in the pipeline, I think
Good morning from Manila! Last week, I was in Philadelphia to keynote the Media Funders Summit. It was an emotional day for the roughly 200 people in the intimate space because of the LA protests, the battle between California governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. Washington had called in the national guard and sent in the marines ... for the first time in a very long time. I gave a 15 min presentation of what we had learned in the Philippines, the technology we had built, and then did a 15 min Q&A with Sara Lomax, president & CEO of WURD radio and cofounder of URL media. I think the most important thing I could've said is that when you're in the middle of the fight for your rights that you take it step by step. That's how you get through the darkness - by the end, we were all emotional because now is the time to act. (Although I have to say for us Filipinos, it's been nearly a decade of knowing this hehe) I'll share the 30 mins with you once we get it. In the meantime, here's the speech I gave ONE YEAR ago at the Cannes Lions when they gave me the Cannes Lionheart award: https://www.rappler.com/about/awards-recognition/full-text-transcript-maria-ressa-2024-cannes-lionheart/
With your own voice we are getting that courage to talk and communicate and understand the words FACT, TRUTH & TRUST and giving its own meaning and using it for what really matters the most.
My late husband Daniel Vale used to watch you and talk about your amazing work and praise you for your positive attitude to be so brave as a woman (and small) I cannot forget that day when we had brown out and ask me if how long it will last because he is waiting to watch the news that he was following eveday. No electricity for 3dys has made him furious and started to complain about the electric company and voicing what could have been wrong and how this can be done easily. This lead to have more topics about HOW COME YOUR GOVERMENT??????????????????????????
I am not that fan of the government issue and who has power to command if they are doing it for the government. And things is possible if no corruption is involved. I have to pinch or warn him to shut his mouth and never say words about the government being a foriegn individual. It comes to a point that he has to have words for everything which he thinks that our government must have done this right to begin with and government should adopt new opportunities and learn more about faster telecommunications,more cement road,no brownout,learn to grow that can be harvested not to import like rice, introduce more foreign products,build more school to educate people for free, work for everyone with their own field opportunities. Free medical assistance and medications specially for senior and unfortunate ones. Bringing experts to educate locals in different ways to improve shaping up our economy,faster services in bank, local businesses processes, and so much more..
All of them has mentioned so often that he wanted to write the Office of the President.
Tell about his plans that can help our Country in the growth of our nation economy to make profit and never take any loan from other countries.
God bless you all!
My husband was a telephone engineer and he was the first one to build out cell site in Antipolo. Invited to fix the damage of the site after lighting hit that cause so much problems and lost trust from consumer and avoid bad reviews.
It was midnight when he got a phone call and I can hear thier conversation so clearly about the plans and everything is all Prepared and he has to be out from our hotel wd in few minutes to catch his flight to Manila as EMERGENCY. My heart was beating so fast and felt scared cause I know I will stay in Hong Kong alone. Never been that he travel without me for work abroad or during his holiday.
Base of that conversation with his job description it will only take a couple of hours and sure be back in HK that night which he has a ticket too. This words have made me calm and convinced that I don't have to be afraid and worry cause it will be fast and I knew his ability in this situation and solve it always. Things are going to work as planned.
This guy has been so good in many things and never heard from him complaining about it.
Ma'am Maria Ressa if there is anything that I can do or need to prove I am more than happy to have you for this topic to be out even if this will be out in public.
How I wish that Dan is here still things will be different. He could enjoy his hard earned money and investments with the US to Phil
Couldn’t let this rare moment pass — a photo with Maria Ressa, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner. Had to muster some courage, haha! She was so warm, she even asked for my name 😁

I focused on the solutions we discovered in Rappler & Nerve - our evolution in journalism, community and technology. On Friday, as vice chair of the leadership panel of the Internet Governance Forum, we held meetings, did interviews, and did the closing speech that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/live/ttFMJbUpUcs?si=4hCAcTRJ8J53pU5I&t=17543
This is Carla Yap-Sy Su's presentation of the combined Rappler+Nerve solution (watch it to see what we're developing and rolling out). That's followed by the last media hub interview with me :) Indonesian Kompas journalist Alefia Malik & DW's Juan Gomez Lopez: https://www.youtube.com/live/xSaoe4cVczs?si=5rABpk1vbs6dtRqv&t=12181
