Good morning from Manila! A lot has happened since I last updated you. Apologies, it's been crazy. I spent 10 days in Australia - Perth, Melbourne, and Canberra. So many highlights that I the whole trip was a highlight. First stop: Minderoo AI think tank. Some incredible photos of beautiful areas (and people), not to mention the incredible conversations to try to shape the AI arms race. These incredible photos are from Kate Crawford, who studies artificial intelligence and its impact (with a focus on climate change).

The man on the ledge with the incredible nighttime sky behind him is Andrew Forrest, who created Minderoo, which means clean water. Like me, his photo has been used in deep fakes to sell crypto, but he sued Facebook. In discovery, he found out that his photo has been used in 230,000 scam ads https://www.startupdaily.net/topic/global-tech/andrew-forrest-featured-on-230000-facebook-scam-ads-and-us-court-is-forcing-meta-to-reveal-how-it-happened/

From Perth, I flew to Melbourne, where I gave the Southeast Asia Oration at the University of Melbourne. It was great to see old friends, former Aus amb to the Philippines Amanda Gorely, former Aus FM Alexander Downer and his daughter Georgina and former Rapplers @NGL (I hope that's Natashya Gutierrez), David Lozada (why aren't you here, David?!) and Bon (where are you?) -- here's the lecture: https://www.rappler.com/about/video-maria-ressa-sea-oration-university-melbourne/

What I like about the last few months is that we've been in the trenches so long that I've now begun focusing on solutions. After nearly 20 years, we know the problems!! So if you've followed me and Rappler here, you know that the matrix protocol is one of our solutions. It was really the Media Funders Summit in June that pushed me to focus on solutions!!! Which you would've seen in Warsaw at the World Justice Forum (incredible what Warsaw has accomplished but that nation's elections show that democracy is a day to day, person to person battle. Oh, if you missed this, watch Anne Applebaum and I take our corrupted public information ecosystem apart and how it leads to her Autocracy, Inc -- we call it kleptocracy: https://www.rappler.com/video/hold-the-line-maria-ressa-interview/anne-applebaum-future-journalism-democracy-rule-of-law/

Good Afternoon Ma'am Maria Ressa.
May this letter will find the way to say that I need you and your team help me and bring out the evidence of our entitlement to our claims of Benifits of my late husband. I have lots of forms of claims that needed to be done but my problem is that I am not knowledgeable enough to get it done alone. I had tried to asked someone but they only tried to ruin and tried to access my file to get the funds behind my back. I am not capable enough to make things right and follow the instructions on this page. I had been in lots of trauma fighting scammers. Thank you for your interest. God bless
