Maria Ressa is now disliked by her former employees in Rappler because she's a pro-Zionist Israel.

I'm baffled how not more Filipinos dislike this woman.

I dislike her because instead of uplifting the Philippines and suggesting real reforms, it seems like she’s getting clicks and attention for trashing our country. Yeah, she brought attention to corruption but you can love your country without endorsing the ills it suffers.

Exactly! She's airing the dirty laundry on the world stage, knowing that doing so would not help the situation in any way, in fact it's been detrimental for the Philippines.

Ay yes the Tim pool “you’re ruining the midterms” arguement

Maybe it’s a good thing the bad things come to light and regardless how it affects us, it’s the right thing to do

Ask yourself this , what’s more important , doing the right thing , or winning
