He was included in the Rappler article in 2012 because of his connection with then-chief justice Renato Corona, who was going through an impeacment trial.

It was only 5 years later, in October 2017, that Keng filed a libel complaint with the justice department over the article against Ressa, Santos, and Rappler. This was around 3 months after President Duterte slammed Rappler in his State of the Nation Address., a Chinese tycoon who donated to the Duterte government a mega drug rehab center.

Keng was also the contact person for the construction company hired by Huang to build the rehabilitation center. One of the government contracts his company has gotten sinceKeng’s daughter, Patricia, wasDuterte’s critics said the government, which filed the case on behalf of the businessman, is using it to harass a critical news outlet and stifle a free press. Rappler has produced stories critical of Duterte’s anti-drug campaign and his propaganda network, which Ressa exposed in a 3-part series.

“It is shocking to see the Philippine government strain to extend its legal reach to target journalists while so many extrajudicial abuses cry out for investigation and prosecution,” the US senators said

Wow guys! Trying to recruit the world?Nakakahiya talaga kayo. No sense of shame. Put yourself in the shoes of Keng wouldn 't you do the same if your reputation is tarnished? Stop hiding behind press freedom. Press freedom is alive in the Philippines!

Igit nyo

The country is free. Don't say the world puts duterte on trial. Who is the world? You? And people please trust our justices. The verdict did not happen overnight. And I'm pretty sure the justice is smarter than the average Filipino or the one who made this rappler post.

Filed by a civilian lang tas buong mundo na?

After the court fou d Maria Resaa gulity of libel by destroying the reputation of an ordinary person lime us, who cannot fight you, you call that press freedom Shame on you Rappler!!

Kpag hindi pabor sainyo sasabihin wla ng press freedom at democracy

Maria Ressa who?!

Can you please go to China, or North Korea and try to do this same thing.

Kakatawa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I support Rappler in its advocacy for freepress. But come on, please stop linking Duterte to this case just because of shallow remarks he made before. You can't even provide concrete evidence that may connect the plaintiff and Duterte.

This is what you get if one wields colossal power and influence on the nation and apparently to the world. You cannot exempt yourself from accountability because no one really is.

💩💩💩

Sana di cya makalabas sa kulungan...

Parang hindi naman. Gumagawa na naman kayo ng sarili niyong narrative to suit your political agenda. Convicted criminal na si Ressa.

The Whole World is watching Mr.Du30...
