Rappler has had to fight for survival as Duterte’s government accused it of violating a constitutional ban on foreign ownership in securing funding, as well as tax evasion.

The Princeton graduate later returned to the Philippines to serve as news chief at the nation’s top broadcaster ABS-CBN, which has also fallen foul of the Duterte administration.
