The CA's latest decision upholding Maria Ressa’s cyber libel conviction is a reminder that the attacks and threats meant to silence us have not wavered at all. Now is the time to show your support for independent, fearless journalism. Be a Rappler+ member: rplr.co/Plus

@AndyBau1060 @rapplerdotcom Sure, that's a factor too. And so was local political support. Both can be a factor for influencing a choice of a voter.

@rapplerdotcom Didn't it occur to you that the voting public just don't TRUST Atty Robredo? Her consistent poor ratings showed it and yet you insist that it's the dynasties that made him win. Couldn't it be, why they went to BBM is because they knew that Atty Robredo has no chance at all?

How to win an election? Online propaganda + on-ground machinery. In the May 2022 elections, overwhelming support of political dynasties across the country and the online propaganda network built over time contributed to Marcos Jr.'s win.

Who wore it better?

Pink ladies of the 47th Parliament.

(Thread 1/5) Fascinating to watch the info ops/mob over the weekend. Data downloaded for study by research groups. If I go to jail unjustly, Filipino citizens lose far more than I do. Let me lay out what can happen to YOU if you're Filipino:

The hypocrisy of his entry into power - propagating his myth in a National Museum, an institution made to protect the history he is trying to erase. #MarcosInauguration

New president, new lyrics: 🎵Wala kaming pake sa iyong presidente, basta kami hindi tutang pabebe 🎵

@mariaressa says "Algorithms are opinion in code." How much have we allowed machines operated by white people to divide our country? #CourageOn #DefendPressFreedom

@julesguiang @inquirerdotnet @MultiSportPH Hay salamat. It's a sexist and stupid practice. Nakakasakit at nakakadown ang mga comments about looks kapag ang trabaho lang naman ay mag report.

@inquirerdotnet @MultiSportPH @HappyFeraren!!!

Much like the reality that it’s refreshing to have an attractive kolehiyala reporting about the UAAP men’s basketball games on TV, there’s that unnerving reminder that being on a platform like this also opens them up to being objectified. | via @MultiSportPH

Marcos won with 31 million. Almost double of Duterte’s voters and well over double of Robredo’s. The worst first misstep people trying to understand them can commit is flattening them into one stereotype.

@ramboreports Agree. The landslide difference of 30.75% between them is our blind spot.

That thisty repressed look for their respective bosses. What dictatorial lust looks like:

For those looking to migrate, you don't need to look far: Iloilo, Guimaras, Sorsogon, Naga, Camarines Sur/Norte, etc. have shown, through their vote, what they value. #PHVote

Election anxiety.

Natatakot ako. Pero umaasa pa rin. What is this feeling called?

Where is the lie? #CaviteIsPink

FACT: Been covering VP Leni Robredo’s presidential campaign since she declared her candidacy. NEVER did she say there would be chaos if she loses this race. Her male rivals fell into that trap of a question ‘no? #PHVote

If the survey sadbois understood that elections are a numbers game, that presscon should have been about them trying to get BBM voters to switch to them. Same target market of sexists and misogynists. Easier for those types to switch to a non-female candidate. #PHVote
