“So how do you stand up to a #dictator? By embracing values, honesty, vulnerability, empathy, moving away from emotions, embracing your fear, believing in the good. You can’t do it alone. You have to create a team, strengthen your area of influence. Avoid thinking in terms of 'us against them.' Stand in someone else’s shoes. And do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Maria #Ressa, How to Stand Up to a Dictator

The Hold the Line Coalition (HTL) welcomes Tuesday’s Regional Trial Court verdict acquitting #Nobel laureate #Maria #Ressa and her news outlet #Rappler on the final criminal tax charge leveled against them by the regime of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

The judgment comes after a legal battle lasting nearly five years. If they had lost the case, Ressa could have been jailed for up to 10 years, while Rappler would have faced a fine.

“This verdict underlines that it is possible for #Phillipine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to chart a different course to his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte, who waged a relentless campaign of media repression,”
