The credibilty of local news and current affairs channels has always been subject to speculation. While I like giving people the benefit of the doubt, some media outlets are clearly more subjective than others. Talks claim that Maria Ressa left her old job to start a media company that is truthful and objective. And Rappler was born out of that vision. This media outlet has brought credible news, the most heart-warming stories and the funniest articles I have ever read. The way they deliver news is unlike any other media outlet in the Philippines. I greatly admire not only their style of writing but also the truthfulness in every story that they publish. I really hope they keep up with this kind of unique and compelling way of delivering information. It also helps that they make use of social media to their advantage. read more

I carry so much respect for former CNN correspondent/news anchor Maria Ressa so when I heard that she was spearheading a local digital news outlet, I knew from there on out where I would be getting my news from. To this day, Rappler remains one of my foremost news sources because I trust them to be wholly objective. Rappler is ever-present on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as well. Their views never seem skewed or contrived unlike other news sources that I shall keep myself from specifying. I'm glad that Rappler is giving other news sources in the country a run for their money as a little competition is always good for consumers. Rappler has truly changed the way that we acquire news in the Philippines. read more
