Good Day Ma'am Maria Ressa,
I'd like to know when are you coming back in bed manila? been wanting your autograph for a long time.
Am back! We’ll hold a move.ph chat series at FEU on Jan. 12. Come join us!
Hi Ms. Maria Ressa! We really look up to you as an ethical journalist….
We're now starting our thesis and as a Media Production student we want to focus on socially relevant topics on media. We chose the Political Propaganda using media to fabricate or sugar coat the information about the government. We will be doing documentary for this topic and I just want to ask if you can suggest anything to improve our study.
I know this is too much to ask, but if you have free time to be interviewed, We'll be so grateful to have that opportunity with you Ms. Maria Ressa.
Thanks!

Hi! Ms Maria your speech How Good People turn Evil made a mark to my students actually they are the student leaders of the school where I worked for the past 8 years now. They really like it and I encouraged them to read the Lucifer effect. Congratulations and Goodluck to future speaking engagements
My students were laughing at me last Saturday while I was listening to your lecture at the ICCS. They said I was mesmerized.
Anyway, thank you for being an inspiration, not just to teachers like me, but also to young people. My students now understand why I admire you so much after they have heard you speak.
By the way, will it be okay to copy your speeches so I can share them to my students? I am teaching Communication values and ethics and I want to share with them issues relevant to the present media landscape. Thank you. Keep safe, we need brave people like you.
Thank you so much for listening! Yes, please feel free to use the speeches. I believe Move.PH will post Saturday's speech on its Facebook page.
Dear Maria,
Thank you for the number of years of sharing yourself to the Filipino people. We need a journalist like you in the Philippines, to make a difference in your simple ways, but as you said you have to move on, but I hope you'll still continue to be in the country. Keep up the spirit and I hope all the best for you. I admire you as a person and as a journalist as well.
God speed
Mark
Thanks, Mark! I'll be back after I write this book.
hello ma'am !!
I am candy from Southern Leyte..
I here a lot from you and I admire you very much..
I'm turning seventeen tomorrow ..( July 12 )
I would like to ask from you the things I need to improve to become a professional Development Communicator..( actually, I'm a DevCom student, and i know i have a lot to improve.. )
God Bless and more power my dear idol!!
Hi, Candy,
Glad you found the blog. It's hard to answer this question in 140 characters. This is a little more manageable. There's no quck answer to your question. You'd need to understand how politics and economics interact, know the behavior you want to encourage and/or change, and put together the tools you'll need to get that idea across. What's your goal? For us in Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo, we were specific. We focused on elections in 2007 and how new technology can make that process better. It meant re-educating, pushing people into the new media space using the megaphone power of traditional broadcasting. Then in 2009, we added emotions and deepened our social networks. What do you want to do? Social media is an incredibly powerful tool that has viral dimensions that could help in any development project/issue.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Maria
Hi Ms. Ressa,
I agree with the Priest, they should have not put back VP De Castro and Mrs. Roxas in TV patrol. It is not balance anymore that's why i am watching 24 oras instead.
I hate it when the former VP making side comments… wala naman yata syang nagawa?
its business you know…
Hi Ms Ressa,
I am not happy how ABS-CBN conduct their news reporting especially the Noli de Castro and group
does TV Patrol. Noli is very self-righteous, knowing palpak din naman siya as VP. Because of this
I will cancel my subscription of TFC. Sana di ka umalis ng ABS-CBN, maganda ang News during your time.
ANC is still ok, pero di ko talaga masikmura TV Patrol.
Thank you for your thoughts. It was time for me to move on, but I had an amazing time while I was there.
