MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Friday believed that international magazine Time Magazine made a \u201cmistake\u201d in recognizing Rappler’s chief executive officer Maria Ressa as one of the \u201cmost influential women of the past century.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made the reaction after Ressa was honored by Time Magazine in its 100 Women of the Year special edition released in March.<\/p>\n

Sought for comment, Panelo said: \u201cYou can be correct all the time, (but) mistakes happen. Maybe this is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panelo, nevertheless, said the Palace respects Time Magazine\u2019s recognition of Ressa as one of the most influential women around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that is the perception of those who measure her,\u00a0eh ‘di wala tayong magagawa<\/em>\u00a0(we cannot do anything about it).\u00a0Ganyan talaga<\/em>\u00a0(It happens). She’s a good journalist, as far as I am concerned, except that she cannot go anywhere beyond her biases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Time Magazine, in its introduction of the 100 Women of the Year project, said it is \u201cspotlighting influential women who were often overshadowed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ressa was named \u201cPerson of the Year\u201d in 2018, along with former Washington Post journalist Jamal Kashoggi, Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Ho, and the newspaper Capital Gazette.<\/p>\n

Ressa, who is facing several criminal charges before Philippine courts, has branded the cases as harassment for Rappler\u2019s supposed critical reporting of Duterte and his government.<\/p>\n

Malaca\u00f1ang has repeatedly denied Ressa\u2019s allegations and called on the latter to stop using press freedom as an excuse for her arrest.<\/p>\n

It has also insisted that press freedom is \u201cvery much\u201d alive in the Philippines, as Duterte continues to allow Rappler to be critical of his administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
