Maria Ressa faces 3rd cyber libel case enablePagination: false endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 14) — Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is facing her third cyber libel case, this time, over an article written by reporter Rambo Talabong on a college professor's alleged involvement in a thesis-for-sale scheme. Documents obtained by CNN Philippines on Thursday show the charges reaching Branch 24 of the Regional Trial Court of Manila on Jan. 8, filed by Senior Assistant City Prosecutor John Allen Farinas. The state prosecutor said Ressa, as editor, and Talabong, as writer, conspired to publish a January 23, 2020 article titled 'Thesis for sale: Benilde students say they paid ₱20,000 to pass', with the "malicious intent" of damaging the reputation of Ariel Pineda, then head of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde's Export Management Program.
