The former dominant social news media company in the Philippines, Rappler founded by supposed to be veteran and respected journalist Maria Ressa allegedly proves how desperate they are by personally attacking Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre and Mocha Uson.



Rappler posted a GIF on their official Facebook account at around 2:42 PM of January 29, 2017. The image was accompanied by a caption that reads: "Those born in the year of the dog are said to be faithful and loyal. They're also intenseful (sic) defensive with friends and family. Says a lot about dogs MOCHA USON BLOG, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano."

Numerous prominent social media personality were disgusted with the way Rappler personally attacks those Duterte allies and responded with the Rappler's viral image.

According to La Salle Professor Antonio Contreras there's "no decent publication claiming to be a legitimate source of news run by people claiming to be veteran journalists would dare put up something like this," Contreras said.

The Pro-Duterte supporter added further that "Maybe it is true that Rappler has been turned into a trolling center. For there is nothing more appropriate to describe it with this post," Contreras added.



ThinkingPinoy once described Rappler as a mere sorority college blog turned into a news company after they accused Mocha Uson, Thinking Pinoy and Sass Rogando Sasot as paid social media personality by no less than the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Sec. Martin Andanar.

The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW.
