Maria Ressa does not deserve the Nobel. I have criticized Duterte but not on Press Freedom. The Philippine Press is alive and well not because of Maria Ressa. No writer is in jail. There is no censorship. Duterte hasn't close s single newspaper or radio station. 

The closure of ABS CBN was made by congress which did not renew the ABS CBN franchise. The real issue against ABSC CBN is not press freedom but money, politics, power, and its abuse by the Lopezes who own the TV network.

Duterte was not serious with Maria Ressa else he could have nailed her like he did with Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Senator Leila Delima.
