The Maria Ressa Book Launch
October 12 was a day that was already marked as a very special event on my calendar. This was the day when Maria Ressa, Rappler’s CEO and Executive Editor, was going to launch her book entitled “10 days, 10 years: From Bin laden to Facebook. When I saw Rappler announced it online, I was ecstatic and quickly shared it on my Facebook page. I wouldn’t want to be stingy and keep all the great news to myself. It was an event that needs to be shared and appreciated with everyone. I made sure I won’t missed it, and that others would know and have the opportunity to celebrate the book launch with Maria.
