MANILA, Philippines — Senator Sonny Angara on Friday said law enforcers should “perform their tasks in humane ways,” following the arrest for cyberlibel of Rappler chief executive and administration critic Maria Ressa. She spent the night at the NBI headquarters before she was allowed to post a P100,000 bail on Thursday. NBI agents also reportedly threatened Rappler reporters who are taking videos of Ressa as she was being arrested. The Cybercrime Act was enacted into law on Sept. 12, 2012, and took effect only on Oct. 3, 2012. /mufREAD: Rappler on Maria Ressa arrest: The case is preposterous, baselessRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
