MANILA, Philippines –The Court of Appeals (CA) upheld its 2018 decision declaring that online news outfit is not 100 percent owned by Filipinos. ADVERTISEMENTThe Appeals Court said the motion for reconsideration filed by Rapper lacks merit. Accordingly, this Court finds no cogent justification to reconsider its decision dated 26 July 2018,” the Court said. The Court reiterated that there is no violation on the part of SEC when it evaluated and revoked Rappler’s business registration. Therefore, the Court maintains that the assailed SEC en ban decision cannot be annulled on the ground that petitioners were denied due process,” it stressed.
