ADVERTISEMENTAndanar said the PCOO team was composed of Undersecretaries Lorraine Badoy and Joel Egco and Assistant Secretary Kris Ablan. Local and foreign organizations slammed the arrest and overnight detention of Ressa after she was served an arrest warrant by the National Bureau of Investigation last Wednesday for a cyberlibel case filed by businessman Wilfredo Keng. Keng sued Rappler for a 2012 article that accused him of involvement in illegal drugs and human trafficking. Andanar said international media should get Keng’s side or lose objectivity and violate journalists’ code of ethics. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Sunday dared Ressa to sue him and the government if she was convinced she was wrongly indicted and arrested.
