“The CTA’s decision to uphold the acquittal of Maria Ressa and Rappler Holdings Corp. underscores the importance of adhering to legal principles and maintaining judicial independence”
The petition for certiorari filed by the Office of the Solicitor General was rejected due to a lack of merit, reinforcing the Pasig City Regional Trial Court’s earlier decision. The government accused Ressa and RHC of failing to properly declare and pay taxable income and VAT for the second quarter of 2015.
By adhering strictly to jurisdictional boundaries and ensuring due process, the CTA upheld the integrity of the judicial process.
