She also describes her arrest as an "abuse of power" and "weaponization of the law".[18] Ressa's arrest is condemned by journalists, organizations, and influential figures from the Philippines and abroad, describing it as an attack on press freedom.[20][21][22] Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo denies that the government was trying to silence press freedom.[22] President Duterte has repeatedly labeled Rappler as "fake news" as he perceives the online news site to be too critical of his administration.[23][24] However, the libel complaint had been filed by businessman Wilfredo Keng regarding a Rappler article published in May 2012 (updated in February 2014) where Keng was alleged to have lent a vehicle to Chief Justice Renato Corona, who was undergoing an impeachment trial at the time.[25] The article also links Keng to human trafficking and drug smuggling.[26]
