Repost: Rappler Fact Checks Mocha Uson's Wanting to Place News Site Under Her Office

Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson has requested her boss, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar, to reclassify Rappler from a bona fide member of the Malacañang Press Corps (MPC) to "Social Media" under her office.

Uson said in her request: “The undersigned, pursuant to her mandate for social media respectfully requests clarification on a member of the Malacañang Press Corp (sic). Rappler, an online publication that has no counterpart print or broadcast arm is technically considered social media. This should fall under the rules on accreditation by my office."

"In view of the foregoing, I respectfully request that Rappler be reclassified and moved from Malacanang Press Corp (sic) to Social Media.”

Misinformed, misplaced

Uson's request is misplaced on 3 counts:

1) Rappler is an independent private media company. Because the Constitution guarantees freedom of the press (Article III, Section 4), government does not have the power to regulate independent media.

2) The Malacañang Press Corps (MPC) is an independent group unattached to any government agency. It is neither under government control nor under the supervision of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).

MPC by-laws are explicit on accreditation and cover online news organizations like Rappler. Section 2 under "Qualifications for MPC Membership" states: "For internet-based media, the reporter must represent a website affiliated with a duly-recognized print/radio/TV agency, or established online news organization with regular deployment of personnel in major beats."

3) The PCOO's Interim Social Media Practitioner Accreditation covers only individuals and not news organizations. Section 5 of the PCOO's Department Order 15 is categorical: "Social Media accreditation shall be issued to a Filipino Citizen who is at least eighteen (18) years of age, with not less than five thousand (5,000) followers in any social media platform."

This clearly does not cover Rappler, Incorporated, which is a registered media corporation. – Rappler.com

    1. Objectively speaking, Rappler is not considered as mainstream media.
      Having Rappler to be re-classified is something we can ponder.

    2. 1:36 isa ka pa. Magsama kayo ni Mocha. Objectively speaking my a$$.

    3. 1:36 they are mainstream...just not printed. And even if we say they are not mainstream, they're still not social media. Not mainstream and social media are not the same.

    4. Ponder ponder ka pa dyan. At sino mag re classify mga DDS?

    5. To those who are not thinking, here's the definition of mainstream media.

      Traditional forms of mass communication, such as newspapers, television, and radio (as opposed to the Internet), regarded collectively.

    6. Agree with 1:36.

      Do yourself a favor by doing your research first before these nonsense comments.

    7. Wala nang kredibilidad ang rappler. Puro sira lang kay Duterte ang focus. Nakalimutan na ni Maria Ressa yung fake news nila tungkol sa nangyari sa RW? Ipinagpilitan na ISIS daw hahaha

    8. Nakalimutan mo din 5:43 na yung mga reports nila ay hindi galing sa kanili. Anong ipinagpilitan ang pinagsasasabi mo. Ang problema ng DDS ay selective sila sa gusto nilang paniwalaan. Kalkalin nyo ang rappler para makita nyong hindi sila bias.

  14. Ang problema kasi sa gobyerno na to ng dahil sa utang na loob binigyan ng position mga unqualified ban katulad ni Mocha. At dahil malaki ang natulong ng Mochacha na yan para mauto mga tao at manalo din Digong, feeling nya may K na sya diktahan mga ns govt. At bakit kailangan na mga kaDDS lang nila dapat pinapakinggan ng gobyerno feeling nila sila lang may karapatan dahil binoto nila di Digong. Kawawang Pilipinas yan and the best and the brightest.

  17. Kung ganiyan lang din and points na niraise ng Rappler, pasok di ang social media bloggers sa gusto nila. Ang punto ni Mocha, walang print and broadcast counterparts ang Rappler which is correct! News org na hanggang online lang is equivalent to social media org status.

    1. Ateng napaghahalata ka na pro Mocha :). Paki basahin mo nga ulit ang punto or better go and read the Law in reference to this issue :) Peace kapatid!

    2. Please read point number 2 again, please.


      "For internet-based media, the reporter must represent a website affiliated with a duly-recognized print/radio/TV agency, or established online news organization with regular deployment of personnel in major beats."

      Emphasis on "OR"- they only have to fulfill one condition from the two listed, and they did fulfill the last one.

      Also, please read number 3-
      social media practitioners pertain to individuals, not organizations.

      Hope this helps. :)

    3. 1:11 ok ka lang. Alam mo ang meaning ng digital media ha? Like yahoo news or google news? Meron pang print and broadcast equivalent ang yahoo news. Napaghahalata ka na follower ni Mocha please check the difference between social media and digital media.

    3. sa'yong sayo na ang flourishing tourism mo. proud pinoy ako dahil sa freedom of speech natin, na may 'say' tayo sa nangyayari sa bansa natin at hindi parang tuta na sunod-sunuran sa amo. pinapakain ka nga, maganda tinutulugan mo, super love ka ng amo mo, pero at the end of the day, hindi ka pa din tinuturing na tao na may individual wants and needs and aspirations. kung kuntento ka sa ganun, more powers to you, deserve mo ang UAE. pero para sa mga pinoy na mahal ang kalayaan, na kahit may struggle sa buhay eh ayos lang kasi pangarap mo nman inaatim mo at walang kumokontrol sa bawat kilos, hindi para sa amin ang ganung gobyerno.
