The renowned journalist Maria Ressa first interviewed Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in the 1980s – her media career was just beginning and he was the then mayor of Davao City. More than 30 years later, the two are still crossing swords. Ressa is now on a crusade to combat the ‘fake news’ she believes Duterte and others spread on social media. She's facing charges of fraud, tax evasion and cyber libel, in what her supporters believe are revenge prosecutions.
