NewsTranscript
00:00 The PASIG Regional Trial Court acquitted Rappler CEO Maria Reza and Rappler Holdings Corporation on the case of tax evasion.
00:08 The case was filed in 2018 for the incorrect declaration of sales receipts of Rappler from the initiation of the Philippine Depository Receipts or PDR
00:18 and for the incorrect payment of more than Php 294,000 in the Value Added Tax or VAT.
00:24 In the decision of PASIG-RTC, the PDR did not sell Rappler to earn money but to get investment.
00:32 That's why Rappler did not have to pay VAT for this.
00:36 This is the fifth and last tax evasion case filed against Reza under the Duterte Administration.
00:42 Reza was first dismissed from the Court of Tax Appeals in four tax evasion cases.
00:50 It took almost five years but it's there.
00:54 Finally, we were acquitted despite the political harassment and the intimidation.
00:59 We held the line, we continued, we had to have faith despite all of the bad that we could see.
01:07 The cases were filed against us to try to prevent us from doing our jobs.
