Thank you very much.
Witnesses, I want to thank all of you for your incredible courage and for the work you're doing for human rights in the Philippines.
My first question is for Maria Ressa.
It is very good to see you again before this committee.
You have fought very hard—Rappler and you, yourself. You're renowned around the world for the work on press freedom, journalistic freedom and integrity. Yesterday, for World Press Freedom Day, there was a global action by Reporters Without Borders called #HoldTheLine. It was in support of you and the attacks on you that were a direct result of your work in making sure there is media freedom and that the abuses are actually being reported openly. World leaders from around the world spoke out for you.
Global action like that, this committee, and I know you spoke before the ethics grand committee previously.... When the world gives platforms and voice and speaks out, what impact does that have? How important is that?
