Resolusyon para parangalan si Maria Reesa inihain ni Sen. Leila de Lima
Naghain ng resolusyon si Senator Leila de Lima para batiin at parangalan si Maria Reesa, bilang unang Filipino na nakatanggap ng Nobel Peace Prize.
Sa paghain ng Senate Resolution 930, ikinatuwiran ni de Lima na ang pagbibigay parangal ng Senado kay Reesa ay pagpapakita sa sambayanan na ang institusyon ay naninindigan para sa demokrasya at malayang pamamahayag gayundin sa katotohanan, hustisya at kalayaan.
“Maria Ressa’s historic feat is definitive proof that press freedom is still universally recognized as a critical component in any functional democracy, and a monumental slap in the face of oppressive and tyrannical regimes, both past and present,” sabi ng senadora.
Noong Oktubre 8 inanunsiyo ng Norwegian Nobel Committee na kabilang si Reesa sa dalawang mamamahayag na 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winners dahil sa kanilang pagprotekta sa ‘freedom of the press and freedom of expression.’
“At a crucial time for journalists in the Philippines, Ressa’s victory sends a message loud and clear: the world is watching and democracy overcomes even the strongest forces to subdue it,” dagdag pa ng namumuno sa Senate Committee on Social Justice.
Bago ang resolusyon ni de Lima, ilang senador na ang pumuri at bumati kay Reesa at may ilan na sinabing nararapat lang na ibigay sa kanya ang Senate Medal of Excellence.
