Sa inihaing dokumento sa Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), isinulat ni Maria Ressa na nakatira lamang siya sa dating opisina ng Rappler sa Antel Global Center sa Ortigas Center.
Pero ayon sa kolum ni Rigoberto Tiglao sa pahayagang Manila Times na lumabas nitong Miyerkoles, Marso 6, naninirahan umano ang Rappler CEO sa eleganteng condominium sa Bonifacio Global Village kung saan P150,000.00 ang buwanang renta.
“What bolsters the truth of this claim is that Ressa went to the extent of violating the Securities and Exchange Commission’s reportorial requirements and refused to report her residence. In documents submitted to the SEC, in which incorporators of Rapper Inc. and then Rappler Holdings are required to report their residences, Ressa reported hers as Rappler’s first headquarters (at Antel Global Center), instead of her residence,” ayon sa kanyang pitak.
Binanggit pa ng dating presidential spokesman na palaging bumoboto sa Estados Unidos si Ressa bilang American na may dual citizenship.
Makikita, aniya, sa voter’s registration ni Ressa na siya ay may tirahan sa Orange County sa New York.
“Unless she perjured herself in her US voter’s registration, Ressa’s residence is in an upper-class suburb in Monroe, Orange County in New York. The median income in Ressa’s neighborhood is $160,000, according to US census data, putting her in the top 8-percent income bracket in the US,” banat pa ni Tiglao.
Sa isang tweet, itinanggi naman ni Ressa na sa Amerika siya bumoboto.
“Hahahahahaha yet more lies – considering I’ve lived the last 33 years outside the US. Voted in PH elections, and you’d be surprised who for. The question, of course, is why I’ve become such a target for disinformation,” sagot ni Ressa.
