Rappler CEO Maria Ressa returns to Manila, confirms arrest warrant against her

Rappler chief executive officer and executive editor Maria Ressa confirmed that an arrest warrant had already been issued against her.

"Our lawyers have verified. A warrant of arrest was issued. I'm ready to post bail. I will do what our lawyers advise," Ressa told reporters at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 as she arrived in Manila on Sunday.

She added: "It is easier to navigate a conflict zone, a war zone than it is to navigate the social media world and the legal weaponization of laws in our country. But we hold the line."
