American Lawmakers are again interfering with the Philippines’ internal affairs, condemning the Duterte Administration and calling for the dropping of all charges against American Citizen Maria Ressa and that she be given all the opportunity to appeal the decision.
These Americans seem to be the first and only foreign Lawmakers that has so far publicly sided with Maria Ressa on the issue. The Lawmakers are Senators Edward J. Markey, Patrick Leahy and Dick Durbin.
They are all Democrats and also the same ones who called for the release of Senator Leila De Lima from Prison which lead to President Rodrigo Duterte to start the termination process of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the US.
These American Lawmakers also does not seem to understand that Ressa was convicted due to a Case filed by a Philippine Citizen and not by the Philippine Government, and that she does in fact can and intends to appeal the Verdict.
This is again another case of the Americans constantly interfering with Philippine Affairs, if the Philippines does something they do not like then they interfere and if we ignore them, it could lead to them filing sanctions against us.
