Input: The Philippine government has revoked the operating license of leading news website Rappler   officials said Monday in  a ruling denounced by President Rodrigo Duterte ' s critics as the latest blow to press freedom  . Rappler   set up in 2012   is among a clutch of Philippine news organizations that have sparred with  Duterte  over  their  critical coverage of  his  brutal drugs war . But the government rejected allegations that  the ruling  was an attack on press freedom   with Duterte ' s spokesman saying Rappler and Rappler Holdings Corp had violated a provision in the country ' s constitution restricting media ownership to Filipinos . At his state of the nation address to Congress last year Duterte vowed to expose Rappler ' s " American ownership ." " The issue at hand is the compliance of 100 percent Filipino ownership and management of mass media . It is not about infringement on the freedom of the press  " Duterte spokesman Harry Roque said in a statement Monday . " No one is above the law . Rappler has to comply  " Roque added . Rappler ' s acting managing editor Chay Hofilena told AFP the company would file a court appeal against the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) ruling   which is due to take effect in 15 days . " This is pure and simple harassment   the seeming coup de grace to the relentless and malicious attacks against us since 2016  " the website said in a statement . " We will continue bringing you the news   holding the powerful to account for their actions and decisions   calling attention to government lapses that further disempower the disadvantaged  " it said . The case concerns Rappler Holdings ' decision to issue Philippine depositary receipts for shares of Rappler Inc . that the government said were sold to foreign companies . "( They are ) existing for no other purpose than to effect a deceptive scheme to circumvent the constitution  " the SEC said in a January 11 ruling to revoke Rappler ' s certificates of incorporation that was posted on the commission ' s website Monday . The ruling followed setbacks suffered by other Philippine news organisations which have criticized Duterte ' s war on drugs that has killed nearly 4   000 suspects . In March last year  Duterte  described top newspaper Philippine Daily Inquirer and leading television broadcaster ABS - CBN as " sons of whores " and warned them of karmic repercussions over their criticism of his drug war . " I ' m not threatening them but someday their karma will catch up with them  "  Duterte  said . " They ' re shameless   those sons of whore journalists  " he added . Four months later the Inquirer announced its owners were in talks to sell the publication . A business tycoon who backed Duterte ' s 2016 election bid later disclosed he was planning to buy the Inquirer . Last year  Duterte  threatened to block ABS - CBN ' s application to renew its operating franchise   a permit that requires congressional approval . The mass media watchdog group National Union of Journalists of the Philippines denounced the Rappler ruling . " It was but one of many threats  Duterte  has made against media critical of  him  and  his  governance   such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer and broadcast network ABS - CBN  " the union said in a statement . " We call on all Filipino journalists to unite and resist every and all attempts to silence us  " the group added . Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros also criticised the ruling   calling it " pure harassment and a clear attack on press freedom ."
