Rodeth Icong Jr.: Wikipedia contents can be edited by anybody. Looks like Maria Ressa is still on April Fools day mode! Its already April 2 my gosh!
Maynne Millares: Tapos na ang Fire Prevention Month, pero wala pa ring kadala-dala itong si Mario Rosso <------ yes, yan ang name hindi yan typo, kasi mas mukha naman syang lalaki kesa girl.
Lagi na lang may sunog sa Facebook page nya, puta.
Ethel Catherine Paladar: That's the main reason why we're not allowed in the academe to use Wikipedia as one of the references in our thesis/dissertations. It's not a reliable source as it can be edited by anyone at any time.
Mir Clem: I think she's one of those editors and CONTRIBUTORS of such list... Hopefully someone could edit again and ADD RAPPLER AS ONE OF THOSE FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA... Because they can't define themselves if they are BLOGGERS or SOCIAL MEDIA or MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
