the Constitution's provisions on foreign ownership and control.Rappler
claimed that it is 100% Filipino owned and that Omidyar only invests in the
media firm.Despite the certificate revocation, SEC stated that Rappler can
still operate since their decision isn't final, pointing out that the media firm can
still challenge the decision before the Court of Appeals within 15 days.
