T-shirts such as these were worn by staff at the Philippine web magazine Rappler that Maria Ressa co-founded in 2012. While giving her Nobel lecture in 2021, she held up a t-shirt such as this to emphasise her message. She spoke of how information technology had become a forum for spreading fear, anger and hate, but that we needed to turn this around. The text on the t-shirts says “In order to be the good, we have to BElieve THEre is GOOD in the world.”
When she donated the t-shirts to the Nobel Prize Museum, she said that they had caused discussions among her colleagues at Rappler. As investigative journalists, they are usually "grim and determined", since their attention is focused on atrocities. But they are doing it for their society, and Ressa is hopeful about the future.
Maria Ressa's hope lives on despite the adversities she encounters working as an investigative journalist. Her efforts to uncover power abuse and brutality in the Philippines has led to her being arrested several times. The first time was on 13 February 2019, and she chose to see the fact that she got released on bail the day after as her Valentine's gift from the government.
Maria Ressa donated the T-shirts to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2025. She also handed over a video from her first arrest. - Pristagare
