October 12, 2021: On Monday, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s office congratulated journalist Maria Ressa for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which calls it “a victory for a Filipina,” for which it was happy to see.
Ressa, founder of Philippine news site Rappler, and Dmitry Muratov shared the 2021 prize following braving the wrath of the leaders of the Philippines and Russia, exposing corruption and misrule.
Ressa has been dealing with multiple legal challenges in courts related to Rappler’s dogged that search the reporting of Duterte’s government, its bloody war on drugs, and its social media usage to target opponents.
“It is a victory for a Filipina, and we are happy for that,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told a regular news conference, as a response to a question on what the award meant for the government. “Of course, there are indeed individuals feeling Maria Ressa still has to wipe her name before the courts,” he said in the first comment on the award from Duterte’s camp on Friday.
The firebrand leader describing Rappler, launched in 2012, as a “fake news outlet” and a tool of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, that Ressa has gone as nonsense.
The Prize is hailing by many in the Philippines, saying it is a rebuke on Duterte, a frequent critic of Rappler.
It was the first Nobel Peace Prize for the Philippines and the first for journalists since the German Carl von Ossietzky won it in the year 1935. The Kremlin well-wished Muratov on Friday, describing the investigative journalist as talented and brave.
On Monday, she replied to the questions asked that the message would be to Duterte; Ressa has been urging him not to pursue a divide and conquer approach.
“I beg you, unite this nation. Don’t tear us apart,” she said in an interview with news channel ANC.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
By late 202, the alarm bells were just starting to ring. Researchers discovered that Russian spies had months earlier burrowed deep into the networks of several U.S. federal networks. The spies, working for Russia’s foreign intelligence service, had first targeted SolarWinds, an IT company whose software helps to remotely manage the networks of thousands of businesses, Fortune 500 organizations and federal government agencies.
