[WATCH] 9/11: The Philippine connection
Look back to the seeds of terror in Manila that came to fruition in 9/11. The Bojinka plot was uncovered through the investigative reporting of Rappler CEO and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa.

Incredible to work with this panel: 40 scientists and experts from 37 countries, working under a deadline, working for humanity. There were hair-pulling moments of frustration - finding a compromise, drawing red lines, really listening to each other. Great lesson in humility and respect :)
