MOSVELDTT served as the Official Legal Partner of Rappler’s Social Good Summit 2025: Make Your Move, held at Lanson Place Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The summit convened global leaders, advocates, and changemakers to tackle urgent issues in democracy, technology, and civic resilience.
“We’ve been working with Rappler and its journalists for years. Being SGS 2025’s legal partner is a continuation of this commitment to stand alongside Rappler in advancing the rule of law and safeguarding press freedom,” said Maria Jerzy Torres, co-Managing Partner of MOSVELDTT Law.
The event featured Amal Clooney, international human rights lawyer, who unveiled a Philippine initiative for legal aid to empower women and journalists. She emphasized the transformative role of artificial intelligence in expanding access to justice, underscoring the need for pro bono legal support for journalists facing criminal charges.
George Clooney, award-winning actor and director, joined Rappler CEO Maria Ressa in a candid conversation on resilience and press freedom. “Get used to failing,” Clooney remarked, urging participants to persist despite setbacks and to continue pushing for progress.
Other distinguished speakers included Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s digital minister; Oleksandra Matviichuk, Nobel Peace Prize laureate; Senator Risa Hontiveros; investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr; author Patricia Evangelista; filmmaker Antoinette Jadaone; and war correspondent Nataliya Gumenyuk.
“The Social Good Summit reflects our shared belief that justice, truth, and resilience are collective responsibilities—and that legal frameworks must remain at the heart of civic empowerment,” Torres added.
