In a rare Independence Day offer, Rappler+ Annual memberships drop from P3,500 to just P1,200, opening access to exclusive reporting, events, and a community that believes facts matter

A free press is one of the strongest foundations of a working democracy. 

At Rappler, we believe Filipinos deserve journalism that is independent, free from political pressure and profit-driven agendas, and fear. But in an age of disinformation, rapidly evolving technologies, and algorithms that reward outrage over truth, keeping independent journalism alive has never been more urgent.

That is why communities matter—human communities, built beyond the algorithm.

This Independence Day, we invite you to become part of one.

To celebrate Independence Day, Rappler is offering its Rappler+ Annual membership for only P1,200 (from P3,500), a special Independence Day rate available from June 12 to June 14, 2026, only. A Rappler+ Annual membership gives you:

• Full access to exclusive content, newsletters, and reports
• Invitations to members-only briefings and Rappler events
• Access to an exclusive Rappler+ community chat room on the Rappler app
• An ad-free reading experience
• Invitations to quarterly Rappler+ town halls
• Live Jam Access Pass
• 10% off ticketed Rappler events such as the annual Social Good Summit
• 10% off one RappLearn workshop per year
• 10% off Rappler merchandise purchased through Shopee

More than a membership, Rappler+ is a community of people who believe independent journalism is worth protecting, and that facts still matter.

This Independence Day, choose clarity.

Support journalism that keeps both the country and press independent.
