The main headline (VP CoCs may delay count. Veep race issues seen as canvass starts) is a report on opinion of different personalities involved in the canvass of votes. Although the gist of the story does not include and reference to the possibility of No Proclamation, the headline itself is somewhat pushing that idea. Perhaps the headline is meant to sell more at the stands. I did not see anyone directly benefited by the news, except, in a way, those who won the elections.
Other front page news today are as follows:
Automated polls spawn automatic protests - is basically a space given to former COMELEC chairman Christian Monsod and did not favor or put into negative any of the national figures, not even the COMELEC itself.
WHINERS AND LOSERS. Locsin: Complainants serve public - is a report on more allegations of poll fraud that are devoid of proof (and even logic). The loser here is the entire country where other people can look at us as fools, thanks to the Philippines brand of journalism where controversy is preferred over facts.
Revillame says sorry, wants out but can’t - is all about the TV gameshow host Willie Revillame's relationship with his own TV network. There is no reference to any national figures, while Revillame himself is given more than positive treatment (as in, the news reported that he sticks to his word but can't, because of a contract).
‘Whiners who cry fraud deserve to lose’ - here is more discussion on election fraud, a further waste of time. I did not see anyone benefiting from the report though.
Liar! Liar! Comelec exec loses cool, kicks chairs - is a he-says-she-says account of what happened during a COMELEC meeting with supposed whistle blowers on the discontinued ballot secrecy folder contract. I think the COMELEC is put in a bad light with this news, giving prominence on the unproven irregularities.
SC legitimized no digital signature, says lawyer - is a part of a continuing report on the defects of the automated election where the whole country loses. I did not see anyone to have benefited from the news report.
Auctioneers here to sell: Imelda gems not for sale - is a story on Imelda's jewels and is somewhat negative to the PCGG. Of course, any talk on her jewels will make a negative reminder of her excesses during their time in Malacanang. Imelda Marcos -1.
Scores: Imelda: -1
Amazing to note that the newspaper has not so much given a negative or positive treatment to anyone these days.
