The main headline gave space to opponents of President Arroyo (or perhaps those who try to get publicity out of opposing the President), blocking the nomination of his son as representative of a winning party list (Mikey Arroyo leads 35 party-list solons. 28 groups get seats in House). Arroyo -1.
Other news in today's front page are as follows:
Gen. Lim freed, goes straight to Times St. - although, in this report, there is reference to Lim going to Time St. and having ran for senator (and lost) under Aquino's banner, there were no favor given to the presumptive President-elect.
Tale of 2 flash cards: CDO authentic; Susano no-show - this news continues the saga of election fraud, essentially saying what we knew all along, that fraud cannot be committed without leaving a trail. No one favored by this piece of news except SMARTMATIC. SMARTMATIC +1.
Little president to watch Aquino’s back - is basically a thumbs up to Paquito "Jojo" Ochoa Jr., presently QC mayor's office administrator, and eyed to be Executive Secretary to the presumed incoming administration. The news effectively gave good coverage for the incoming administration. Aquino +1.
Aquino vows closure to human rights killings - While this news report is positive to Aquino, it is at the same time negative to Arroyo, congratulating the former for the EU representatives' acceptance while blaming the latter for human rights validation. Aquino +1. Arroyo -1.
Smartmatic bombarded with same old questions - still on the same topic of electoral fraud, this news does not benefit anyone.
Palace readies controversial Arlegui house for Aquino - takes another look at Aquino's potential residence during his would-be Presidential tenure. Although the Inquirer in the past took notice of the petty situation besetting Aquino, the paper did not too much put him to task.
No more ‘comrades’ for Beijing bus drivers - - is a look at some minor changes in Beijing.
The scores today:
Aquino: 2
Smartmatic: 1
Arroyo: -2
From a negative mark the past few days, Aquino recovered today and was given quite a positive treatment in the Inquirer Front Page. Meanwhile, Arroyo still gets the whip.
