The Inquirer Front Page main headline today (Bangit set to retire early : ‘Emperor’ begins bidding farewell to troops) is a rehash of old news about Bangit's tentative retirement. This news has been going on for days, even weeks now and perhaps a result of lack of new news on the goings-on in the country today. We cannot give so much judgement as to who this news gave any benefit today.The other news in the front page today are as follows:
PNP chief to give Arroyo ‘exit briefing’- is a nother waste of time of a news, a rehash of old news which has been ringing our ears over and over again. Again, our monitor would not give judgement as to who benefits this kind of news.
Aquino inaugural at Quirino, party in QC - if our country is a more advanced country, people would have cringed at the thought that part of the first day of our new President will be devoted to a street party with celebrities who helped him win the elections. The mass media would have also admonished the President for very obvious slants again older women. But since we are in the Philippines, this news even manages to have a positive impact for Aquino as it is coming from his point of view. Aquino +1.
BACK TO SCHOOL. Sex education now a reality - is about the state of educational system in the country, and also of sex education to be taught in schools. The news had some word coming from the teacher's association, castigating the present administration for allegedly lowering the education budget. Arroyo -1.
Belmonte gets backing of militants in House - is a press release from supposed "militant" congressmen aligning themselves with Belmonte versus a dreamed-up Arroyo scheme to be speaker of the house. I am not sure what benefit we get from these kinds of news but it is definitely making Arroyo seem like very unlikeable. Arroyo -1.
Mangroves bring life back to a deserted shore - gave space to a tree(Mangrove)-planting project in CamSur.
Bus rented by Iranians had ‘666’ plate number - is a news on a tragic event with an embarrassing take on how accidents happen in the Philippines. The title though adds insult by bringing in the idea of superstition as possible reason. I think the whole country is disadvantaged by this news.
SALN shows Aquino entering Palace ‘poorer’ than Arroyo - seems to be a question on Aquino's SALN which shows him "poorer" than the encumbent or a remark on Arroyo for having too much money and increasing the same during her incumbency. It depends to the reader as to who benefits from this news as each could read it the way they want it.
There is another news in the front page today regarding sex education which we do not see the web copy.
The scores today:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -2
Our monitor is getting used to Aqiuno receiving good treatment while Arroyo continues to get the whip in the last days of her administration.
