June 19, 2010

In a country where people are dying of poverty, the biggest news the most read newspaper came up with on the birthday of its national hero, is as to who will finally administer the oath of office to the incoming President.


No, the main news was not referring to the blindfolded lady representing justice, but the lone dissenter in the Supreme Court decision on Chief Justice appointment by Arroyo (Lady justice to administer Aquino oath : ‘The honor is mine,’ says Morales). The news also talked about the preparations for the said oath-taking ceremonies mentioning that the Aquino sisters and the Binay children are all involved in the same. Obviously, the event is being transformed into a family affair and signaling perhaps six years of the same family members on the headlines.

Arroyo’s ‘last days’: Frenzy of inaugurals in Pampanga - the last portion of this news took a dig at Arroyo for being in Pampanga too much towards the end of her term. Arroyo -1.

De Castro, 4 others face graft raps for ‘Smokey’ - a news report that does not have the details of what it is trying to report, except that the VP is charged with graft. De Castro -1.

Aquino tells poll volunteers: My parents will haunt you if...
-is a kind of coverage that is better left to smaller features in gossip magazines.

Suu Kyi marks birthday; world remembers - a report on street actions by supporters of the Burmese previously detained but now only isolated leader, including a must-do call for the incoming President.

Kris Aquino: We’re sensitive to Roxas’ feelings - possibly to explain why President-elect Aquino is somewhat cold to Binay, this report reveals how we should brace ourselves from now on more impertinent news about Kris Aquino. Aquino +1.

There are other news in the front page today but seems does not have anything to do with the country.

The score today:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -1
De Castro: -1
