June 2, 2010

Today, and after about 2 years, the ZTE NBN deal is again on the headlines.


While the headline talks of clearing Arroyo Arroyo cleared again in broadband deal. ‘No proof of gov’t conspiracy,’ say probers the news report, reminding us of some of the detail of the ZTE controversy surely bodes negative for the President. Arroyo -1.

The other front page news are as follows:

Aquino takes 6-day break to recharge - is a news report from Aquino's point of view as to why he needed a break. The reporter, Mr. Gil Cabacungan Jr. whom we remember as who lavishly praised Aquino in his previous reports during the campaign, seems to have forgotten though that his subject has just been recently in Manila after some rest in Tarlac. Aquino +1.

Mikey Arroyo, Angie Reyes claims on House seats put on hold - is a news report about Partylists who have pending cases questioning their qualifications and/or of their nominees, but zeroing on the President's son most of the time. Arroyo -1.

Congress tally speeds up; Aquino, Binay lead in count - is a retelling of the news we already know, the saga happening in the congress count and the supposed numbers counted so far. No particular candidates or personalities benefit from this news.

Arroyo son heckled, jeered in cyberspace - is a bashfest for the Presdiential son and naturally negative to the President. Arroyo -1.

The following news in the front page has not benefited anyone in our monitor.

Coast Guard expects to refloat MV Princess by June 15

Gov’t urged to match pay hike to living wage

Al-Qaida: No. 3 official killed with family

The scores today:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -3

Obviously, Sen. Aquino has recovered and Arroyo remained to be the whipping girl in the Inquirer's front page.
