June 21, 2010

Rather than treat the problem as a failure of the police authorities to prevent or, even more so, solve killings happening around the country, the focus of today's headlines is the so called "culture of impunity" of the Arroyo administration.


It is amazing how even newspapers are looking at and even using deaths of those belonging to their industry (mass media), as a political issue when the real issue should have been the breakdown of peace and order (Another journalist killed : Digos writer 3rd media fatality listed in 5 days). This news report, maybe even for the wrong reason, is negative all over to the Arroyo administration. Arroyo -1.

The other news in the front page today are as follows:

Analysis: Poor’s clamor shows in Binay, Estrada votes - an analysis by Amando Doronila which gave positive treatment mostly to Binay but also to Aquino. Binay +1. Aquino +1.

Bank service fee lifted for OFW remittances - is basically a business news that could affect bank charges on OFW's remittances.

Noynoy, in the eyes of ‘Noynoy’ - a good treatment on the real Aquino from the fake Aquino, comedian Willie Nepomuceno. Aquino +1.

Rizal descendant global social entrepreneur - a news report on a successful Filipino staying in the US, who happen to also be a descendant of our National hero.

Erroneous textbooks still rated perfect by DepEd: Why we’re left behind - part one of a series, this report is initially a one-sided assessment of the current situation on wrong textbook contents used in our public school system (there are no comments coming from the DepEd for their own defense). Needless to say, the DepEd is treated negatively in the report.

COMMENTARY: The blind leading the blind - An article from the person who originally blew the whistle on erroneous books, Mr. Antonio Calipjo Go.

BI sees 20% rise in foreign students - is an enlightening and welcome news on additional foreign students enrolled in the Philippines.

The score today:
Aquino: 2
Binay: 1
Arroyo: -1
(DepEd: -2)
