Even if rains are expected on the day (INAUGURAL FEVER HEATS UP: It’ll rain on Aquino’s day but who cares?), it was said that there is no stopping the street party after the inaugural. No, the incoming President is not expected to give the highlights of his would-be administration, no he is not expected to declare his support for the FOI Bill nor will he be expected to outline his other agenda. Instead he will be expected to sing, perhaps even rap in a street party by and for his supporters. Obviously, others will see this as gloating for winning the last elections but it seems the Inquirer thought it is appropriately normal. Aquino +1.
The other news today:
Times folk help watch house of 2 presidents - reports that it is perfectly okay for the new President to stay in his home in Times street. Aquino +1.
Eagle-eyed senator who saw tomorrow is 96 - a feature about former senator Benitez' achievements, which is a long delayed recognition.
Meloto turns down Aquino offer to be housing czar - looks like a promotional piece about GK and GK's Meloto and a bit about outgoing VP De Castro. DeCastro +1.
Beat it! Cebu inmates air gripes thru MJ moves - a news report which is perhaps a lesson on how to rehabilitate prison inmates.
Breaking the mold, tough soldier salutes gay son’s show - a feature on a father's acceptance of a son.
The scores:
Aquino: 2
De Castro: 1
Still in honeymoon with Aquino, the Inquirer gave Arroyo a breather today.
