June 3, 2010

Now the real fight surfaces, the VP race.


As Roxas insist on null votes, how far will he insist on it? That should have been the topic of the main Philippine Daily Inquirer headline today (Roxas insists on null votes. But Binay camp says no way). Instead, the report stopped on the issue and did not pursue. The news therefore gave it to Roxas at this time. Roxas +1.

The other news today are as follows:

Congress now fussing over 1,600 extra flash cards - is still on the saga of election cheating, but shows that the newspaper, the congressmen and perhaps the entire country do not know what CF cards are. No positives or negatives to any particular person here.

Congress to Aquino: Don’t be away for long - is not about Aquino, but still on the congress count. No one is particularly benefited by the news, except perhaps Zubiri whose name is all over it. We are not counting Zubiri though.

House clears Smartmatic, eyes inside job - is again on the same saga of election canvass and unfounded questions on fraud. Nothing to count from this news.

AFP MODERNIZATION. DND chief sad; midnight shopping spree aborted - of course, when there is "midnight" in the title, we all know now what it intends to refer to. Even without President Arroyo in the news, we all knew who it refers to. Arroyo -1.

Not Lapu-Lapu? Pampanga claims 1st RP martyr - a confusing report on who is first does not benefit any of our national figures. Confusing because Lapu-lapu is not a martyr, so it is like comparing saging with kaimito!

Inconvenient truth: Gores split after 40 years - is about the marriage and separation of the Gores.

Hot flashes: Susano wants only ‘virgin PCOS’ - the title turned Susano into a typecast of a middle aged woman although the report itself did not refer to it. Susano nevertheless is given a negative treatment, but which we do not count.

The scores today:
Roxas: 1
Arroyo: -1

Still Arroyo (or her administration) gets the whip, while Roxas got some free press today.
