The Inquirer main headline is shouting "Betrayal" today.
Although we still do not know what is it in the Freedom of Information Bill that make it so important Betrayal in the House. No quorum kills freedom of info bill, we are being led to believe that the Lower House did not do its job by ignoring to ratify it. Of course the bill seems logical good and easy to agree to, I am sure no ordinary Juan has ever read its contents. As usually the case, Pinoys are made to root for something they do not understand, but not root enough to do some action (because of lack of deep understanding). I guess this news gave negative treatment to Nograles' House of Representatives. House of REpresentatives -1.
Null votes out, proclamation next week - this is a rehash of yesterday's news, but this time as if Roxas has been again shut out (not again as this is 2 days old news). The news gave somewhat positive treatment to Aquino (with also a rehash of the Estrada interview) but I cannot say the same for Roxas. Aquino +1.
Enrile: Bangit bypassed, must step down - is a he-says-she-says account featuring different opinions on Bangit' appointment and did not benefit nor disfavor the subject. As usual, the Inquirer did not close the gap to inform the readers what is in the law.
Binay camp claims .7-M votes in 5 CoCs - although the Inquirer can verify on its own what Binay's camp is saying, the paper did not do so. It just gave Binay free space. Binay +1.
Filipino films live fireball on Jupiter - did not favor any political figures.
Tarik no threat to Lapu-Lapu but UP prof is not amused - after trying to make a senseless rivalry between "heroes", the Inquirer today continued a telenovela-like coverage of a historical information. If the treatment aroused the people's interest in history, I would have laud the Inquirer for the effort. However, to me the treatment furthers the the dumbing down of the people by putting the people in on a shallow ride.
7 of 10 Metro folk favor gun ban extension - is a coverage that may put the incoming President in a bad light as Aquino is reported to have been a shooting enthusiast, if it is true, at least. But we cannot make that judgment yet.
The following news I did not find the online versions, but I conclude did not refer to any local figure:
To burn more fat, skip meals before workout
Irritable Kan, foe of status quo, is new Japan PM
The scores today:
Aquino: 1
Binay: 1
The House of Representatives: -1
