The news that made it to the headlines though is still somehow related (Arroyo parades triumphs during reign) but from a point of view that Arroyo has used the event to parade her "triumphs". The report gave due space to Arroyo's supposed legacy. The same also gave a whole lot of space to say the legacy where immaterial. Arroyo -1.
Dead-set mom finds suspect in 2 sons’ murder, not authorities - is a story about the search for a murder suspect and did not touch on national issues.
Secrets locked in Alberto house about Rizal’s mother - is a revelation that Rizal's mother must have been an illegitimate child, according to Historical Institute Chair Ambeth Ocampo.
Aquino’s cousins learn lessons of life in sorties - is about the Aquino campaign, from the point of view of his nephews in the Aquino side and which gave the President-elect good treatment. Aquino +1.
PDI reporter wins Asia media prize for Legacy series - a congratulatory piece on their own reporter. It also gave a piece of information about mass media in the Philippines from the point of view of Maritess Vitug.
Too many Palace cooks may be out of work, spoil broth - reports that there are 1,000 cooks, waiters and housekeeping staffs in Malacanang, surely proving that many if not all of them would have to go in a simpler Aquino presidency - even when the news itself is actually about the transition. Arroyo -1.
The scores:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -2
