June 14, 2010

A tragedy involving Iranian nationals is the center of the news today.


The sad fate of a group of a leisure holiday travelers that turned into a tragedy (Cebu bus crash kills 20, mostly Iranians. 10 others in critical condition) is the center of the news today, an unwelcome respite to politics, but a respite nonetheless.

More RP nurses going to Britain - seems like an advertisement to get Filipino nurses applying to UK for jobs.

Next AFP chief must be senior general–Biazon - continues the saga of the choice for the next AFP chief, an opinion piece of Biazon masquerading as an interview. I did not find any negative or positive undertones in the news itself.

P1B offered for mansion on Arlegui - is a continuation of the search for the perfect place for the incoming President to stay during his term. Although the topic is petty, the Inquirer has treated it as if it is a matter of national concern rather than just a waste of time.

Analysis. Aquino lays down rules as Arroyo fades into infamy - a piece of commentary that only an Aquino fan and an Arroyo hater could make. Aquino +1. Arroyo -1.

Museum for 1st RP flag gets face-lift - a news piece about Aguinaldo and perhaps featured because of the anniversary of our declaration of independence.

Adulthood no longer begins at 21 - The electronic version of this news cannot be found on the Inquirer website.

The scores today:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -1

Still, the Inquirer front page continues its good treatment of Aquino and the proverbial whip for Arroyo.
