June 16, 2010

At last recognizing that the President Arroyo's term is indeed ending, the Inquirer front page today feature a news coming from the First Gentleman.


The main headline today (First Gentleman: We have left Palace. Only 17 days to go before Arroyo term ends) is somewhat a positive report on the First Gentleman, getting his point of view, and hence, uncharacteristically positive to Arroyo. Arroyo +1.

Miss Universe 2008 Smartmatic’s hottest flash card - is a PR move from Smartmatic. SmartMatic +1.

Aquino eyes 2 posts for Robredo, 1 is DILG - is a news report on who may be getting government posts under the Aquino administration.

Arroyo shows care for media; radioman killed in South - although this news covered some of Arroyo's show of accomplishments, half of the news reports about another journalist being killed in Davao, making the whole report negative for the President. Arroyo -1.

Verzosa bids farewell to Ma’am - still insisting that there is rift between Arroyo and Versoza, even when the former conferred the latter with a "Legion of Honor". With a brief review of her accomplishments involving the PNP, this news is both negative and positive to the outgoing President. Arroyo +1 -1.

SC: Corona is it, with finality - is neither positive nor negative to anyone, only negative to the Filipino People for having their leaders not working in unison to each other.

Sex ed not sexed up, DepEd assures Church - should have been a discussion of the content of the teaching modules but instead focused on the opinions of different personalities, therefore not adding anything to the debate. The news though seems there is no one positively or negatively portrayed.

Aquino allies tell Palace: Stop your lecturing - a newspiece that again pathetically succeeded in dragging people in issuing statements that are not beneficial to the people. No real winners here, only the entire nation losing.

The scores:
Smartmatic: 1
Arroyo: 0

Perhaps it is a slow day today (a lull) as the Inquirer is left trying to drum up controversies, that could only waste our time, in many of their news.
