July 12, 2010

A continuation of a new saga, involving the new DILG Secretary, to stop illegal gambling in the grassroots, took the Inquirer Front Page main headline today.


Here is a welcome report on the first few acts and statements coming from the new DILG chief (STL-jueteng link probed. Robredo asks PCSO for help) after being appointed by President Arroyo. This comes positive for the new secretary but not necessarily to President Aquino. Robredo +1.

Solons find Gutierrez tough to impeach - a report that gets Ombudsman Gutierrez negatively treated because of her connections with the former President. Although the main subject of the negative treatment is the Ombudsman, the real target is of course Arroyo. Arroyo -1.

VIGILANTE KILLINGS. Statistics not enough to punish Davao City cops - reports about the failure of the Ombudsman to prosecute but is not necessarily negative to the Ombudsman.

Sotto: Customs chief guilty of ‘mortal sin’ - an interview with a Senator (Sotto) on his opinions about the new Customs Chief, the report did not say why Sotto is important enough to be asked for opinion. The news is positive to Sotto and negative to the new customs chief, which both we do not monitor.

The workbooks that need more work - a report on school workbooks in Lipa City that are full of errors but whose implementation were given awards, showing how incompetence is given a pass at the expense of our children's education.

Analysis. Fluid battle for Senate presidency - an analysis by an Aquino campaign sympathizer, Mr. Amado Doronila about the situation in the Senate that are actually analyzed many times over. Doronila simply gave the same analysis with the background of a spin on Aquino's landslide mandate. Aquino +1.

He sent his last letter to the editor–his obit - a report about an avid letter writer on his last letter to the Inquirer.

Parakeet teams up with Paul - a story about creatures that predict the outcome of the World Cup, even without them knowing what they are actually doing.

The scores today:
Aquino: 1
Robredo: 1
Arroyo: -1
