Giving space to opinions coming from Sens. Arroyo and Angara (Review of Trillanes coup case draws fire. Senators hit Palace meddling in judiciary, Senate) the Inquirer gave a negative treatment to President Aquino's legal opinion on the case. Although the gaffe centers on a President saying an injustice is committed for filing a wrong case when he has not even established his credibility on giving legal opinion, and when a review of the quoted provision in the Penal Code may actually show otherwise, the report centers on the suspicion that the President is doing this to get Sen. Trillanes' vote for his bet for the Senate Presidency. It is like saying that if someone suspects something, then it is news. Aquino -1.
