The main headline (Enrile heads unity Senate. Pangilinan, Villar fail to get needed 13 votes ) gave the loser from the Liberal Party on the fight for senate leadership a positive spin, given him space to say he fought a good fight but gave up for the sake of unity. It gave a positive take on the development also for President Aquino's administration. Pangilinan +1. Aquino +1.
The other news in the front page today are as follows:
Belmonte leads much bigger House coalition - a report on Cong. Belmonte securing the house' leadership via a coalition bigger than in recent memory, failing to take note though that the coalition is mostly composed of the same people in the past. Belmonte +1.
Rain brings instant flood to Metro - a report on the weather and floods around Metro Manila without, unlike in the past, giving much of any issue out of them.
Analysis. State of nat’l budget: A tour of Arroyo chamber of horrors - a so called analysis that gave much space to President Aquino's press releases, but did gave a negative take on the same subject at the end of the piece. Aquino +1 -1 =0.
Much of US cooks in endless summer - a combined New York Times and AP feature on the hot weather in the US.
Funnyman Redford White exits laughing - a report on the death of a comedian.
Arroyo flies to Hong Kong - a report about later this afternoon's SONA focusing on the fighting stance the administration is taking contrast with the seeming flight of the previous President. Aquino +1. Arroyo -1.
Militants to push demands in SONA rallies Monday - a report on how the left is receiving the SONA, although reporting from their side making them sound irrelevant.
The scores today:
Aquino: 2
Belmonte: 1
Pangilinan: 1
Arroyo: -1
