August 10, 2010

The Hacienda Luisita issue took again centerstage in the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The main headline (Bishop slams land deal. Aquino challenged: Don’t skirt CARP) is a report on the negative comments of a Bishop, Bishop Pabillo, on the supposed Luisita deal, challenging President Aquino to step in to make sure that the farmers are getting a fair share of the deal. Aquino -1.

The other front page news today:

7,302 farmers signed compromise deal, says HLI - is a report on mostly Cojuangco side of the deal, explaining that the farmers themselves want the present Stock Distribution situation instead of owning the land, all the while President Aquino shielded from the issue. Aquino +1.

Aquino: $10-B Pagcor bid ‘interesting’ - is a report on the ongoing discussions on the possible privatization of the state gambling firm.

Revillame scraps ABS-CBN contract - a continuing story on the plight of a TV host whose troubles seems to have stemmed from his endorsement of the wrong Presidential candidate.

UP profs tell justice to quit for plagiarism - is a report that pushes the charge of plagiarism against a Supreme Court Justice.

DepEd readies draft curriculum on 12-yr basic ed - a one sided report from the DepEd.

Bad news for smokers: P90-tax per pack eyed - a report on smoking and the possible increase in taxes for cigarettes.

PAL cabin crew airs strike threat over CBA - a report on CBA negotiations at the Philippine Airlines.

The scores today shows President Aquino treated from both sides on the Hacienda Luisita issue.
Aquino: 1-1 = 0
