August 23, 2010

A news about Senator Lacson's case took the main headline of the front page of the Philippine Daily Inquirer today.



The main headline (Senate custody for Lacson pushed. Ping’s son seeks case reinvestigation) gave Sen. Lacson's side of the story exclusively. Lacson +1.

The other news today:

Enrile urges Aquino to give up intel funds - the Inquirer gave good space for Sen. Enrile opinion today, although unclear why so. Enrile +1.

CHR gets more torture reports - a report about the CHR confirming there are torture cases in the PNP and jumps to conclude it seems to be the norm. PNP -1.

Public school students barely passing Filipino - a somewhat confusing report on the grades of Public School students.

Analysis. New gov’t peace panel must learn from failed MOA - An analysis on the possibility of amending the constitution in connection to the Mindanao peace situation, that took potshots at a statement by a member of a government negotiating panel. Although in the end the piece cautioned a drop in political capital for the President, it hugely shielded the President from a supposed faux pas. Our monitor thus cannot pinpoint if the analysis itself is for or against the President.

FAMILY PLANNING. India gov’t pays couples to wait - a report from the New York Times, on India's population control measure.

Moustache saves accused in Cainta massacre case - a report on an injustice corrected after more than 10 years.

Bontoc women patrol crime-burdened towns - a report on a unique crime prevention activity in Bontoc.

The scores today:
Lacson: 1
Enrile: 1
PNP: -1
