August 3, 2010

The problems rocking the Philippine Airlines took centerstage on the Philippine Daily Inquirer today.


The main headline reports the mass resignation of pilots at PAL (PAL cancels more flights. Emergency meeting at Palace ends in deadlock) and the consequences that it brought. Although the Palace is calling in the parties to resolve the issue, there were no hints of positive or negative treatment in the report, except for PAL who was not given space to air their side on the Pilot's complaints.

The other news reports in the Inquirer Front Page today:

Arroyo camp to challenge truth commission in SC - Arroyo depicted as playing a cat and mouse game with (translation: avoiding) the mass media, possibly to show proof of her guilt. Arroyo -1.

Young leader of car theft gang captured/killed - an unfinished story of the encounter between the police and a "Good Looking" car theft, where the coverage has left many questions unanswered.

Magsaysay Awards: RP couple surprised, humbled - a story of Magsaysay Awards winners, including the RP science educator-couple.

DPWH chief: Some people out to malign me
- the DPWH defends itself from accusations almost exclusively in this report, which effect our monitor cannot determine.

At palace of House, GMA under heavy fire - - a very bad previous president as described by statements coming from Cong. Bello. Arroyo -1.

Magic number for sleep is 7 hours, study finds - An AFP report on the relationship of length of sleep and heart disease.

The score today:
Arroyo: -2

It looks like business as usual in the Inquirer Front Page.
