August 5, 2010

The front page of the Inquirer today features a photo of a beaming President showing his first paycheck as the top employee of the country. The photo in itself obviously gives positive reference to Pres. Aquino and warrants a score. Aquino +1.



Meanwhile, the main headline today is a surprise news on the Hacienda Luisita (BREAKTHROUGH IN LUISITA Farmers now have option to get land, keep stocks). It is an advanced report on some developments, apparently from an undisclosed source, on the Hacienda, framed positively for the Cojuangco family. Aquino +1.

The other news in the Front Page today are as follows:

‘WASTE OF TIME’ PAL officials, pilots meet doesn’t take off - is a report on more problems besetting the Philippine Flag Carrier.

Aquino voids midnight appointments but not Corona’s - a report about Ms. Arroyo's supposed midnight appointments. Arroyo -1.

‘Walking time bomb’ now sits in House - a story about a suspected wife murderer who was sick and now congressman.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO... Cherry Hills 11 years later: Still no justice - is the unresolved story of a landslide tragedy 11 years ago.

‘Captain Ball’ tagged in ‘Garci’ fraud - a one-sided report continuing the Hello Garci scandal. Arroyo -1.

Genuinos accused of using donated rice for elections - more reports on alleged anomalies that happened in PAGCOR during President Arroyo's term, but did not involve the former President directly.

PIA overshot budget by 55% to glorify Arroyo—COA report - a one sided report on the supposed excessive expenses incurred by the Arroyo government on advertisements. Arroyo -1.

The scores today:
Aquino: 2
Arroyo: -3

Reading the Inquirer today, one would have the feeling we are very lucky to have a very good President now and lucky to have done away with a very bad President before.
