September 27, 2010

The Jueteng gambling Lord's money laundering scheme took centerstage in the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page today.



The main headline is a confusing report on an interview with a supposed lawyer of a supposed dead gambking lord who supposedly know how money is cleaned through various supposedly International transactions (‘Jueteng’ lords clean money in Singapore. Buying artworks, luxury cars part of laundering). Our monitor cannot conclude on the logic of the report nor could it judge as to who the news benefits.

The other Front Page news today:

Obama grants Aquino a 7-minute meet in NYC - an embarrassing report about the Philippine president trying to get American President Barack Obama cornered for a photo opportunity, spinned as if It is the best 7 minutes of any Filipino's life. The report is also a listing of the accomplishments of the President out of his first foreign trip. Aquino +1.

Analysis. Crony tells of rivalry in Marcos’ inner circle - a book review on the life of a supposed Marcos crony that started with an out of place remark on both the Aquino and Arroyo administration's Marcos-like holding of information from the public. Aquino -1. Arroyo -1.

RP flag inverted inadvertently - a report on the Philippine flag displayed the wrong way without so much a protest from the country.

Vatican probes Catholic group - an AP report on a cult-like Catholic group which the Vatican starts to look closer into.

High court OKs arraignment of AFP comptroller - a report on some belated court proceedings involving the misuse of the AFP pension fund.

Advice of new disaster council: Save your life; leave everything - a report that says everyone is better prepared for the next Ondoy-like floods.

The scores:
Aqiuno: 0
Arroyo: -1
