September 15, 2010

The impeachment case of the Ombudsman took centerstage and Jueteng still gets ample the space while the hostage incident becomes less and less of a news, in the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The main story (Swift SC mercy for Merci. Lawmakers to defy high tribunal order) seems to be opening the door to the idea that the Supreme Court, beholden to former President Arroyo, is so much in a hurry to save Ombudsman Gutierrez. SC -1. Ombudsman -1. Arroyo -1.

The other news in the Front Page today:

Reversal of roles: Media execs grilled in Senate hearing - quite a balanced report on the senate hearings with mass media executives.

‘Jueteng’ in North, ‘swertres’ in South - reports that there is Jueteng all over, in cities and provinces.

Verzosa didn’t heed order to stop ‘jueteng’ - a report from an undisclosed source that Pres. Aquino and Sec. Robredo are actually doing something about Jueteng. Aquino +1. Robredo +1.

Cops sound alarm on ‘Dancing Bandit’ - a snatching incident and warning report.

MARCHING ORDERS Aquino to Bacalzo: Walk the straight path - a report on President Aquino giving good advise to the incoming PNP chief. Aquino +1.

Priests getting ‘jueteng’ money, says Cruz - a report that even the religious seems to be receiving Jueteng Payola, diluting the President's culpability.

Medical nightmare: Superbugs - a report on newly identified drug resistant bacteria.

The scores today gave hints on good versus evil:
Aquino: 2
Robredo: 1
SC: -1
Ombudsman: -1
Arroyo: -1
