September 29, 2010

The non-news about the President's still unclear stand on population again took the main headline spot today in the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page.



The headline (Aquino blinks, seeks talks with Church. Catholic groups plan protests backed by bishops) basically continues yesterday's news or lack of it, today. This seems like a kind of another he say she say report being forced upon us for discussion but actually there is nothing much that has changed in everyone's position. Our monitor cannot figure as to who this report favors.

The other news in the front page today:

Aquino brings home the bacon: $2.4B - a repeat of yesterday's good news for President Aquino. Aquino +1.

House defies SC over Gutierrez impeachment - a report on a contest between the SC and the House, is actually a dig on the Ombudsman and former President Arroyo. Ombudsman -1. Arroyo -1.

PhilHealth doubles premiums - a report that says President Aquino does not want his face shown on PhilHealth cards. This also a report that shows how the national government is helping the poor who cannot afford healthcare. Of course, that help is at the expense of the paying members of Philhealth. Aquino +1.

Joker Arroyo: Must the Filipinos be last to know? - a report which looked like an OpEd dig on the President from a Senator . Aquino -1.

FRAT WAR? 3 carried out grenade attack, say police - a report on a recent grenade blast in Manila.

Aquino to DoJ: Review ‘Morong 43’ case - the President took heed for human rights. Aquino +1.

Aquino forced to quit smoking–for 26 hrs - a report on a what seems like a smoking hot President which reminds us of his great accomplishments from his first foreign trip. Aquino +1.

The scores:
Aquino: 3
Arroyo: -1
Ombudsman: -1
