October 23, 2010

Now it is the SC at the losing edge versus the UP professors, that our attention is drawn to by the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page.


The main headline (High tribunal vs UP Law. ‘Overwhelming’ support for profs in plagiarism case) is mostly a news report of comments by various people who says that the SC is wrong, highlighting the dissenting opinion in their ruling on the plagiarism case against one of its own Associate Justice. Amazingly, the report focuses on how the law professors who are presumably lawyers themselves receive overwhelming support in terms of legal services as if they need them. SC -1.

The other news today:

Ex-con runs amok in school, kills 3 - an amok that was released from jail through Presidential clemency but which report did not focus on who gave the release rendering it politically neutral.

Pagasa: New storm due today but will most likely spare RP - a report on the weather now rightfully given space in the front page. The report recalled typhoon Juan with updates on damage to crops and the President's resoluteness in putting some people in coastal areas in Isabela to safer grounds. Although the report updates the casualty to 26 and 36 (Red Cross data), it did not point out that the President spoke too soon on having little casualties. Aquino +1.

PNP links MILF to bus blast; 2 other angles eyed - an update on the North Cotabato bus bombing focusing on the angles at which police is looking at the crime. There was no mention whether police is conducting a proper investigation specially on forensics which past events prove is a major delinquency in the country's crime fighting capability.

Good barangay gov’t class inspires new politics - a report on a training program given by former DILG Sec., author of DILG code and former Senator Aquilino Pimentel to barangay leaders.

Higher SLEx toll rates may take effect next week - a comprehensive report on the expected SLEX toll increase.

5,000 panic over fake alert on dam spill - a report on a supposed demolition job on NDRRMC by sending fake text messages of oncoming disasters. NDRRMC - 1.

The scores:
Aquino: 1
NDRMMC: 1
SC: -1
