October 30, 2010

A three year old blast, a photo of preparations in a cemetery in Davao and a photo of the President on headphones, probably listening to translations, took the center-stage in the Philippine Daily Inquirer front page today.


The headline today (Mall blast probed again. Was it gas or bomb that wrecked Glorietta 2?) is a repeat of the report on the allegation that the blast that took place three years ago in Glorietta is caused by a bomb, but this time adding that the DOJ is weighing in on it. Of course, this means bad for the former administration who is inferred to have made the cover-up, and in a way to PNP chief David, who is also involved in the investigation. Arroyo -1. David -1.

The other front page news today:

De Lima: Bar explosion well planned - is a report on the comments of Sec. De Lima on the investigations on the Bar Exams grenade blast, confident that they have the right suspect, but not explaining why there is no warrant of arrest issued on anybody nor saying what their witnesses knew. The report also gave VP Binay's side on his supposed defense of the suspect. De Lima +1. Binay +1.

Lotto winner stuck to her numbers for 10 years - is a compilation of stories on winning the lotto.

P-Noy urges Asean: Speak with one voice - is a report on the position the President is taking on the Spratlys issue, which is similar to the US position. The news that came exclusively from the administration side of course turned out positive for them. Aquino +1.

UP backs its law faculty vs SC on plagiarism - a report of more people backing the UP faculty against the SC. SC -1.

‘Radyo Inquirer’ is new home for OFW champions - a promotional report of a radio program in the paper's own radio station. Inquirer +1.

Horror books pleasure read for brave souls - a news feature on horror books and their target market.

Aquino speechwriter tweets ‘wine sucks,’ twits netizens - a report on a gaffe of twitter entries by a communications staff in the President's delegation in Vietnam.

The scores:
Aquino: 1
Inquirer: 1
De Lima: 1
Binay: 1
Inquirer: 1
David: -1
SC: -1
Arroyo: -1
