October 7, 2010

A mixture of Jueteng, the Ampatuan Massacre and birth control issues dominated the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.



The headline news (Aquino orders Puno: Stay put. I’ll not be destroyed by P-Noy critics—DILG usec) is a report that looks like a commentary piece by DILG USec Rico Puno himself, although the news report itself reminds the readers of the charges against him. Puno +1.

The other front page news today:

Release of hostage report put off again - a slightly negative take on President Aquino's dilly dallying of the release of the review of the hostage review report, but which creates anticipation to his 100-day "town hall" speech expected today. Aquino -1.

Massacre victims begged for mercy, witness cries - a report on a testimony against the Amapatuan's in the Maguindanao Massacre trial, that reminded the readers that the family of the accused is a "close ally" of the former President. Arroyo -1.

Gov’t policy clear, allots P400M for birth control - a report which did not give out any indication of a preferred position on the matter of the birth control issue, although it surely emboldens the RH bill supporters because of the insinuated support coming from the President.

Panlilio: Aquino silent on ‘jueteng’ - an interview with former governor of Pampanga, Fr. "Among" Ed Panlilio, regarding the President's seeming lack of interest in curbing the illegal numbers game. Aquino -1.

SWS: Aquino gets ‘very good’ plus 60 - a surprisingly more negative than positive take on the President's approval rating, although the title itself is positive about him. Aquino -1.

Galleon here after 6-month trip from Spain - a story on the commemoration of the galleon trade.

Bishop Soc: God called me through Bruce Lee - an apolitical feature story on the Bishop of Dagupan.

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