November 30, 2010

The Korea situation again took the centerstage in the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today, amidst a photo of a rally against "contractualization" timed with the commemoration of the birth of a national hero, Andres Bonifacio.



The headline (S. Korea vows retaliation. Now is time to act, not talk–Seoul) is a collation of reports from the AP and Reuters on what is happening in the North and South Koreas.

Other news today:

13 names added on heroes wall - a report on new heroes.

Supremo’s prose reveals brave patriot - a report on Bonifacio whom the Filipinos actually knew little about.

Why celebrate Bonifacio Day? - another report the national hero whose birth is celebrated today.

Studies find Philippines a disaster waiting to happen - a report on climate change, that gave space to President Aquino's pro-environment pronouncements, but reminded the readers of a bit of a recent assesment by a consultancy group on the administration's lack of preparation for disaster. Aquino +1.

TELLING THE FILIPINO STORY TO THE WORLD. Both sides now: Senate’s ‘Lazarus,’ ‘Demi Moore’ - a retelling of old Inquirer reports featuring Juan Ponce Enrile and Mirriam Defensor Santiago.
