The headline (Brillantes faces storm. Conflict of interest in poll cases cited) is a collection of comments on the new COMELEC Chairman, by the paper's favorite sources senator-pundits. The paper included statements from the President and from the new chairman himself but we do not count as positive or negative as those statements are expected. Escudero +1 , Pangilinan +1, Recto +1 and Cayetano +1..
The other news:
‘Strange weather’ –PAGASA - a report on PAG-ASA mostly from their own comments, including their surprise (surprised?) that weather is changing by the hour. Our monitor counted it for the agency not just for the exposure, but also for their defense to their inability to make more accurate and timely forecasts. PAG-ASA +1.
Now, it’s Palawan being hit by floods - more reports on floods everywhere in Visayas and Southern Luzon.
Lozano son found dead in Pampanga - the police prompted by the President to do their jobs merits a score in our monitor for both the police force and their leader. Aquino +1. PNP +1.
Bishops on Roxas: Troubleshooter, no; Cabinet post, yes - another report of a collection of comments on the role of Sen. Roxas in the Aquino government, giving him much exposure. The report did not give much support to the President's pronouncement to make him a "troubleshooter" whatever that means. The report also gave much weight to the opinion of two bishops for unknown reasons except that perhaps the bishops has the same opinion as the Inquirer editors. Roxas +1. Aquino -1. Catholic Church +1.
Fil-Ams make their presence felt at Golden Globe Awards - a report on the winners in a US entertainment award.
Ex-health chiefs huff, puff vs cigarette firms - a report on a DOH order that hopes to limit the sale of tobacco and cigarettes in the country, where the proponents get the involvement of the SC much like as a threat. The report failed to report the issues used by the manufacturers against the order, though, to make a more intelligent understanding of the debate. SC -1.
The scores:
Roxas: 1
Escudero: 1
Pangilinan: 1
Recto: 1
Cayetano: 1
PAG-ASA: 1
PNP: 1
Catholic Church: 1
Aquino: 1 -1: 0
SC: -1
