The headeline (EDSA bus bombing: 4 dead. Bomb under seat of bus driven by Maximo Peligro) is another sad report on the Philippines, a bomb blast probably by terrorists. The report gave a list of fatalities and other victims. The report also gave President Aquino who was quick to react on an issue of national urgency this time, some exposure. Aquino +1.
The other front page news today:
Killer’s gun traced to ex-governor’s aide - an update on the now sidelined murder in Palawan, which gave the DENR and DOJ Secretaries space for their statements even if those comments seems are not adding anything to the report. The report also gave quite a bit of space to some senators which our monitor let pass this time. DENR +1. De Lima +1.
Aquino fondly remembers mom on her 78th birthday - good words said to remember the mother by is actually for the son. Aquino +1.
Gerry, this one’s for you, for Palawan, for country - a feature on the murdered journalist who is also an environmentalist working for Gina Lopez of ABS-CBN foundation, who wrote the piece. ABS-CBN +1.
Robredo eyes carnap cohorts in gov’t - quite a space given to Sec. Robredo, a bit for Sec. De Lima, and some good exposure for the PNP, in a surprising spinning kind of report. Robredo +1. PNP +1. De Lima +1.
OSG told to back off on Garcia - an update on the Garcia plunder case with no real updates. Ombudsman -1.
TRANSCRIPT. Garcia inked P200-million transaction - a 2 year old transcript of a court hearing on the Garcia plunder case which is incomplete and only points to the prosecution's case but not on the defense, obviously trying to prove strong evidence against the former AFP Comptroller. Ombudsman -1.
Senators get sermon from CBCP exec on death penalty - some Senators looked lazy and stupid via this news report from a statement by a CBCP executive. Catholic Church +1.
The scores:
Aquino: 2
De Lima: 2
DENR: 1
Robredo: 1
PNP: 1
ABS-CBN: 1
Catholic Church: 1
Ombudsman: -2
