The headline (‘P50-M send-off gift for Reyes’. Colonel explodes bombshell in Senate) is a report on Col. Rabusa's charges against former AFP Chief, former DND Sec, former DOE Sec. Reyes. Although the charges themselves lack some verifiable details, it surely will put Sec. Reyes in hot waters. Our monitor suspends judgement as to who this latest accusations are actually eventually directed to at this time while we start to monitor the front page's treatment to Reyes. Reyes -1. Estrada +1.
The other front page news reports today:
10 killed in fall from 28th floor - a report on a major accident in a building construction site. The report gave a bit of space for the palace, the DOLE and to the office of the Mayor of Makati which we did not count. The report suspended judgement against the contractors or on the building owners who seems to be a company related to business magnate Lucio Tan.
‘Is it plea bargain or a bargain sale in Divisoria of corruption?’ - more on the same Garcia plunder case and plea bargain, this time via a hearing in the Senate with a few senators given good space, some getting more than the others. Ombudsman -1. APCayetano +1. Guingona +1.
Int’l terrorist named brains of EDSA bus blast - the administration is given a negative treatment by an unverified statement from a supposed police intelligence officer on the EDSA bus bombing. which report also gave ample space to the MILF for their self-serving statements. Aquino -1. MILF +1.
Mang Salus won’t see only daughter graduate in April - a report that says it is sad to have dead family members.
Trillanes vs Reyes: It’s payback time - More of the same story against the former AFP chief, allegations that are not yet verifiable, lacking in logical details, while this time giving good space to some more senators. Trillanes +1. Estrada +1. Reyes -1.
US judge affirms $353-M fine on Imelda, Bongbong Marcos - a report that looks like the Phil. Government is losing to the human right claimants on claims to the Marcos loot, but spinned in such a way that it is a good thing.
UST graced with 3 papal visits, Pope’s video message - more report on a university's quadricentennial giving exposure to catholic church leaders. Catholic Church +1.
The scores:
Estrada: 2
Trillanes: 1
AP Cayetano: 1
Guingona: 1
Catholic Church: 1
MILF: 1
Ombudsman: -2
Reyes: -2
