February 1, 2011

The biggest news today as far as the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page is concerned, is the news on Cong. Singson's drug trafficking case in HongKong.



The headline (Rep. Singson pleads guilty to drugs raps. Solon faces sentencing in HK Tuesday) is a report on the guilty pleadings of Cong. Singson in HK where he admitted using illegal drugs and substances(even on a binge) due to depression. The report also include illogical statements from his father defending his guilty plea. The issue on whether Cong. Singson should resign his congress seat is also given space. Singson -1.

The other Front Page news today:

PH economy grows at fastest pace in 24 yrs - a report on a positive up-tick in the economy that did not mention that such uptick rode of the back of the unexpected increase in the first half of 2010. The report which although did not directly credit the economic policies of the Aquino administration also gave credence to it saying better economic performance is expected in 2011 because of political stability, etc.

Egypt opposition calls for 1 million on streets - a report on the protests in Egypt that may drive away the leader of 30 years there while they are at a loss as to who could replace him.

Gov’t OKs P1 hike for jeepney ride - a report on increasing transportation fares.

Rabusa says another AFP boss got P160-M ‘pabaon’ - the same news reported again with a tiny bit of new information, but still sorely lacking in details, but all surely result in the public lynching of some past Chief of Staffs. Reyes -1. AFP -1. Estrada +1.

Reyes hits back, sues Rabusa, Estrada - Reyes' side on the issue given space even if he is coming from the defensive point of view. Reyes +1. Estrada -1.

Oprah tells Charice: Don’t fall in love, yet - a feature on Charice Pempengco, possibly a PR job on her upcoming show.

The scores:
Estrada: 1 -1 =0
Reyes: 1 -1 =0
AFP: -1
Singson: -1
