February 26, 2011

Viva People Power is the main theme of the Philippine Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The headline (People Power lives on. Longings of soldiers, civilians unite at Edsa) features the statement of President Aquino and statements by everyone against the former President. Even another former President convicted of plunder gets to say nasty things about Arroyo. Aquino +1. Arroyo -1.

The other Front Page news reports:

‘We vied for honor to lead attack on Palace’ - is Gen. Almonte's account of the brewing coup against Marcos in 1986.

Filipino nurse texted, called home while under rubble - the gripping sad stories of young Filipinos trapped in a building in New Zealand.

‘Sin statue looks more like Ninoy’ - a feature on the former Archibishop of Manila whose unveiled statue does not look a bit like himself. The report also include part of a speech by President Aquino and admonition by Manila's Mayor to support the President. Catholic Church +1. Aquino +1.

Filipinos to leave Libya by land, sea, air - the DFA given wide space as to what they are doing to rescue Filipinos trapped in Libya, with VP Binay figuring as one of those on a mission to do just that. DFA +1. Binay +1.

Best defense money can buy for Singson - looks like an independent legal analysis of Cong. Singson's sentence in HK for drug trafficking.

Deadly ‘My Way’ out from karaoke playlists - a feature on one of Asia's favorite pastime.

The scores:
Aquino: 2
Binay: 1
DFA: 1
Catholic Church: 1
Arroyo: -1
