February 7, 2011

The baseless accusation of coddling carnappers on some high-ranking police officials again took the centerstage in the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.



The headline (We’re fall guys–Rosales. PNP officer denies link to car theft) is a continuation of yesterday's main report on the alleged car-napping syndicate coddlers in the PNP but this time more on the denials of the accused. Amazingly, even if the accusations are still without basis, the PNP leadership asked its suspected officials to answer them, perhaps trying to impart a message that the organization is free and open to inquiry this time in contrast with that of the past.

The other news report today:

DFA orders Cimatu: Skip Egypt and return home - the DFA is quick to react on supposed allegations against former AFP Chief Cimatu who is now special envoy to the middle east. The report failed to note that Gen Cimatu has already been cleared by the supposed whistle blowers when they say they are not sure if Gen. Garcia actually gave Gen. Cimatu money. Meanwhile, President Aquino has been called to action by an OFW group to remove Cimatu from office. DFA +1.

Another suspect in Ortega slay gives up, names masterminds - some developments in the journalist/anti-mining activist's murder in Palawan.

House body to ask Heidi Mendoza on $5M in UN funds - a supposed hero is again being called to action.

ANALYSIS. US, Egypt officials plan Mubarak exit - the USA looked tough in dealing with Mubarak. USA +1.

Valentine’s also for heart’s sake - the DOH Secretary given good space for his reminders in taking care of the heart. DOH +1.

Finance expert at UP’s helm - a new UP president positively portrayed.

The scores:
DFA: 1
DOH: 1
USA: 1
