March 11, 2011

Although there is very little real news on the Ombudsman's expected impeachment, she got wide exposure in the Phil. Daily Inquirer front page today.



The headline (Senate and Palace: Gutierrez, go. ‘Spare country pain of impeachment trial’) is simply a report about statements from various people about how bad the Ombudsman is. Ombudsman -1.

The other front page news today:

‘I’ll not resign, Senate will give me fair shake’ - puts the Ombudsman on the defensive even when parts of the report is from her side. Ombudsman -1.

TRIBUNAL ON TRIAL. Corona admits splits amid impeach threats - shows the SC is being split into two by factions. SC -1.

Court junks plunder case vs Chingkoes, finance execs - the Ombudsman lost in a case involving some DoF officials in the 90s. Although the report is without opinion except that of the Sandiganbayan, it showed the failure of the Ombudsman to file the correct charges. Ombudsman -1.

Elevator jams; Aquino huffs, puffs up 24 floors - the President is shown to be a humble and religious man, while being physically fit. Aquino +1.

PDI reporter on Google’s ‘most influential’ list - a journalistic? report about one of its own reporter. PDI +1.

4 Filipinos among Forbes’ billionaires - a report as the title says.

The scores:
Aquino: 1
PDI: 1
SC: -1
Ombudsman: -3
