March 21, 2011

The new war between Libya and Western Allies, backed by the Arab League, took the center-stage of the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The headline (Allies bomb Gadhafi forces. US, UK ships, subs fire 110 missiles) is a story on a new war front in Libya that developed after the UN Security Council voted a resolution for a "no-fly" zone.

The other front page news today are as follows:

PH tells US: We can’t openly back int’l action - is a story that show the DFA's concern for Filipinos in Libya. The story also includes a he-says-she-says report on what the Philippine government is doing in Libya, which somehow in sum gave the administration some negative treatment. Note: President Aquino's name is not mentioned in the report. DFA +1. Aquino -1.

Japan death toll may exceed 20,000 - an update on the Japanese disasters.

Palace: Senate vote vs Gutierrez not easy - a press release from the administration. Aquino +1. Ombudsman -1. Arroyo -1.

ANALYSIS. PH officials shut eyes to meltdown scenarios - is a retelling of previous reports on the danger to the Philippines by a nuclear fall out from Japan, without much of a real analysis.

This time, expect a cooler summer - a press release from PAG-ASA, the Philippines' weather bureau. PAG-ASA +1.

The scores:
DFA: 1
PAG-ASA: 1
Aquino: 1 -1 =0
Ombudsman: -1
Arroyo: -1
