April 1, 2011

A transport strike that fizzled is in the center of the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front page today.



The headline (Transport strike fizzles in Metro Manila. But protests vs oil spikes cripple Angeles, Davao) is a collection of reports, tidbits actually, on the strikes held by Jeepney and other public transport drivers which did not affect the public in Metro Manila.

The other front page news today:

P500-M fuel subsidy OKd for jeepneys - the President aches for the transport sector that is why a fuel subsidy is in order, without giving the operational details which supposedly news reports are for. Aquino +1.

Fil-Am leader of LA gang gets 8 life terms, no parole - a report on the sentencing of Fil-Am gang leader.

LABOR EXPORTER SAYS: ‘3 executed Filipinos should not be called OFWs’ - amazingly turned out to be a report on what the government is doing to avoid future smuggling of illegal drugs. DFA +1. PNP +1.

Aquino, Lacson talk of pork barrel, ‘chicharon,’ etc. - even when the situation clearly shows how incompetent our law enforcers are, there is no such hint in this news report that gave Sen. Lacson's actions and Aquino's acceptance of him with some sense of normalcy. Aquino +1. Lacson +1.

Dangerous radiation spreads 40 km from damaged nuke plant - a report still on the nuclear crisis in Japan.

The scores:
Aquino: 2
Lacson: 1
DFA: 1
PNP: 1
