April 29, 2011

A complete reversal of yesterday's headline made it to the center of the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.



The headline (VFA allows US presence. But DFA adds revival of US bases ‘not possible’) is a he-says-she-says report that is generally a negative view on the possibility of return of the US Bases in the Philippines, although there seems to be no such possibility.

The other front page news:

Sweetheart deal alleged in Cojuangco’s Clark move - a question is raised by the paper through unnamed sources on the propriety of an airport-airline deal. Aquino -1.

Plunder raps to include labor secretary - is a repeat of previous days' news report on the same matter but this time implicating even the present DOLE Secretary. Chavez +1. Arroyo -1.

School turns ex-OFWs’ wounds into wisdom - an OFW featured in a front page news report, giving some people a chance to air their statements.

To this ‘yaya,’ prince will always be ‘my boy’ - a report on one of the more prominent example of a successful OFW that served British Royalties.

What stiff upper lip? Nah, it’s lower lip wobble - a compilation of side reports on the upcoming Royal wedding.

Aquino wishes royals media break - looks like the President's spokesman adlibbing on what might the President want to say. Aquino +1.

The scores:
Chavez: 1
Aquino: 1 -1 =0
Arroyo: -1
