May 21, 2011

The issue on the VIP prisoners took center-stage in the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page today.


The headline (Diokno suspension sought. But DoJ says President has disciplinary powers over BuCor director) is a report on Sec. De Lima's statements which surprisingly, although mild, are not necessarily favorable to the President. Aquino -1. De Lima +1.

The other front page news today:

Aquino-Pacquiao talk on RH ends in no decision - The President and the boxing congressman share the limelight equally in this news report. Pacquiao +1. Aquino +1.

Lacson’s RH bill to reward couples with 2 kids - Senator Lacson gets front page space while the Catholics are shown to be now divided on the issue. The report also openly backs the RH bill by using its proponents' description "The RH bill, which seeks to provide couples an informed choice in planning their families, has generated tension between the pro and anti camps.". Lacson +1. Catholic Church -1.

Pichay suspended over bank purchase using LWUA funds - a minion of the former President gets the ax. Pichay -1 Arroyo -1. DoF +1.

Wasn’t just me,’ says bus driver in fatal crash - a development on an accident that hugged healdines.

Prophet of doom to watch ‘apocalypse’ on TV - a story on the end-of-the-workd prediction and preparing for Zombies, with PAGASA given space to comment. PAGASA +1.

Chinese mining firms skirt PH laws - Unethical Chinese businesses seem to be the target of this news report. China -1.

The scores:
De Lima: 1
Pacquiao: 1
Lacson: 1
DoF: 1
Aquino: 1 -1 =0
China: -1
Catholic Church: -1
Pichay: -1
Arroyo: -1
