August 1, 2011

"Guilty" seems to be how the former First Gentleman is described today in the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page.


The headline (‘Jose Miguel Arroyo owned helicopters’. Businessman to testify in Senate probe) gave three senators top billing to prove that the former administration is bad. In the spirit of 'fairness', the paper 'tried' to contact the legal spokesperson of Mrs. Arroyo but to no avail. Of course, readers should have known that it is unfair to ask unverified allegations to those whom wrongdoings are alleged in the first place, but the paper seems not to mind that. Arroyo -1. Lacson +1. Estrada +1.

The other front page news reports today:

Palace looking into Garcillano properties - is another one-sided report against the former administration based on statements from people supporting the present administration's position. Arroyo -1. Llamas +1.

Beneficiaries of gov’t cash scheme turn to loan sharks - reports on some problems with the conditional cash transfers that the DSWD would have to solve. The report did not give so much of a treatment.

Ramadan monthlong fasting starts - a news feature on a Muslim religious season.

COMMENTARY. In death, Cory Aquino lives as model for all widows - the former President is both courageous and religious. Aquino +1.

INQUIRER READ-ALONG. Miss Earth beauty queens read about Nature to kids - some beautiful girls went along with the paper to read to kids. Inquirer +1.

The scores:
Aquino: 1
Lacson: 1
Estrada: 1
Llamas: 1
Inquirer: 1
Arroyo: -2
