July 1, 2010

The answer to "Who's the Boss?" seems to be the main takeaway in the Inquirer main headline today.


The main banner today (AQUINO SAYS: ‘Kayo ang boss ko’. Aquino also thanks the people, ‘my true strength’) talks of how great the new President's speech is. Of course that is expected given that the writer Mr. Gil Cabacungan is whom we know to have given wildly glowing descriptions of Noynoy Aquino, during the campaign. Aquino +1.

The other news in the Inquirer front page today follows:

They came to celebrate democracy - shows how well loved the new President is, both by ordinary people and celebrities. Aquino +1.

Aquino, Arroyo convoys get in way of Binay’s e-jeep - a report on the Vice President's side of the inauguration ceremonies. Binay +1.

Arroyo loses immunity from suit - seems to be somewhat of a "magtago ka na" type of threat versus the former President, making it timely as she was said to have lost immunity after finishing her term. While the Inquirer showed the Constitutional provision of limited immunity for members of the House, the paper did not show the supposed immunity provisions for the PResident. There are none by the way. Arroyo -1.

Arroyo jeered in Luneta, cheered in Pampanga - featured some love and hate for Arroyo, although the hate part is given prominence. Arroyo -1.

No anthem glitch for Charice; VIPs stand for folksy Noel - a coverage on the singers that rendered the inauguration ceremonies like a huge concert. It also reports shallow (even funny) proof of the Filipino unity under Aquino, via the artists from two networks getting together. Of course, the report is all too positive for President Aquino. Aquino +1.

The scores:
Aquino: 3
Binay: 1
Arroyo: -2

Indeed, yesterday is President Aquino's day.
