Declaring a crisis (Water crisis may worsen. Millions in Metro endure rationing) the Inquirer's main headline today seems to contradict no less than the President who said there is no water crisis (yet) in the country. The focus of the news though is on the reasons and solutions planned by the utility companies, making the report neutral to Pres. Aquino.
The other news today in the Phil Daily Inquirer Front Page are as follows:
Aquino stands by Abads; where’s the honeymoon? - is a report coming from the point of view of the President and Cong. Abad. The news still come out negative for the Abads and also for Pres. Aquino. Abad -1. Aquino -1.
Honasan: Amnesty for Trillanes - reports that the President is merely giving his opinion on Trillanes' case. Surely a gaffe, for how could the DOJ Sec. tell him when he is wrong (likely)? The report also gave space to Sen. Mirriam Defensonr Santiago who castigated the President for wanting to control the Senate (as if there is wrong with that, in fairness to the President). However, our monitor thinks someone should tell the President that as the highest official in the land, his opinions are not just opinions: they become policy. This monitor feels that the news still result in negative treatment to President Aquino who insists on his gaffe. Aquino -1.
SC accused of plagiarism in sex slave case - World War II sex slavery victims putting Pres. Aquino to task on his "You are my Boss" statement, the news report dealt the SC a negative treatment for merely copying legal articles without proper attribution, when it dismissed the claim of supposed sex slaves for compensation and apology from the Japanese Government. There is no proper response yet from the SC as they still have to review their own wordings on the judgment. SC -1.
2010 turning out to be hottest year on record, says US - an inconclusive Reuters report on the weather phenomenon, El Nino.
Sarmiento appointed Pagcor chief - a report on recent appointments.
Slay of activist kin accidental? - After news reports that seems to indicate that the slayed person might have something to do with being related to an activist recently killed, the Inquirer reports with a question mark (even when there is without much basis to suspect) the police report that said the death is just an accident. Our monitor presume that the question mark in the report title is merely to save the Inquirer's face, but which surely only a few readers would notice.
Cinemalaya showcases best of RP indies - a report on digital film (movie) making.
The scores today show President Aquino in negative territory for the 2nd day in a row.
Aquino: -2
Abad: -1
SC: -1
