The main headlines in the Inquirer today gave space to the other side of the senate presidency race (Pangilinan too close to Aquino). Without reporting any other senator who is challenging Sen. Pangilinan's bid for the Senate Presidency, the Inquirer gave space to press statements coming from Sen. Angara who might be supporting Sen. Villar. By the way things are looking, it seems Sen. Pangilinan already had the support of enough number of senators. However, obviously, other senators are toughening their act to get the most out of the exercise. The Inquirer report though only touched on the official reasons and counter reasons for why or why not some senators are voting for whom. I say this report goes for Sen. Angara or whoever Angara is with, which we cannot read from the news. The news by the way gave some positive spin for Sen Escudero when the paper credited him as the "architect of the NoyBi tandem". Escudero +1.
The other news today:
In his own words: Why they’re Aquino’s Chosen - a delayed print of the Aquino June 29 introduction speech of his own cabinet appointees. Aquino +1.
Who’s Julia Abad and why is she PMS head? - a feature on the young Abad with a few good words for President Aquino. Aquino +1.
DOJ chief’s priority: Smugglers, tax cheats - a feature on the new DOJ chief Leila De Lima, again with a few good words for President Aquino. Aquino +1.
Dutch incredible! Brazil is out of World Cup - a compilation of reports, some belated, on the world cup.
On the 4th day, Aquino takes day off - Although the title of this piece is about a too early day off, the news it its entirely gave also positive spins on the President's schedule and statements. The report also gave Arroyo a positive treatment by comparing her Saturday work schedule to that of Aquino, which is fuller. Aquino +1. Arroyo +1.
The scores today:
Aquino: 4
Arroyo: 1
Escudero: 1
The honeymoon period apparently continues.
