As if most of the contents of the main headline news report has yet been reported (Solons seek cuts in fat gov’t pay. Congress to probe ‘scandalous’ emoluments) the Inquirer repeats the allegations of "fat" salaries GOCC officers are receiving, this time with garnish of interviews from news hugging politicians. The report treats the subject as if it is totally new giving one of the embarrassed GOCC chief space to defend himself which he has done earlier. The report though treated the defense as if it was first time it as reported.
The other news today:
Pagcor chair doubts $10-B offer; Kuok denies reports - an unnecessary discussion on the prospects of gambling industry in the Philippines.
‘Burjer’ Ben Abalos: I’ll be cleared on NBN - a retelling of the NBN ZTE deal, of course negative to the former administration. Arroyo -1.
Compromise deal divides Hacienda Luisita 4 unions - a report on the Luisita that amazingly freed President Aquino from involvement. Aquino +1.
US, Vietnam display military ties amid warnings from China - an AP report on a much improved relations between Vietnam and the USA, threatening China's dominance in the area. The situation if it escalates could have serious consequence to the region with the Philippines also to be highly involved.
Kids in 48,000 daycare centers to feed on excess NFA rice - a report that reminds us that there is an oversupply of rice. Arroyo -1.
Pacquiao website yields wrong age, wrong wife - a mistake in the House of Representative's website getting good space in the Inquirer Front Page.
Ex-Navy officer, family massacred; P200,000 reward - a shocking multiple murder crime story involving a Navy officer's family (Lt. Comm equivalent to Major in the army, Chief PEtty Officer equivalent to Seargeant in the Army) as victims given lackluster coverage by the mass media as a whole, as if the lives of a military personnel, even when in their private lives, are not that important.
The scores today seems to remains as it was during the campaign period:
Aquino: 1
Arroyo: -2
