The main headline today (Aquino wants to remember Ninoy quietly) is spinned in such a way that it seems to have forgotten that the President is not anymore just the son of the hero being commemorated today. Aquino -1.
The other news in the front page today:
Whats wrong with the Philippines? - an essay supposedly written by Ninoy Aquino, probably in mid-60s, which reveals more policies than those represented by the present leader.
Ninoy Aquino's letter to the 'Grand Old Man of the Opposition' - a letter of Ninoy Aquino presumably at the time when he is being tried by a military court, paying homage to Sen. Lorenzo Tanada, saying he owed him his resilience and restoration of confidence that everything will turn out for the better.
Highest paid gov't exec may lose intel funds - although the SBMA executive has so many times explained the actual salary he receives, and although given space in this Inquirer Front page report to give his side, the paper seems ignorant of his defense and did not verify to get to the truth. This is another he-say-she-say type of report that does not give us any real information and looks like coming from those who want Mr. Arreza out of SBMA. Since the SBMA chairman is much vilified in the mass media without due process, we begin today to monitor the treatment he receives. Arreza -1.
Court: James Yap can visit Baby James - a report on the development of the annulment proceedings on the marriage of a Presidential sister, remaining unsurprised of the sudden turn of events while they seems to be hapilly married even as recent as during President Aquino's election run.
Gabriela hits Aquino on divorce: It’s not Las Vegas-style - is not much of a reaction to the President's gaffe (saying he is not for divorce but ok for separated couples to remarry), but of the President's lack of understanding of the bill being pushed. Our monitor cannot pinpoint whether this report benefits President Aquino nor treat him negatively.
Torture taught at 'academy' but no longer tolerated, says PDI source - a report about the prevalence of torture in Philippine law enforcement and about how people talk to the mass media even when they should not. PNP -1.
NBI: Dead robbery suspect could be man in torture video - a report on the torture victim.
2 Roses can now lead normal lives - a report on the successful operation to separate a conjoined Filipino baby twins.
The scores today:
Aquino: -1
PNP: -1
Arreza: -1
