August 24, 2010

A hostage drama seen around the world took most of the space in the Inquirer Front Page today.



The headline news (Bloodbath at Rizal Park. Gunman, 7 hostages die in 11-hour bus drama) gave reports on the hostage tragedy from different sources, without revealing any of the writer's opinion.

The other news today:

Hong Kong gov’t issues travel ban: Avoid RP - An AFP report on the HongKong authorities' actions after the hostage drama.

From decorated police officer to hostage-taker - a review from different sources on the personality of the police office who held tourists as hostages in Manila.

Mandalay Bay in Vegas smells of ‘adobo’ - a news release that seems to promote the Ms. Universe pageant in Vegas.

Cop ordered rob suspect’s killing, say witnesses - a story on the recently exposed torture happening in the Police Department, but this time without so much blaming the service.

AI dares Aquino to stand up vs torture - a call made by Amnesty International to President Aquino, that says the President is not doing enough. Aquino -1.

The score:
Aquino: -1
