Typhoon Juan took the Phil. Daily Inquirer Front Page by storm today!


The main headline today (Super-typhoon hits North. Gov’t evacuates folk in Cagayan, Isabela) is a combination of reports coming from different areas expected to experience the onslaught of the typhoon, as well as the press statements of readiness expressed by some government officials.

The other news:

Students taught how to record rainfall - a project by Smart Communications that prod students from various places to monitor, record and report rainfall. Smart Communications is a regular advertiser in the Phil Daily Inquirer Front Page.

Analysis. Amid setbacks, Aquino is combative - For the first time, although still reminding us of the President's supposed landslide victory (even if almost 60% of the voters did not vote for him), an analysis by a person who seem to be an Aqiuno campaign supporter, that turned out to be negative for the President. Aquino -1.

Lawmakers scramble for P21-B dole - a report on the dole-outs in the national budget, which repeats the opposition against it. Aquino -1.

Mere admin penalties dismay China - a report on the apparent snub by China of a proposed Philippine delegation and a recall of the hostage fiasco, could only be negative to the administration. Aquino -1.

RP ‘komiks’ fight for survival - an AFP feature on the dying local illustrated comic books industry.

PDI business reporters win four awards - a report on PDI winning business journalists by a project supported by Globe Communications.

Church to hold fadz concert - a story on singing priests' upcoming show, giving the Catholic Church some positive exposure. Catholic church +1.

While everyone is busy concerned of the typhoon, President Aquino is taking a hit in the Front Page of the Phil. Daily Inquirer for a few days in a row. The scores today show the continuing trend:
Catholic Church: 1
Aquino: -3
