The main headline (‘Juan’ leaves 12 dead; P1.5-B crop lost. Waves as big as houses swamp Isabela town) reports the devastation caused by the typhoon, from a point of view that would make the government proud (that there are less fatalities int he face of the world's strongest typhoon this year, that there were less fatalities because the LGUs are better prepared because of the better than past PAGASA forecasts, and that there is a very huge loss of palay crops justifying the government's plan to import more rice next year which erases the President's wrong statements in the SONA). Aquino +1.
The other news today:
PAGASA: Team RP proves world wrong - a report basically from PAGASA's and the administration's point of view claiming that they were good based on the lucky occurrence that the typhoon did not cause as much landslides and flooding as in the past. Aquino +1.
Joker redux: He got amnesty for Joma Sison - a report that would have led us to believe Rex Robles represents the Feliciano commission, whose statements are in defense of the President's decision to grant amnesty to rebel soldiers. Aquino +1.
‘Explosive, not gas, blasted Glorietta 2’ - a totally one-sided retelling of the Glorietta explosion, asserting there is a coverup involving both former President Arroyo and now AFP Chief of Staff David. Arroyo -1. David -1.
UP Law faces sanction over SC plagiarism case - a report that seems to show that the SC is vengeful against UP Law who accused one of its member of plagiarism. SC -1.
Baby George mom wants to take him - a report that got the compassionate DSWD saying victims cannot be criminals. Our monitor cannot determine the effect of this news on the department, yet.
Pagcor bought Bro. Mike condos - a report that seems to show that Velarde and a former administration official are in cahoots in doing some kind of a daylight to midnight deal. Arroyo -1. Velarde -1.
A tongue-twister that spells disaster - a report that seems to explain that the problem with the new name was by the doing of the past administration.
The scores:
Aquino: 3
David: -1
Velarde: -1
SC: -1
Arroyo: -2
