The main headline (Another Aquino EO challenged. Order suspending executive perks assailed) presents the legal challenge to EO#7 which suspends the bonuses and other perks of GOCCs. The report repeated the logic behind the President's populist EO but at the same time gave space to the legal questions posed against it such that our monitor cannot make a call as to whether it benefits the government's position or not.
The other news today:
4,000 incumbents in Monday’s barangay polls face ouster - a report on updates regarding the Barangay elections that gave President Aquino some space describing him as a hard worker, working even on a holiday, thus giving him some positive exposure. The updates mostly came from the COMELEC and thus presented the commission to be on top of things. Aquino +1, COMELEC +1.
SC urged to forgo sanctions vs UP profs - a report that gives more weight to the plagiarism allegedly committed than the decision that says there is none. SC -1.
Analysis. Aquino blunders may embolden adventurists - although the analysis by Amando Doronila whose pen seems to have supported the Aquino candidacy still gave the spin of a huge mandate for the President, it nevertheless repeatedly mentioned the blunders and ineptness of the administration. Aquino -1.
Meet the tag team of Radyo Inquirer 990 - a report on some persons anchoring an Inquirer's radio program, obviously a promotion of the same. Inquirer +1.
Charice soars at concert - an almost blow by blow report of a concert including International talents, with our very own Charice included.
Unemployed guard wins siesta contest - an AP international report on a trivial contest.
Fear of China’s might clouds Asian summit - a report on the upcoming Vietnam trip of the President that focuses on a possibly domineering China instead on the possible meet up between our leaders on the issue of the hostage fiasco, obviously shielding the President from embarrassment. China -1, Aquino +1.
The scores:
Aquino: 1
COMELEC: 1
Inquirer: 1
SC: -1
China: -1
