The main headline (Binay ‘clears’ suspect in bar exams blast ) is a report on the suspected Bar Exams grenade thrower who is a member of the same fraternity as VP Binay's. The paper did not notice the discrepancies when praises were given to the VP for turning over the suspect to the DOJ, while everyone is saying that justice will be pursued at all cost as voiced by the President, and all while the suspect is not charged in court even if there are witnesses pointing at him. Binay +1, Delima +1, Aquino +1.
The other news today:
Tsunami, volcanic eruption hit Indonesia - an update on a couple of natural disasters happening almost simultaneously, but unrelated to each other, in Indonesia.
4 MONTHS UNDER AQUINO. RP up a bit in corruption index - a news piece coming purely from President Aquino and his administration's point of view on Transparency International's report on worldwide corruption index rankings. Claiming credit for the very small uptick surely meant that the President did not read the TI report which was based mostly from 2009 surveys and shows we have the same score as last year's (2.4) and are tied with some other countries from 134 to 142 (last year we are tied from 139-142).. Aquino +1.
Councilor killed; losers burn school - more reports of violence related to the barangay elections.
18 voters, 2 candidates and no winner - more reports of delays and settlement of ties in the Barangay and SK elections.
‘Oakwood’ judge defers ruling out of legal courtesy - a news report where President Aquino's amnesty is given supposed "courtesy" by the court but which was not really explained why. Sen. Escudero is also given space to give his affirmative opinion. Aquino +1. Escudero +1.
Comelec exec: Nothing to pack - a report on what caused the delays in the shipment of election paraphernalia, defending the people that may be accused of delaying the shipments intentionally.
Cop witness: I heard Andal Jr. plan massacre - a news update on the Ampatuan case, quickly reminding us that the family of the accused are allies of the former President while forgetting to take note that the former President is also closely allied with the victims. Arroyo -1.
The scores:
Aquino: 3
Binay: 1
De Lima: 1
Escudero
Arroyo: -1
