The headline (Vizconde cop to be freed. Convict jailed 9 years for burning evidence) seems to give further tension on the upcoming SC decision on a Vizconde Massacre issue, that surprisingly gave the supposed accomplice space to assert his innocence.
The other Front Page News today:
SC, Webbs dare Vizconde to name names - is a defense on the SC battered yesterday by the senior Vizconde's allegation. Although the report still reminded everyone of a supposed pressure from a justice in the SC to the rest of the justices, it gave more space on the defense enough to credit a positive treatment for the Supreme Court. SC +1.
NINOY’S 78TH BIRTHDAY. ‘I’m sure, somewhere out there, he’s helping out Noy,’ says Ballsy - a report which last sentence, praising the President, simply explains what it is all about. Aquino +1.
North Korea warns of ‘brink of war’ - the North trying to reverse the table on the South in Korea, claiming continuing provocation, as reported by Reuters and AFP.
When UP was king Sports made it to Page 1 - a feature on a sports event that could perhaps be part of the paper's history. Inquirer +1.
They’re strong, they’re invincible, they’re women - a feature cum a commentary on a sports event that was not covered much by mass media but which the Inquirer cover nevertheless. Inquirer +1.
‘Pacquiao effect’ on Pinoys subject of study - a news that with Pacquiao on it surely invited readers but has little to do with Pacquiao except to give his name more exposure. Pacquiao +1.
Pregnant woman stabbed 24 times, shot once, lives - a report about a crime on the hands of policemen, that should have been given more prominence and which focus should have been on the background of the crime itself rather than on the inner strength of the victim. Although the purported perpetrators were caught and apprehended, the report results of course into another negative news against the Police force. The report is accompanied by a photo of the victim which clearly shows the particulars on where she is being medically attended to, surprisingly without regard for her safety, when in fact the case involves the possibility that the victim was hit because she is a witness to a crime. PNP -1.
The scores:
Inquirer: 2
Aquino: 1
SC: 1
Pacquiao: 1
PNP: -1
