The main headline (Obama loses big in polls. Americans’ message: Change course) is an AP report on the results of the US midterm elections, which for the Inquirer seems to be bigger news than the supposed terror threat in Manila.
The other news today:
‘IMMINENT DANGER’. US warns of terror attack in Manila - a terrorist alert amidst the government doing actions to avert them, the administration remaining mostly scot-free from any blame.
New California Chief Justice leads Fil-Am winners in US polls - a story of several Fil-Ams winning elections in the US.
Aquino may follow Obama path, warns think-tank - various reactions to conservatism rise in the US shown by the results of the midterm elections there, with a report on a report by a group called Pacific Strategies and Assessments, which include a harsh assessment of the Philippine President whom they say cannot be expected and does not have what it takes to accomplish anything. Aquino -1.
I-TEAM SPECIAL REPORT: NEW CENTURIONS. Sheila Platt is the good news to Moros - some US civilians doing good in Mindanao for victims of displacement brought about by war, and the President given good treatment for having a "plan" for peace there. US +1. Aquino +1.
Memorial shrine planned for 57 massacre victims - an update on the Ampatuan hearings and of the planned shrine to be erected where the massacre took place. For the first time, the name of President Arroyo is not tagged with the news for being a political ally which our monitor has become used to in the past.
2,600 PAL workers facing layoff to get P1M each - a report mostly from the management side in the PAL labor dispute.
Palace defends Arroyo’s P2.2B: It’s not ‘pork’ - for the third day, a non-news made it the front page talking about President Arroyo's supposed pork which are not pork after all, which of course the paper should have known right even before it made the headline. Arroyo -1.
The scores:
US: 1
Aquino: 0
Arroyo: -1
