20T given if this presidentiable is on the front page?

- The Ear -
May 7, 2010 | 12:00am

ANOTHER POLITICAL DEAL. After The Ear heard of this mediaman in Cebu who made a deal with a presidentiable’s party that everytime this presidentiable appears on the news pages, this mediaman will receive P5,000, another political deal was heard. This time, it’s about the negotiations between another presidentiable’s pointman and another Cebuano mediaman.

FRONT PAGE PRICE. The Ear heard that if this presidentiable would be the top news of the day (news favorable to this presidential candidate, of course) this mediaman would receive a whopping P20,000. Those who heard of this deal said that this presidentiable is not one of the frontrunners in surveys, is not known to have the richest war chest and his tv ads are not shown as frequently as those of the frontrunners’.
