Joining ABS-CBN’s booboo on the death of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, err… former President Cory Aquino, the Manila Bulletin also had a similar mistake in its supplement issue released yesterday, August 6.
The caption on the photo published in the Manila Bulletin says:
With Utmost Care. Military honor guard carefully moves the coffin of President Arroyo out of the Manila cathedral.
The newspaper photo below.
Manila Bulletin: “Coffin of President Arroyo”
Lapse in judgment? Freudian slip? Wishful thinking?
You decide.

Why Filipinos do not become business owners or entrepreneurs
For a majority of Filipinos, entrepreneurship does not seem to be a typical, expected path. This is not surprising, considering that in school, students are primarily taught to become employees after graduation.

kaya ayoko na magbasa ng diyaryo, eh.
I agree with everybody. This is a serious mistake, especially regarding such a sensitive story and also coming from a respected broadsheet.
But to be honest, I also want to add: This made my day. 🙂
grabe..manila bulletin pa naman..sobrang prominent na broadsheet!!editor..wake up po..
..hhmmm…the subconscious is tricky..
it sure did made my day!! ;p Oh,oldest newspaper in the country, should be a reliable source.
sure, we’re humans, we make mistakes, but hell, no! how can they be so careless?
i’d say its deliberate, just see how people might react…people either say,
“OMG! this is a grave mistake! It’s an insult to Cory Aquino” others look at it and say,
“Wish it were true”
haha!
nonetheless the proofreader should be fired, to the editor, good luck! LOL
one of the clever strategy in journalism. so accept it.
Overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. lolz

the press subconciously prefer PGMA to be dead
instead of Cory. hehehe ^^
I do not believe that this has been made unintentionally. What happened to the editors? The errors made were from the respected newspapers. If it came from a new-comer tabloid newspaper maybe I would be convinced that it was really unintentional.
It is not about how they make fun of Gloria Arroyo it also shows disrespect to the former president, Cory Aquino. Alright! Let us assume that these had been made inadvertently, because of the publishers mistakes and negligence the more hurtful criticism will not come from us, it will come from foreigners. What would they think about Philippines and the media that we have here?
Let us make a change! Move on for our country! Giving them benefit of the doubt, hope next time they will become more careful! They are not just cheap publishers! If it was just a joke it was not a good joke!
What happened to the editors? Are they still doing there job? It is so hard for me
to imagine that some respected newspapers in the country could make that kind of
errors.
The journalists should think about the implications of what they had done. It shows
disrespect to the former president Cory Aquino.
If it was a joke, that was not a good joke!
Alright I will give them benefit of the doubt.
Next time they should be careful in publishing erroneous articles.
hayyyyy..kala ko patay na si PGMA..ano ba yan mga publishers..inaantok ba kayu? di bale Pangulo ,sabi nga nn lola ko pag ganyan daw ang situation , matatagaln daw ang buhay natin ..aabot daw tau ng 100 yrs…Dont mind it..its just a silly mistake ..they dont mean it…….
