I HAVE HERE TWO DIFFERENT HEADLINES FROM DIFFERENT TIME AND YEAR.

2018 Manila Times News Headline. Focus/Main Point (Bong Revilla is “NOT GUILTY”)

 The first one was happened to be in 2018 before the pandemic hits the Philippines, I have observe that manila times

are not that conscious about any information they presents. In some portions of the Headline, the text is not visible or

readable which is a factor that can affect the reader's interest to read the paper.

 Upon skimming and reading the front highlight story, Bong Revilla bail himself out for a temporary liberty, although he

was not guilty of plunder he instead charge of graft by sanligangbayan.

2021 Manila Times News Headline. Focus/Main Point (Duterte Joins Senate Race)

 The headline of the news from the Manila Times is timely and on Hot picks. Based on the past few days the

rumors and issues about some Political Runners are still revolving around the country. Fans and Loyalists are

fighting for their bet. Moreover, it became interesting when Former President Duterte plays as the game-

changer, filing from Vice President to Senatorial position.

 Rodrigo Roa Duterte files a certificate of candidacy for Senator. At first, he was rumored to run as Vice President of

Bong-Go his trusted man/right-hand but declined to faceoff his daughter who is running for Vice President under

"Lakas-CMD". Moreover, the rumors have been off about Sara Duterte and his father are not in a good condition for

the Father and Daughter relationship after the President reveal that his daughter did not consult him about its

political plans.
