Manila Bulletin: Arroyo's Coffin instead of Aquino's

Manila Bulletin, Newspaper, August 06 2009, issue, arroyo's coffin, caption, wrong caption, Military honor guard carefully removes the coffin of Mrs. Arroyo out of the Manila Cathedral, cory aquino, death, funeral
Written in the caption: "WITH UTMOST CARE. Military honor guard carefully moves the coffin of President Arroyo out of the Manila Cathedral."

As everybody knows, Mrs. Aquino and not Mrs. President Arroyo's name should be on this caption from the August 06 2009 issue of The Manila Bulletin newspaper. This image has been caught by a lot of critiques' eagle eyes and definitely, the newspaper company is in big trouble for this with Malacañang. (Laughs)

Of course, we know that this is just a pure mistake of unavoidable typo error (Freudian slip in a more scientific term). In fact, a lot of news anchors have also been trapped on this "mind twister" like Tina Monson Palma, Arnold Clavio and another field reporter (I forgot the name) who all mistakenly said Arroyo instead of Aquino.

I find this photo worth sharing and I just can't believe that even big newspaper companies commit such controversial mistake.

What do you think will be Malacañang's reaction on this especially Mrs. Arroyo? Leave your comments.

May excuse ang ibang news anchor na nagkamali dahil live naman kasi sila. Pero ang katulad ng Manila Bulletin e hindi katanggap tanggap ang kanilang pagkakamali. Naka bold pa talaga ang caption nila, hehe napaka TANGA naman ng editor nila. Patay kayo sa Malacanang.

Anyway guys, wag tay0ng magbiro lalo na kung death ang paguusapan. Its not a good joke, kahit gaano pa kasama ang tao sa tingin mo, lalo na kung presidente pa ng bansa.

Nice post jaypee.. :-)

that was just perfect! love it

There are actually two errors here. First, it should have been "Aquino" not "Arroyo."
Second, the pallbearers are police officials, not military honor guards.
Embarrassing errors, indeed!

yah a lot made a mistake during the burial on Tv & Radio but this one is printed..... well, if this is true.... bulletin should appologize and suffer the consequences... GMA is the president.

Was it really a slip or was it purposely done to generate sympathy for the other woman president?

Palace finds no malice in photo caption error
by TJ Burgonio
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 19:15:00 08/07/2009


MANILA, Philippines—President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's political adviser believes that Manila Bulletin's boo-boo in identifying the late former President Corazon Aquino's coffin as that of Arroyo’s is an “honest mistake.''

Secretary Gabriel Claudio said he doubted that there was malice behind the photo caption that appeared on the back page of the paper's main section last Thursday.

“Obviously a typo error. I can't imagine any publication making a deliberate mistake like that,'' he said in a phone interview. “I'm sure there's no malice here.''

On Page 20 of the paper's Thursday issue read the photo caption: “WITH UTMOST CARE. Military honor guard carefully moves the coffin of President Arroyo out of the Manila Cathedral.” The photo was part of a collage of photos on Aquino's funeral last Wednesday.

On Friday, the paper published the photo again on Page 5 with the corrected caption: “FINAL RESPECTS (CORRECTED CAPTION). Military honor guards give the late President Corazon Aquino their final respects as her casket was brought out of the Manila Cathedral for her final resting place at the Manila Memorial Park.''

Claudio, who admitted that Arroyo never called his attention to it and only learned of it Friday, said there was no need to ask the paper's editors to rectify or to issue an apology.

“It's obviously a typo clerical error. I don't see any need to make a story out of it,'' he said.

Claudio said such mistakes were commonplace not only in newsrooms, but also inside Malacañang.

He recalled that then Executive Secretary Teofisto Guingona Jr. introduced then President Fidel V. Ramos as “His Excellency President Ferdinand Marcos” in a function in Malacañang.

Ok ... sabi nya eh ... :P
