Some netizens are now saying not-so-great things about the front page of the Philippine Daily Inquirer‘s Dec 31 issue.

The said page features a lead photo showing President Noynoy Aquino and newlywed celebrities Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

However, right beneath the photo is the banner story about Typhoon Seniang’s death toll. The lead photo’s story actually comes with this title: “Star-studded ‘royal wedding’ with a cast of a thousand.”

But while some critics say the lead photo could have just been placed in the entertainment section, there are others who point out that it just goes to show where the President’s priorities lie and which type of news sells.
 

Well, either way, in this situation, somebody ended 2014 with a bang…the kind that hurts others, that is.

In any case, at least one netizen pointed out that there may be more to this Inquirer front page.
