Inquirer falls for fake Time Magazine cover, publishes PNoy as cover

Looks like editors of the recently released Philippine Daily Inquirer broadsheet will be receiving loud criticisms (and possible firing) for allowing a fake Time Magazine cover portraying President Aquino in his nganga (open mouth) pose to get into the front page of one of the leading newspapers in the Philippines.

The said cover, revealing PNoy, as the man of the hour by Time Magazine proved to be just a parody cover (meme, to be exact) made and released in Facebook page Showbiz Government. The face of the actual latest Time cover is that of 15-year old Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, who last year earned international attention after Taliban militants' attempt to assasinate her.

The fake PNoy on Time Magazine cover can still be accessible online in PDI's link. The Philippine Daily Inquirer is one of the largest national broadsheets in the Philippines. What will netizens say about this? This one's a real humiliation to Philippine journalism.
