TV news covered Presidential election most; party list, senatorial campaign least
The CMFR Monitor of Media Coverage of the 2010 Elections
Broadcast Discourse Analysis (For the period April 12-16 and 19-23, 2010)
From April 12 to 16 and 19 to 23, almost five out of ten reports by TV Patrol World (ABS-CBN 2) were about the elections. In the case of 24 Oras (GMA 7) and Teledyaryo (NBN 4), it was three out of 10 and four out of 10, respectively. The three news programs, however, devoted more than half of their coverage to the presidential election, at the expense of the senatorial and party-list campaign.

@cmfr That is the reason why, elected senators, were not well chosen..more name recall than capability,due to lack of media attention.
