Abstract | This study aims to determine how a hostage drama in Iraq involving an overseas Filipino worker was framed in English-language newspapers in the Philippines. Data came from the July 9-25, 2004 issues of five leading English-language broadsheets in the Philippines. The study found that the event was given maximum salience and prominence by the newspapers. In addition, the participant "Philippine government" was foregrounded; the rest of the participants were backgrounded. In terms of activity, the performative verbs "saying" and "asking" were assigned to the topicalized/thematized participants in the data, thus making these participants agents or actors.
