Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino is serious about fulfilling his campaign promise to rid the government of corruption and maximize the efficiency of the bureaucracy. Aquino has consistently proclaimed that his administration will always pursue what he calls Daang Matuwid (straight path).

In recent months, Aquino’s critics have called for the resignation or firing of several of his cabinet members for alleged corruption or total inefficiency on the job, among them, Vice President Jejomar Binay, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, Agrarian Reform Secretary Virgilio de los Reyes, Philippine National Police Director General Alan Purisima and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad.

Today, The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that Aquino is weighing his cabinet members.

Any cabinet member who is found to be overweight — weighing more than 200 pounds or having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 25 — will be fired or asked to submit his or her resignation.

Finally, Aquino is showing some great leadership.
