MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Mover, Mar Roxas. Make way for former Senator Kiko Pangilinan!

There have been long-standing rumors that former DILG Secretary and defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas was being considered to become President Bongbong Marcos’ Agriculture Secretary. But those rumors have all but dissipated.

Enter Pangilinan.

He has been sending feelers to Malacañang regarding his interest to head the Agriculture Department.

In one of such feelers, Pangilinan posted a selfie on his social media account wearing a t-shirt saying he is one with farmers and fisher folk. (The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is under the D.A.)

Will the President or the First Lady entertain Pangilinan’s feelers?

(After all, Pangilinan’s wife Sharon Cuneta is the godchild of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos in her first wedding with actor Gabby Concepcion!)
