NFA Will Get A New Name And Logo

5AE13D44-FC0D-4598-973E-F608A655552EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Some Senators have called for the resignation of NFA Administrator Jason Aquino while NFA Council Chair, Cabinet Secretary Jun Evasco wants the food agency abolished.  Both were triggered by the recent short supply of affordable NFA rice.

But neither is going to happen.  Instead, Malacañang, Congress and the NFA Administration have come up with a compromise:  change the name of the agency.

Henceforth, NFA will be known by its name in the vernacular.

The former Pambansang Pangasiwaan ng Pagkain will henceforth be known as Pambansang Pangasiwaan ni Evasco.

The NFA logo will also be turned clockwise so that the red-colored symbol will be positioned on the right instead of the left. Following the proper vertical display of the Philippines’ tri-colors, the blue color must always be on the left during peace time and on the right during a time of war.

Quite symbolic:  new name; no more war at NFA.

Senator Bam Aquino Invokes Law Of Gravity In Seeking NFA Administrator’s Resignation

CE536368-9F9A-49FF-B9D3-8EDB51F3727A.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles reported that Senator Grace Poe wanted to repeal the Law of Supply and Demand as she publicly called for the resignation of NFA Administrator Jason Aquino. Poe blamed Aquino for the short supply of NFA rice.

Another Senator, Bam Aquino, also called for his namesake (no relation) to step down, but had a different argument.

Senator Aquino invoked the Law of Gravity in seeking the NFA head’s resignation.

”What goes up, must come down,” Aquino said, “Administrator Aquino was on top, now he must come down.”
