MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – There had been a lot of debate over the proposal to rename the Northern Luzon Expressway (NLEX) after the late President Cory Aquino.

Many critics have commented that there seems to be a master plan to name and rename major Philippine infrastructure to permanently establish the legacy of the Aquino family. Of course, we all know that Manila’s international airport is named after Cory’s husband Ninoy (Ninoy Aquino International Airport or NAIA).

So what about the other Aquinos?

Well, a deal has been finally reached as a compromise, agreed to by no less than President NoyNoy Aquino himself. The new names will honor the president’s mother and four sisters.

The Clark International Airport will be renamed Cory Aquino International Airport (CAIA).

The Southern Luzon Expressway (SLEX) will be renamed Maria Elena Aquino Expressway (MEAEX)

The Northern Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will be renamed Victoria Aquino Expressway (VAEX)

The Manila North Expressway (MNEX) will be renamed Aurora Aquino Expressway (AAEX)

So what about the most famous Aquino sister, Kris?

President Aquino announced that his administration will build a new South Expressway (SEX) in Manila and will be named Kris Aquino South Expressway (KASEX).

As for the president himself, the Pan-Philippine Highway which extends from Laoag City in Northern Luzon to Zamboanga City in Mindano will be renamed NoyNoy Aquino Highway.

Hindi namin kayo malilimutan. (We will never forget you). Long live the Aquinos!
