Mar and Kiko, oil and water

Former senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, the newly appointed Presidential Adviser on Food Security and Agricultural Modernization (whew, why is it that this administration has a penchant for long titles?), has been quoted as saying he would clean up the four agencies of the Department of Agriculture he is assigned to supervise

His appointment has effectively clipped the wings of the Agriculture secretary Proceso Alcala who had been flying high under the Aquino administration despite allegations of graft and corruption in the department under his watch.
