MANILA, Philippines - Don't call him Noynoy anymore. President-elect Benigno S. Aquino III is dropping his nickname for the still slightly informal moniker "P.Noy."

In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN's Jing Castañeda, Aquino said he likes his new nickname, which was first suggested by his sister, Kris.

"Why P. Noy? It plays on Pinoy. It's a little bit less formal and it's something that would make me more accessible to people," he told ABS-CBN after his proclamation on Wednesday.

He said he liked his mother's initials, PCCA (for President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino), when she was in office. He said his own initials, PBSA (President Benigno Servillano Aquino), "sounded too much like a school."

(There's a Philippine school, PSBA, which stands for Philippine School for Business Administration.--Eds.)
