Today will be the last weekly Monetary Board meeting attended by MB member Fe Barin. Ms. Barin has been clearing her desk at the Bangko Sentral and should be ready to report for work as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission starting Sept. 1.


So far, there is no word on whom the Palace will appoint to replace Ms. Barin as one of five MB representatives from the private sector. Government is represented in the MB by Bangko Sentral Governor Rafael Buenaventura, who sits as chairman, and by a Cabinet member.

Not that anybody is fired, mind you.


It seems the flag color is just a no-brainer reminder to employees to work together towards a common target.
