MANILA, Philippines - President-elect Benigno Aquino III is getting spruced-up. This week, he got dressed-up for his official proclamation by fashion designer JC Buendia.

But he's still uneasy being called Mr. President. To make him more comfortable in his new seat why not a pet name? `P-Noy', short for President Noy.

"Medyo formal na gagawin nating a little less formal might bring me closer to the people and allow me to serve them more effectively," President-elect Noy says.

As for what his "vice" will be called?

This week, ANC Morning's anchor TJ Manotoc cited his exchange with one twitter, that since there was a hip-hop ring to `P'noy', like rapper P'Diddy, why not a pet name for Vice-president-elect Jejomar BinV'nay'!

Sure, but wouldn't that make them jejemon too?

There's just so much to ask P'Noy, more so since he's the country's first bachelor president.

So, what about a possible wedding in Malacañang?

Asked during his first official press conference if wedding bells would be ringing soon in Malacañang, he said he would have to consult seer Madame Auring about it.

ABS-CBNnews.com posed the question to Madame Auring.

She says a Palace wedding can still happen, but not in 2010 as the year supposedly won't bode well for P'noy.

"It's not good for [Aquino] to get married this year. 2010 has a 'round' number at the end...The last number should not look like you're being trapped," the fortune teller said.

And who would want to be trapped?!

But then again, P'Noy is off to a good diplomatic start with US President Barack Obama inviting him to visit Washington. They even compared notes on smoking.

"Sabi niya, that's solely your problem, I've given that up years ago... I will send you advice when you're ready to give it up," Aquino says, recalling his candid conversation with the US President this week.

But P'Noy admits, pleasantries with the outgoing Chief Executive, President Arroyo, over a call soon after Obama's, was not exactly pleasant.

"Awkward... I had to give her due courtesies because she's a woman and she's a president," Aquino admits.

But judging from that awkward conversation could a shared ride on inauguration day be any better?
