“BF was the epitome of efficiency and effective leadership, armed with vision and political will, qualities which if appreciated by a people who allow emotions to prevail over brains, would have made him a great national leader”
I first heard about the guy from a Valley Golf subdivision resident in 1992, who told me he would be volunteering for the campaign of one Bayani Fernando to become mayor of Marikina. The same may be said of cities like Mandaluyong, San Juan and Pasig, where real estate values went astronomical because of shopping malls and high rise buildings jumpstarted by big business.
He reclaimed the sidewalks from itinerant vendors, illegal structures and parked vehicles, with strictly enforced bike lanes and pedestrian walkways. When his three-term limit expired, they gave his wife Marides another three terms as mayor, where she continued building upon the renaissance BF started.
That project failed to materialize when Erap was deposed by GMA, the funds transferred to Intramuros by the succeeding tourism leadership.
