Why Fernando loves it at the MMDA

Of all the government agencies, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) under Chairman Bayani Fernando seems to be the most “autonomous,” as far as running its financial affairs are concerned. Through the MMDA, Fernando has been carrying on as if he were the chief of state of an independent republic. It looks like he will continue to enjoy this privileged status for as long as he remains on the good side of President Arroyo.

Nobody with oversight powers has so far questioned him on how he has been running MMDA finances. And that’s just the way he likes it, it seems.

The Commission on Audit (COA), as a rule, is averse to the idea of zealously exercising its mandated power of review on a fellow agency directly reporting to the President. Only if and when President Arroyo herself specifically directs it to step in and review this agency’s books of accounts will the COA dare do its mandated job. But the President, who has been dotingly giving Chairman Fernando a free hand in running the MMDA, never once ordered such an audit over the past six years. Sad, but true. If only she knew what a devastating effect the MMDA’s excesses and crazy schemes have had on her own satisfaction rating in Metro Manila, she would have long booted him out.

As things now stand, the COA leaves the MMDA pretty much to its own devices. There has been no directive to that effect from the mountain- top so far.

What we have in the MMDA is an agency that has been handling untold billions in revenues, whose annual budget and expenditures have not once been subjected to a meticulous audit since Fernando took over six years ago. The MMDA’s financial affairs have never been conducted in “open sunlight” for the public to readily behold.

The MMDA’s virtual immunity from audit, plus its unwillingness to open its books, can only give rise to the suspicion that a lot of financial hanky-panky must be going on in this highly controversial agency.

Already, Fernando’s aggressiveness in promoting the use of those iron railings, iron urinals and overhead pedestrian walkways (also made of iron) all over the metropolis has provoked all sorts of speculations, all of them derogatory to Fernando.

Who is supplying these iron contraptions? Which metal fabricators are getting a bonanza of orders from the MMDA? How are these procurements priced? Are such purchases in accordance with the provisions of the procurement law? Are honest-to-goodness public biddings being held, or are they routinely rigged to favor favored suppliers and contractors?

The fact that Fernando is a civil engineer and that he owns several companies in the construction and steel-fabrication business only makes the public all the more suspicious. It may be strictly happenstance, but add to that input his public declaration that he would run for the presidency in 2010, and the public can’t help but put two and two together.

Fernando has blanketed the countryside with his expensive two-by-three-meter kaayusan all-weather posters. The question is, who paid for these posters? Let’s hope it wasn’t the MMDA, but only an audit can determine this for sure. In any case, the question that must be on the minds of prospective rival presidential candidates is this: How did Fernando build up the political war chest that he has begun to use for his precampaign propaganda?

To sustain a decent presidential campaign, one needs a minimum of P5 billion. As speculation would have it, Fernando has amassed more than double that amount.

The question is inevitably this: Can being chairman for six years of an audit-free MMDA be that lucrative? The public recalls quite vividly that about four years ago, the President had appointed Fernando as public-works secretary in a concurrent capacity (he didn’t want to let go of the MMDA). It did not take long before he casually chucked the public-works portfolio.

Why? I can only think of one reason: Technically, the government agency charged with the responsibility of taking care of national roads everywhere, including those in Metro Manila, is the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

(In Metro Manila, that function has all but been taken over by the MMDA. All contracts pertaining to these national roads are awarded by the MMDA.)

As public-works secretary, in short, he would be in constant conflict with himself.

Moreover, as public-works chief, all DPWH expenditures and contracts would have been subject to regular auditing and review not only by the COA, but also by the House appropriations committee, which decides on the size of the government’s yearly infrastructure budget.

At the MMDA, in stark contrast, public funds are practically audit-free, just like the intelligence fund of the President, which is exempt from pre- or postaudit regulations. So Fernando sacrificed the DPWH portfolio and retained the MMDA chairmanship. As MMDA chairman, he has the best of both worlds.

How very clever of him!

Metro Pink Panget

Metro in pink irks left-wing solons

House probe sought
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/metro/view/20090105-181421/Metro-in-pink-irks-left-wing-solons



MANILA, Philippines—For these “Reds,” Metro Manila hardly looks pretty in pink.

A group of left-leaning lawmakers wants the House of Representatives to investigate—in aid of legislation—the use by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) of bright pink as standard color for road signs and structures.

The group says the pink signs and structures not only mar the urban landscape but also violate local and international safety regulations.

“[They] are, at best, eyesores that worsen the visual blight plaguing Metro Manila,” according to a resolution filed last month by Bayan Muna Representatives Satur Ocampo and Teodoro Casiño; Gabriela Representatives Liza Maza and Luzviminda Ilagan; and Anakpawis Rep. Rafael Mariano.

MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando, however, is standing by his motif, saying the national capital’s “drab environment” can use a rosy accent here and there.

BF's poor attempt at humor. drab environment! mas pinapanget nga ni BF ang metro manila dahil sa mga posters nya. dagdag mo na dyan yung mga pink sinks nya.

He maintains there is no “ban” on the use of pink for such public structures.

The lawmakers describe the pink signs and structures as nuisances that “offend the senses” and are prohibited under the Civil Code.

The group also argues that Fernando’s choice of color violates the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals and similar international agreements in which the Philippines is a signatory.

The convention, the lawmakers say, specifies white, yellow, red, black, blue, green, orange and gray as internationally accepted colors for road signs, road markings and traffic lights. It also sets a standard size and shape for particular types of traffic signs, the lawmakers add.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_sign
http://www.lto.gov.ph/traffic1.html

Nuisance defined

The agreement, forged in 1968, took effect on June 6, 1978.

The lawmakers say the MMDA traffic signs violate the country’s own Civil Code, which defines public nuisances as “any act, omission, establishment, condition of property, or anything (which) annoys or offends the senses.”

hindi lang mga pink signs ang nakaka offend. pati ito o nakaka offend



Under the code, public nuisances can be the subject of a court case or a claim for damages.

Administrative Order No. 160-A, based on the National Building Code, also bans billboards and signboards that defile, debase or offend the aesthetic and cultural values and traditions of the Filipino people, according to the lawmakers.

sama nyo na rin dyan yung mga posters ng mga politico sa metro manila. lalo na sa quezon city.

The resolution is urging the House committee on Metro Manila development to check whether the use of pink had the approval of the Metro Manila Council—the policy-making body of the MMDA—and how much public funds had been spent for the structures.

‘Help for pedestrians’

Fernando, who had earned both praise and criticism as a no-nonsense, iron-fisted enforcer since becoming MMDA chair in 2002, has early on defended his preference for pink traffic signs, fences, walkways and sidewalk urinals.

mostly criticism. sira ulo na lang ang mag pupuri sa kanya

Reached for comment on the House resolution, Fernando insists that his agency has not violated any Philippine law or international standard. “There is no ban on the use of pink,” he says in Filipino.


“The pink signs are for pedestrians so they can easily [tell] that it’s for them, because most of the signs are for motorists. It’s there to help them,” Fernando says.

check mo ito
" Fluorescent pink signs are sometimes used for incident management warning."

And besides, pink is perfect for the “drab environment”’ of Metro Manila, he says. “It’s different and attractive.”

tado! green ang tamang kulay! lahat ng lungsod sa mundo eh green ang ginagamit para pagandahin ang lugar nila. hindi sa pamamagitan ng pagpintura ng verde kundi sa pagtatanim ng mga puno. dito nga sa metro manila pinagpuputol pa ng mmda yung mga puno tapos yung iba nilalagyan pa ng posters nya.

Pink of health

Fernando says the MMDA has chosen pink for its footbridges, for example, so pedestrians could easily spot them.

paint them in red or in orange to dick!

“I [first] used the color green when I was mayor of Marikina. The pink evolved when the World Health Organization designated Marikina as outstanding healthy city. So we came up with a motto: ‘Marikina, the City in the Pink of Health.’ To dramatize this, we began using pink,” he says.

“It’s the same thing we want for Metro Manila—for it to be in the pink of health.”

cheap political gimick. neknek mo BF. pink ang ginamit ng asawa mo noong election. WHO ka pa dyan. gimik lang yan. si Marcos pula, si cory yellow...
sinasayang pera natin. im sure after mawala na yan sa pwesto si el gwapo mawawala na yang pink signs na yan. kasi pipinturahan yan ng next political appointee na chairman.

The MMDA chair says he welcomes the House investigation and takes it as an opportunity to explain his color preference. “Hopefully, we will also get them to love pink,” he says.

Omerta: Graft cases vs Fernando
Written by Butch del Castillo
Monday, 08 December 2008 21:19


When President Arroyo appointed former Marikina Mayor Bayani S. Fernando chairman of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on June 14, 2002, she said in her announcement: “When I called Bayani, I said, `BF, what you did for Marikina, you must do for the whole country.’”

akala ko ba metro manila lang?

That statement seemed odd at the time, considering that Metro Manila is definitely not “the rest of the country.” What she meant by that statement became clear only about six months later when she appointed him public works and highways secretary (on a concurrent capacity) on January 9, 2008.

Apparently, the President—impressed by his accomplishments as Marikina mayor—had high hopes that Fernando, an engineer, would be able to work his magic on a nationwide scale. Thus, she gave him the public works portfolio in addition to his assignment as MMDA chairman.

take note BF is a mechanical engineer doing civil engineering project

(As subsequent events would show, it did not take long before he had to relinquish the much-coveted Cabinet job. For reasons the public has not been able to divine, Fernando seems perfectly at home in his multibillion peso fiefdom that the MMDA is.)

Nobody, of course, could fault the President for openly admiring Fernando, who had racked up quite an impressive pile of accolades for himself and Marikina during his stint as Marikina mayor. After all, the residents of Marikina themselves seemed quite satisfied with him. They elected him mayor for three straight terms from 1992 to 2001. They also elected in his place as mayor his wife, Maria Lourdes C. Fernando, when he had reached the three-term limit set by law.

Hindi lahat bumoto kay BF at sa asawa nya. ang tawag ko sa kanila... well informed voters at hindi nalokong botante

In 1994, Marikina was adjudged best local government unit in the National Capital Region. The other major accolades the city got under his leadership included the following: Best Local Government Unit in the Philippines, by the National Heritage Award (Pamana ng Lahi) in 1995; Most Outstanding City in 1997; and Best Managed City 1999.

But to several people who have had the chance to observe him closely or deal with him and the city government of Marikina, Fernando is hardly the paragon of virtue and excellence in public service that he paints himself to be.

see i told you

At the Office of the Ombudsman are several graft and administrative cases filed against him and practically the entire city council for irregularities involving hundreds of millions of pesos worth of contracts for infrastructure projects, and purchases of materials and equipment.

where there is smoke there is flame... este fire! hahaha

In two two separate cases, complainants Teodolfo T. Macarilao and Dominador M. Domingo have cited Fernando for alleged irregularities in connection with the award of four contracts for the construction of school buildings in various barangays. These projects were allegedly awarded to different contractors in violation of the Article 1B 10.4.1 of the implementing rules and regulations of Presidential Decree 1594.

Fernando also hired a consultant unnecessarily in connection with the construction of Marikina’s Hall of Justice and the City Jail building.


Complainants Oscar L. Reyes and Estrellita Regellana, in another case, denounced Fernando and other Marikina key officials for alleged irregularities in connection with two contracts, one amounting to P31.65 million for the construction of a three-story, 36-room classroom school building in Fortune Parang Parang; and the other one, which was worth P59.6 million, for the construction of the justice and jail buildings.

In a separate case, complainants Mario F. Fontanilla Sr. and Edmundo B. Mission denounced irregularities in three city construction projects in different barangays “with a total project cost of P96 million, disclosed deficiencies totaling P5.737 million, including liquidated damages not imposed.”

In this case, which implicated city engineer Alfonso P. Espiritu; Melvin A. Cruz, city administrator; and Councilor Larry Punzalan, just to name a few, statements of work accomplished and certifications of completion and acceptance were all falsified.

In another case, complainants Romulo G. Borja and Arcangel L. de la Paz, denounced Fernando and several others in the city government for alleged irregularities in the procurement of some P5 million worth of “various deformed bars.” The procured bars were not subjected to material testing as required by Commission on Audit rules. The purchase was overpriced, as borne out by test results of samples taken from the City Central Warehouse.

Complainants Macarilao and Domingo filed yet another case with the Ombudsman against Fernando for irregularities in the purchase of P19.99 million worth of personalized notebooks and P1.99 million worth of schoolbags. These items were allegedly paid for with funds taken from the city’s Special Education Fund (SEF), which is not allowed, and therefore illegal. The schoolbags were also found overpriced.

Complainant Alberto S. Lamayo, president of the Federation of Marikina Public Schools Parents and Teachers Associations, also denounced Mayor Bayani F. Fernando in connection with a P100 million loan taken out by the city from the Philippine Veterans Bank. By deducting P25 million a year from the SEF to amortize the loan for five consecutive years, Fernando allegedly violated sections 272 and 100 of Republic Act 7160, the Local Government Code, governing the utilization of the fund, as well as the creation of indebtedness by the city as provided for in sections 296 and 313 of the same Code.

These specific cases are among those that have gathered dust at the Office of Ombudsman since 2001. They are apart from the cases involving irregularities “in community mortgage programs in Marikina City” that have also been filed with the Ombudsman and are still awaiting resolution. It is in the mortgage programs case that Fernando’s wife, Mayor Maria Lourdes C. Fernando, is also named along with dozens of respondents, including key officials of the city government.

The criminal cases of graft are apart from the administrative cases for grave misconduct and abuse of authority that the respondents are facing.

We can only surmise that these cases have not been allowed to prosper because Fernando, until now, seems to be doing well—in the eyes of the Arroyo administration. Nowadays, it seems, it doesn’t matter what the public may think about the MMDA chairman. What only matters is what GMA thinks about him.

ano ba meron itong si BF kay GMA at ganon ka lakas. hmmm... ?

More and more people are coming out to denounce Fernando, just like the ones who sent me the above-mentioned Ombudsman cases. We will try to accommodate as much of their inputs as this column can possibly allow.

ang dami no? I'm sure hindi lang ito ang mga kaso ni BF

Fernando’s tarpaulins, posters at Marikina cemetery rile Golez

http://www.tribune.net.ph/metro/20081031met2.html

10/31/2008

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Bayani Fernando is not letting the All Saints’ Day pass without a pitch for the presidency.

This was the reaction of Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez yesterday after seeing Fernando’s posters and tarpaulins at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City whose mayor, Marides Fernando, is the wife of the presidential aspirant.

Golez said he was at the memorial park to pay his respects to his father, sister and parents-in-law only to see the tarpaulins of Fernando all over the place.

“Dito ako sa Loyola Marikina...dalaw sa puntod ng father, sister and parents-in-law. Yong gate ng Loyola, tadtad ng tarpaulins ni Bayani (Fernando). The guy is really running a shameless campaign,” Golez said in a text message sent to House reporters.

Golez has filed a case against Fernando before the Office of the Ombudsman in connection with alleged misuse of public funds.

Golez posited that Fernando has diverted flood control funds for Metro Manila to the printing of his tarpaulins and to the construction of the U-turn slots. The Ombudsman has yet to act on the charges.

House panel defers MMDA budget hearing over Bayani statement

utak tabutso statements from BF

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/123164/House-panel-defers-MMDA-budget-hearing-over-Bayani-statement

MANILA, Philippines - Opposition lawmakers on Friday succeeded in deferring the hearing for the Metro Manila Development Authority's (MMDA) proposed 2009 budget after MMDA chief Bayani Fernando said drivers can go as fast as they can along the almost 24-kilometer EDSA road that traverses the northern and southern parts of Metro Manila.

siguro kung merong police / traffic escort

"I move to defer the budget of the MMDA because this budget may be used to promote traffic accidents in EDSA," said Senior Deputy Minority leader Roilo Golez.

Makati City Representative Mar-Len Abigail Binay, daughter of former MMDA chief and current Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay, seconded the motion.

During the subcommittee hearing, Golez questioned Bayani's use of motorcycled police escorts, saying that a circular distributed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said only the President, Vice-President, Supreme Court Chief Justice, Senate President, House Speaker, and Philippine National Police chief can have them.

oh kaya naman pala sinasabi nya na mabilis ang traffic sa edsa, may escort na hagad si gago...este gwapo.

Bayani justified his hiring of police escorts by saying that the cops accompanying him on his travels are traffic enforcers who attend to traffic problems that they may encounter along the way.

"We manage the traffic in Metro Manila, and my escorts are traffic enforcers," Fernando replied.

wow pare! may brain damage na yata itong si BF. anong klaseng statement yan. anong klaseng pagiisip ito! eh hindi lang traffic enforcers ang kasama ni BF pati ambulance sama din. i know nakita ko na dati convoy ni el kwago sa edsa.

Fernando added that he has police escorts to manage the traffic so he would get to his destination on time--a statement which Golez questioned, saying Fernando has been bragging that Metro Manila traffic has now eased and drivers can now go as fast as 60 kilometers per hour along EDSA.

sino niloko nito? siguro kung mahal na araw ka lang makaka 60kph sa edsa.

Fernando replied by saying drivers can even go beyond 60 kilometers per hour because the MMDA wants as little traffic congestion as possible.


"More than that, as much as you can," Fernando retorted.

A visibly bothered Golez then moved to defer the budget.

"That to me is a very reckless, irresponsible statement on the part of the MMDA chairman," Golez said.

halatang nagyayabang si BF

Golez said he would withdraw his motion to defer if Fernando says he was kidding about his statement that there is no speed limit along EDSA, but the MMDA chairman replied, "I'm not kidding."

Earlier, the opposition solon also grilled Fernando on other rules that the MMDA chairman supposedly violated, particularly in connection to the MMDA tarpaulins strewn across Metro Manila highways.

Citing MMDA Regulation 04-004 signed by Fernando on Sept. 2, 2004, Golez pointed out that it was unlawful for any person or corporation to install or display billboards along major thoroughfares and other roads without the approval of the MMDA and permits from local government units (LGUs) concerned.

He then questioned the MMDA chairman if he is violating the regulation which he himself signed.

Fernando defended the posting of the MMDA tarpaulins, which carry his image, by saying they are posted on national highways that LGUs "understand" to be under MMDA jurisdiction.

"These are on national highways which are under our jurisdiction," said Fernando. "We have an understanding with LGUs that national highways are under MMDA."

"Somehow I have administrative prerogatives," the MMDA chairman added.

wow pare! ang babaw! ok sabihin natin pwede kang maglagay ng billboard...why the fuck mukha mo pa!? eh halatang pang election.

Fernando, who had publicly announced his intention to run as president in the 2010 elections, also said there is nothing political about the tarpaulins, which bear road safety reminders, except "perhaps my picture."

The subcommittee hearing on the MMDA's proposed budget was almost deferred at the very beginning of the hearing when, upon the inquiry of Golez, Fernando admitted that the MMDA 2009 budget proposal has not been approved by the Metro Manila Council and that this has been the "practice" for a long time.

Golez had earlier pointed out that under Republic Act 7924 or "An Act Creating the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority," the MMDA must first secure the Metro Manila Council's approval of the proposed budget before presenting it to Congress.

The opposition lawmaker conceded to hearing the budget, however, after Fernando assured that they would give their "best effort" to obtain the approval of the Metro Manila Council before the plenary hearings on the 2009 budget.

The Department of Budget and Management has allotted P1.79 billion for the MMDA's 2009 budget, only about one-fourth the P5.9 budget being requested by the MMDA. - GMANews.TV

The cost of uglifying Metro Manila

Tarpaulin printing = 30 pesos / sq-ft (average price in ebay.ph and sulit.com.ph)
Size of largest Bayani Fernando MMDA poster/billboard = 12 feet by 5 feet (Rough estimate lang)

12 feet x 5 feet = 60 sq-ft
30 pesos/sq-ft x 60 sq-ft = 1800 pesos

number of Bayani Fernando/MMDA posters = 1000 (estimate lang po yan.)
1800 pesos x 1000 = 1,800,000 pesos

1.8 million pesos para lang dito!


yung malaki lang yan. hindi pa kasama yung mga maliliit na posters.

Fernando to run for prexy sans Lakas support

09/07/2008 | 01:45 PM

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/118727/Fernando-to-run-for-prexy-sans-Lakas-support

MANILA, Philippines - Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will run for president in the 2010 elections with or without the support of Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD).

Why? bakit ba talagang gustong tumakbo ni BF as president? at napaka desperado nyang maging presidente?

In a report over dzBB radio, Fernando was quoted as saying that he will pursue his political ambitions even if the Lakas-CMD would refuse to pick him as the administration’s standard bearer.

Fernando, a former mayor of Marikina City, also reportedly said that should Lakas ignore his presidential bid he will be forced to leave the party and form his own political party.

wow kapal! feeling... san kukuha ng pera si BF para sa election. eh

Earlier reports said Lakas is wooing Vice President Noli de Castro to be the party’s presidential bet in the 2010 elections.

Fernando shrugged off his current poor ratings from the people, saying Lakas has the power to make those ratings favorable towards him.

kung mataas ang rating sa survey ok lang...dedma. sasabihin na totoo yang survey na yon. pero kung kulelat eh magpapalusot. hoy BF kaya ka kulelat kasi kitang kita ng mga tao sa buong pilipinas ang ginagawa mong pag aapi sa mga mahihirap at yung mga gimik mo na kalokohan.

Meanwhile, Fernando’s wife, Marikina City Mayor Maria Lourdes Fernando, said she will no longer seek political post in 2010 and would just dedicate her time to support her husband’s election. - Aie Balagtas See, GMANews.TV

i bet tatakbo for mayor ay yung babaeng anak nila na 28 years old pa lang.

Another (self serving) message from your MMDA chairman

Mechanized street sweeper helps improve Metro’s air quality

The Philippine Star

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=129696

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that air quality along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is improving because of the agency's continuous dust and litter sweeping and vacuuming operations.

nasaan ang independent/third part study na magpapatunay na nag improve ang air quality sa EDSA

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said air circulating in the major thoroughfare which connects the Northern and Southern parts of Metro Manila is now fresher and cleaner.

Wow! sandali lang ha. bubuksan ko lang bintana ng opisina. along EDSA lang kasi....

ubo ubo ubo... shit! kahit linggo ganon pa rin. mausok at amoy mmda urinal pa rin

He said air quality along C-5, Roxas Boulevard and other major roads in Pasay City has also remarkably improved because carbon dust and other pollutants coming from trees and plants and those emitted by vehicle engines are regularly swept and vacuumed by Roadways Cleaning Operations Group (RCOG) personnel using truck-mounted giant sweeping machines as well as gutter and wall cleaners who work round-the-clock on two shifts.

Fernando reported that since the agency launched its massive cleaning and vacuuming operations initially along EDSA along with the crackdown launched by relevant agencies on carbon gas-emitting vehicles, the air that people breathe in these areas is 50 percent cleaner.

geez i can smell the bullshit

He announced that as soon as the ongoing upgrading of sidewalks along Edsa is completed, the RCOG will start to clean walkways regularly and even at night to brush away much dust from gutters and walls of the main thoroughfare.

"Offhand, I can assure everyone that before the year is over, when our sidewalk upgrading program is done, the entire stretch of sidewalks of Edsa would be walkable and people would shun riding jeepneys and buses for short trips," he said.

RCOG chief Francis Martinez said that apart from Metro aides manually sweeping and tending the plants on the road, seven giant mechanized sweepers, three gutter cleaners and four wall cleaners are out in the streets at the break of dawn to clean and vacuum the major roads until 4 p.m.

The second shift of RCOG personnel, with truck-mounted sweepers and cleaners in tow, takes over at 10 p.m. and works until 6 a.m. to clean and vacuum loading and unloading bays, underpasses and tunnels, Martinez said.

He said the difficult and dirtier job of cleaning the street infrastructure is being done by mechanized sweepers due to the spate of road accidents.

main reason bakit mausok ang metro manila. simple.. mga sasakyan. mas mausok sa mga lugar kung saan may u-turn slot kasi sobrang traffic.

by the way nakita ko ito oh. MMDA truck na smoke blecher. hahaha

Bayani won't go to congress

House to force Fernando to attend hearings

By DELON PORCALLA and RHODINA VILLANUEVA
The Philippine Star

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=129761

Two senior House members have filed a resolution that would compel Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Bayani Fernando to attend hearings after he snubbed a recent Commission on Human Rights (CHR) hearing over MMDA’s cases of alleged unlawful evictions of sidewalk vendors.

Its about time

House Resolution 723, authored by Reps. Roilo Golez of Parañaque and Matias Defensor of Quezon City, directs the committee on human rights to hold hearings on human rights violations of the MMDA and force its chairman to rebut the charges.

Fernando, however, shrugged off reports that the two congressmen filed a resolution to question him on alleged human rights violations committed by the agency against sidewalk vendors.

"The proper venue for that is the court. I will only submit myself to investigation or interrogation only if it will be done through court proceedings," Fernando said in an interview.

Investigation nga ito. wala ka bang alam sa batas? may powers ang congress para tawagin mga opisyal ng executive branch. kasama doon si bayani. baka naman akala ni bf monarchy tayo at siya ang hari.

He said "it is already outside the power of Congress to intervene in such matters which... are being treated as a political issue."

ano tawag mo sa mga billboards ni bayani? hindi ba may political motives siya. praning lang si BF.

"Not one of them is even my congressman. They should not interfere on things like this. What they should attend to are the needs of their respective constituents," Fernando added.

The statements of Bayani Fernando only shows he's not fit to be president of the philippines. walang alam sa batas. sus kahit anong committee sa congress pwede kang tawagin. bakit ba ayaw pumunta ni bayani fernando sa congress? ano ba kinatatakot nya? akala ko ba matapang siya. baka naman ang kaya nya lang eh ang mga sidewalk vendors. teka hindi pala nya kaya mga sidewalk vendors. sige nga bayani, punta ka sa quiapo at paalisin mo lahat ng mga vendors doon na nag iisa. hindi mo kasama ang mga goons mo ha. ewan ko lang kung makakauwi ka ng marikina ng buhay.

In a joint statement, Golez and Defensor branded Fernando as "callous" after he continuously refused to answer complaints against the MMDA filed before the CHR by sidewalk vendors and informal settlers in Metro Manila, who have all been victims of the agency’s harsh and "inhuman eviction."

"Fernando… has not attended the hearings before the CHR, showing his disregard not only for the rule of law but also for his responsibility to account and be responsible for his actions and the enforcement and implementation by his men," they said.

di ba ang mga taong may ugaling urbanidad eh masunirin sa batas? eh ano itong ugali ni bayani? bakit ayaw nya pumunta sa mga hearings na ito. may tinatago ba siya? hmmm....

Golez, a known critic of Fernando, said there is a need for a House probe, as he cited a news report in which CHR chairwoman Leila de Lima said the MMDA is being "very highhanded. Their approach is authoritarian, and that is not good. The illegal settlers should be helped, not treated that way. It has become really alarming."

Golez, who belongs to the opposition bloc, said the MMDA "should not employ excessive or unnecessary violence on street vendors and resort to the destruction of their means of livelihood, nor resort to illegal or unlawful means in carrying out their functions."

Defensor, chairman of the House committee on justice, said even the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor, in its report, observed flaws in the conduct by the MMDA of its demolition and eviction operations in urban poor communities.

"The patently harsh and whimsical method by which the MMDA is carrying out its operations constitutes human rights violations," he said.

Fernando’s AM station on hold

Meanwhile, several congressmen have decided to hold in abeyance a legislative franchise sought by the MMDA to put up a nationwide AM radio station , even if the agency’s scope is just within the metropolis.

Ano!?! Meron na ngang radio station ang MMDA at Marikina City, gusto pa nya ng isa. sobra na ito. by the way may nakikinig bang tao sa mga radio stations ng MMDA at Marikina? what a waste of public funds.

DZBF (Radyo ng Marikina 1674 kHz Metro Manila)

The franchise is covered by a bill filed by Fernando’s townmate, Marikina Rep. Del de Guzman.

I bet utos ito ni BF na magfile ng bill ang kanyang townmate

Defensor, Judy Syjuco of Iloilo and Nanette Castelo-Daza of Quezon City and Ruffy Biazon of Muntinlupa City expressed apprehension that Fernando might use it as a campaign vehicle for his presidential bid in 2010 "with or without the support" of his party, the ruling Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats.

Iloilo Rep. Ferjenel Biron, who heads the House committee on legislative franchises, is "doubtful" of the radio station’s objective, as MMDA already has a newspaper known as Pahayagan ng Bayan in which pictures of Fernando are the "main features" of its issues.

kapal talaga. ano akala nya sa taong bayan, tanga?

"We will give him (Fernando) the benefit of the doubt that the proposed radio station is not in pursuit of his political plans," Biron said, who hinted that if ever a franchise is granted to MMDA, the congressional permit will only be confined to Metro Manila.

The lawmakers said that the station could duplicate the functions of existing government broadcast facilities.

The deliberations were also suspended because Fernando did not attend the hearing, no documents were presented to prove the MMDA Council – composed of Metro Manila’s 17 mayors – approved the application for franchise, and the lack of endorsement from the Office of the Press Secretary.

hahaha... BUKING!!!

Is SM Marikina structurally safe?

May article si Jojo Robles ng Manila Standard tungkol sa presidential ambitions ni Bayani Fernando. http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=jojoRobles_aug27_2008 Napaisip ako doon sa part tungkol sa SM Marikina... "Speaking of Bayani’s friends, we wonder if mall magnate Henry Sy isn’t among those people that the MMDA chairman is counting on to provide major funding for his early-bird campaign to become president. That’s because some people in Bayani’s home turf of Marikina City (where Bayani’s wife Marides Carlos Fernando, or MCF, is mayor) are asking why Sy’s newest mall on the eastern bank of the river on Marcos Highway was provided a free off-and-on ramp complex by the government—which is supposedly short of funds for any major infrastructure project that presumably has higher priority. And how true are reports that the contractor for the new SM Marikina mall is none other that Bayani’s own BF Corp.? With Bayani acting as Metro Manila regional development council boss, his wife as the local chief executive providing all the city permits and his construction company building the mall and the taxpayer-funded ramps, you have to wonder if Sy isn’t way up there in the list of Bayani’s most favored."


Safe kaya itong mall na ito? Folks isipin ninyo
1. itong building na ito ay tinayo sa tabi ng Marikina River flood plain. di ba malabot ang lupa sa mga ganitong lugar? at malapit lang ito sa marikina fault line

2. Ito ay ginawa ng BF Constrution. Sabi pa sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko sa Marikina na ang lupa kung saan itinayo ang SM Marikina ay nabili ng SM sa biyenan ni Bayani Fernando.

gulat ako dito ah. sa wakas nagising na rin sa katotohanan yung mga tao dyan sa inquirer.

MANILA, Philippines—It’s a case of too early the hero for Bayani Fernando, it seems. The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman has made his political intentions clear by plastering his face all over MMDA-managed traffic islands and posts some two years before the presidential election, and he is threatening to do the same thing all over the country. The self-promotion is calculated and well-engineered (it’s not for nothing that Fernando is an engineer and construction businessman). It ensures he’ll be in the public’s reckoning when the time to pick presidential candidates comes around. If he does not make it, he can still be in the running as a running-mate or falling short again, as a candidate for the Senate, that chamber of presidential pretenders.

ginagawa na po ni bayani yung pag paplaster ng mga pictures/billboards nya sa buong pilipinas.

http://mgasidecommentsko.blogspot.com/2008/08/where-in-philippines-is-bayani-fernando.html

Fernando is already a pretender and interloper—at the expense of the public. And his pretentiousness knows no bounds. In the run-up to the Ninoy Aquino Day and National Heroes Day, the MMDA distributed stickers and other paraphernalia bearing his name, which means “hero” in English. Motorists put the stickers on their windshields and those who violated traffic rules were reportedly treated leniently by MMDA traffic enforcers. Pressed to explain the stickers, the Land Transportation Office said it’s illegal to put just any sticker on windshields and asked motorists to remove them.

pretender -- panggap

matagal ko nang alam na panggap lang ito si bayani fernando. trapo talaga yan. kita ninyo lumabas na ang tunay na kulay.

interloper -- pakielamero dahil sa sariling madamot na intensyon. lalim naman non. hahaha sorry na.

naisip nyo na ba bakit gustong tumakbo for president si bayani fernando? hmmm.... research mode....

The attempt at self-canonization is both pathetic and sacrilegious. Only the extreme egoist could put himself on the level of patriots and heroes, who are there in the pantheon not by self-aggrandizement but by collective acclamation. And if heroism, in the case of Aquino and others like him, is self-sacrifice and self-immolation, how can Fernando claim to be in their league? He is making martyrs of us all by his insufferable arrogance.

sa pangalan ka lang bayani, bayani... sabi nila bayani ka dahil sa ginawa mo sa marikina... talaga lang ha. ikaw lang ba ang opisyal sa marikina? did you gave credit to those people (kakkapi at kritiko mo) who transformered marikina. heroes are not selfish. ikaw bayani ganon ka ba? ito na itatawag ko sa iyo... Max Alvarado, Paquito Diaz, at Romy Diaz... teka wag na lang. insulto ito kela Max baka dalawin pa ako ng mga yumaong kontrabida.

Parañaque City Rep. Roilo Golez has asked Fernando to junk his presidential ambition. He pointed to recent surveys showing Fernando nowhere near the magic circle of presidential hopefuls. Making fun of Fernando’s propensity to put U-turns at just about every busy street in the metropolis, Golez said, “It’s time he makes a U-turn on his presidential ambition.”

hahaha LOL

The issue is more than popularity and whether or not Fernando has a fighting chance in his presidential bid. The issue is using the people’s money for electioneering. By filling the streets with his self-advertisement, Fernando is using public funds for self-aggrandizement. The widespread and sustained campaign to put his face and name at just about every corner of the metropolis goes way beyond the bounds of public information. Who is paying for his huge tarpaulins hanging along major roads? Who is paying for his provincial trips, including the one in Aklan province where he brought along the MMDA band?

naku hindi tanga ang mga tao. alam na nila kung sino.

In fact, Fernando has gone beyond mere self-promotion. Some eager-beaver senators who harbor presidential ambitions may have suddenly become very visible around the country via giant billboards and print and broadcast advertisements where they espouse their favorite advocacies and pet projects. In some instances, they have become endorsers and image models of skin whiteners and other vanity products. But at least they are not using public funds for their visibility campaign.

This is not to say that Fernando’s very evident electioneering should be stopped, and those of the other tolerated. This is why we join the call of Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago for the Commission on Elections to enforce the Omnibus Election Code of 1985, particularly Sec. 80, which makes it unlawful for any person to engage in an election campaign or partisan political activity, except during the campaign period.

As Fernando and the others have shown, the prohibition against premature campaigning has been blatantly circumvented by self-advertisements disguised as advocacy or lifestyle ads. The presidential hopefuls may not have declared their intentions, but this is specious and a manifestation of bad faith at the least. They have been campaigning all along at the cost of public resources and, in the case of Fernando’s tarpaulin madness, at the cost of public space. All of this vainglorious self-promotion has made Metro Manila a terrible eyesore. Fernando and the other presidential aspirants should stop inflicting their images on the motorists and the general public.

teka trapo ba tawag mo sa kanila?

First out of the nutbox

And the first declared candidate in the 2010 presidential elections is none other than... Bayani Fernando? I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.

Ako naiinis

Finally—and to no one’s surprise—the metropolis’ chief traffic aide, the father of the U-turns and of state-sanctioned bus-jackings, has declared his intentions. Typically, Fernando says he will run for president in the next elections with or without the support of the ruling Lakas-CMD coalition.

All the same, Bayani told an interviewer that he is confident of the endorsement of President Arroyo and other party leaders because he is qualified to be the next “no-nonsense president of this country.” Never mind if his name isn’t even one of those being considered by the coalition for the position.

baka no singing talent president of this country

“I’m the only one of the presidential hopefuls who has declared my intention to run this early,” he declared. As if that would improve his chances of winning.

But Bayani hinted that he already has the money and the organization to run a nationwide campaign. “Even if the party doesn’t pick me, I will continue with the campaign because I have a lot of friends who will help me,” said the MMDA chairman, who likes to be addressed “Secretary Fernando.”

Money: pera ng bayan

organization: MMDA at Marikina City Gov't

But President Fernando? To paraphrase the old joke, I was told when I was young that anyone could become president. With Bayani gunning for the highest office in the land, now I know that to be true.

In a way, we should be grateful that Fernando has announced his candidacy. Being a mere appointed official, he must now resign from his post if he has any shame and sense of propriety—or be fired posthaste by his boss.

Why? Because from here on in, anything Bayani does can and should be interpreted as being done in furtherance of his declared ambition. And he retains an undue advantage over other candidates who do not have taxpayers bankrolling his high profile—including the giant posters of himself that do nothing but add to the billboard forest that blights the city.

Of course, the Omnibus Election Code’s Article IX, Section 66 states that “any person holding a public appointive office or position, including active members of the Armed Forces and officers and employees in government-owned or -controlled corporations, shall be considered ipso facto resigned from his office upon the filing of his certificate of candidacy.” But since Bayani has declared for the presidency this early, he must understand that not all of us taxpayers are among the “friends” he brags about, and some of us will not foot the bill for his overweening ambition.

There is a reason why the law prevents people holding appointive office like Bayani from using their position to further their political plans. And just because he has declared but has not filed his certificate (something he can’t do anyway, because Comelec isn’t accepting any at the moment) doesn’t mean that Bayani can’t launch his campaign using money that he doesn’t own or wasn’t donated to him by his so-called friends.

ano ngayon ang pinagkaiba ni bayani fernando sa iba pang trapo dyan? wala. pareho lang sila

As soon as Bayani steps down, he can campaign all he wants using his own money. But until he does, will the voters please remember that the MMDA chairman is using taxpayer funds and is even getting a salary to get to Malacanang?

Where are those eager-beaver Senate investigators—many of them also undeclared presidential candidates quick to strike down any potential rival in 2010—when you really need them?

* * *

Speaking of Bayani’s friends, we wonder if mall magnate Henry Sy isn’t among those people that the MMDA chairman is counting on to provide major funding for his early-bird campaign to become president. That’s because some people in Bayani’s home turf of Marikina City (where Bayani’s wife Marides Carlos Fernando, or MCF, is mayor) are asking why Sy’s newest mall on the eastern bank of the river on Marcos Highway was provided a free off-and-on ramp complex by the government—which is supposedly short of funds for any major infrastructure project that presumably has higher priority.

hmmm i smell something...

And how true are reports that the contractor for the new SM Marikina mall is none other that Bayani’s own BF Corp.? With Bayani acting as Metro Manila regional development council boss, his wife as the local chief executive providing all the city permits and his construction company building the mall and the taxpayer-funded ramps, you have to wonder if Sy isn’t way up there in the list of Bayani’s most favored.

true nga eh...ito ang link oh...

SM Marikina

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_City_Marikina

Doesn’t the construction of the ramp complex to favor one mall—probably the only mall in the country to receive such preferential treatment from the people who identify priority infrastructure projects—sound suspicious? Especially since the contractor for the project is none other than the one owned conjugally by the two government officials who have the power (and the chutzpah, really) to “facilitate” its construction?

sounds like the voice of bayani fernando

As for the less moneyed people who seem to want to be counted among the friends of the MMDA chairman, how true are the reports buzzing all over the Internet that vehicles that carry the overly large “BAYANI” banners with the flag on them are routinely waved off by MMDA traffic enforcers when they violate traffic laws? And, like the tarpaulins along Edsa and elsewhere that feature Bayani’s face, is taxpayer money being used for these rolling campaign streamers, as well?

To the people who have asked me if the report that traffic aides give stickered vehicles a free pass is true, I routinely reply that I wouldn’t really know. The last thing I would do to my own car is to plaster the name of Bayani along its entire length—and I drive a very small car.

Bayani, of course, has been known to brush aside any criticism of his official acts—especially about their legal aspects. Which should give anyone who considers his candidacy pause.

I get it bakit hindi manakikinig si BF sa mga critics nya. nabingi na siya sa sarili nyang boses. hahaha

But that’s Bayani all over. Except that now that he’s a declared presidential candidate, he must know that he cannot brush aside all questions about his actions, official or otherwise.

No-nonsense president? We should be thankful that the presidency is one of those positions Bayani can’t get appointed to and abuse.

MMDA disowns ‘Bayani’ stickers on buses

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/114616/MMDA-disowns-Bayani-stickers-on-buses

MANILA, Philippines - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Tuesday disowned the "BAYANI" stickers displayed on the windshield of passenger buses.

However, MMDA general manager Roberto Nacianceno admitted the stickers with the words "BAYANI" and the Philippine flag beside it were from the private fund of MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando.

"Pera ni chairman (Fernando) 'yun...sariling pondo ni chairman (That is from chairman Fernando's private fund)," Nacianceno said in an interview with radio dzBB's Mike Enriquez.

ok so pera ni chairman... sino niloko nyo?

The MMDA official said the distribution of stickers was a private effort of Fernando and the MMDA has nothing to do with it.

ano kami mga tanga!

He added MMDA employees were not authorized to distribute it.

"We are not authorizing them to do that (posting of stickers on the buses)," Nacianceno said.

He said only those posters and tarpaulins which indicate "Government Property" or "Printed by MMDA" are funded by the agency.

He believed some private individuals have put on "BAYANI" stickers on their vehicles.

"'Yung iba baka ginagawa na lang at dinidikit on their own (Maybe some, on their own, posted a similar sticker)," Nacianceno said.

talaga lang ha

Fernando had earlier expressed desire to run for president in the 2010 elections. - Amita Legaspi, GMANews.TV




=============================================

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storyPage.aspx?storyId=128497

Motorists, commuters question 'Bayani' stickers

Stickers bearing the word "BAYANI" are on buses plying Metro Manila's roads.

The stickers are synonymous to the word "hero," a fitting tribute as the country commemorates Ninoy Aquino's death anniversary and the upcoming National Heroes' Day.

But "Bayani" is also the name of Manila's traffic czar, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando.

With the long vacation up ahead, passengers could not help but react to it.

"Para saan... Wala pa namang personality si Fernando na magkaganyan di ba?," said commuter Mario Rafael.

"Double purpose siguro.... So OK lang siguro na magdikit ng bayan but not for personal [reasons]. Magpakabayani na lang siya," said commuter Brenda Caingol.

But the Integrated Metropolitan Bus Operators Association (IMBOA) defended the posting of the stickers.

Posted two months ago, it was meant to celebrate the country's independence.

"Kung kay Chairman Fernando yan, marami sigurong operator na natutuwa kay Chairman dahil iba na yung ugali niya ngayon," said IMBOA president Claire de la Fuente.

o baka naman ninyo nilagay para makalusot kayo sa mga MMDA kotong boys

The MMDA admitted they ordered the bus operators to post the stickers, but clarifieed it was not meant for politicking.

Teka..ano nga sabi ni Nacianceno ...."We are not authorizing them to do that (posting of stickers on the buses),"

"Ang inilagay natin ay "Bayani." Nagkataon na ‘yong ating Chairman ay Bayani. Hindi na nila natanggal," MMDA Traffic Enforcement chief Bobby Esquivel.

"Ako, ako mismo nagpalabas kami niyan. Bayani. Eh hindi ko na alam. Siguro ginaya na ng mga tao kasi nagagandahan sila," said Fernando.

so Nacianceno is lying...straight from the gwapo's mouth

Institute for Political and Electoral Reform executive director Ramon Casiple however did not conform with their opinion.

"Lusot siya pero magkakaroon ng epekto yan sa mga botante. Merong mga botanteng maiinis sa ginagawa yan. Ilan diyan pera ng bayan," Casiple said.

in short mr director casiple ginagago ang mga tao ni bayani fernando

A vocal presidential candidate for 2010 polls, Fernando even went as far as Cabanatuan City to boost his popularity.

Cabanatuan motorists earlier thought they were in EDSA, the capital’s main thoroughfare, when they saw his giant posters all over the city, telling the motorists to adhere to traffic rules and regulations. Israel Malasa, ABS-CBN News
