Under his banner Lito Atienza 2010, the former Mayor of Manila is battling his way back at the mayoralty seat after serving a full term as City Mayor and a brief stint as DENR secretary

The former Mayor of Manila who is the record-holder as the only mayor who has completed a full term, is one of the most well-loved leaders in the city’s rich political history. Atienza boasts of having many years of experience in public service, political will, wisdom, leadership stature
and proven and unblemished track record which makes him one of the expected frontrunners in this coming Manila Elections. His resume are testimonies of his achievements and countless completed projects that have benefited the city residents particularly those who are impoverished. His political career which has lasted for more than four decades now is a clear indication on how the former Mayor of Manila has lived his life as a statesman, serving selflessly for the people.

Atienza’s early political vocation started in 1968 as the leader of Democratic Youth Movement, (DEYMO) wherein he became one of those who survived the infamous Plaza Miranda bombing during the Liberal Party’s political rally in 1971. Since then, the former Mayor of Manila had been known as a vocal critic of the Marcos administration.During the Martial Law era, Atienza was put in detention for his role as the leader of Metro Manila
Jeepney Drivers Organization, which was the first ever organization of Jeepney Drivers.Atienza defended the people from the abuses and exposed several human abuses of the Marcos regime including the proposed eradication of jeepneys plying the avenues of Metro Manila as part of Imelda Marcos’ beautification drive.

Despite being vocal about his dismay with the Marcos administration, Atienza was voted as Barangay Captain for ten years after serving as a tanod before which allowed him to listen to the voices and reservations of ordinary people more.The former Mayor of Manila later worked at the Information Office of Manila City Hall under former mayor Ramon Bagatsing and later resigned due to conflict of principles and his work. Atienza would later start a bold journey as he seek a Parliamentary seat despite having no financial support at all. Instead, Atienza relied on his principles and support from his family and friends which were enough to win him a seat in the
Parliament at that time.

His profession as a Parliamentary member of the Batasang Pambansa started in 1984, representing the then vast Congressional District of Manila which include the districts of Paco, Pandacan, San Andres Bukid, Sta. Ana, Santa Mesa. He was known as an staunch supporter and ally of Sen. Ninoy Aquino and one of the key opposition leaders who influenced Cory Aquino to run for president.After Marcos was booted during the People Power Revolution of 1986, the former Mayor of Manila was ordered to head the National Housing Authority where he promoted affordable housing for teachers and policemen.After a brief stint as NHA General Manger, Atienza decided to join the 1988 mayoralty race of Manila where he lost to his then rival Mel Lopez who was supported by President Aquino. Despite a losing effort, his spirit and will to serve was never crushed as he would later run and win as Vice-Mayor in 1992 and 1995.

In 1998 Manila
Elections, Atienza finally broke into the mayoralty seat and successfully created history as the only Vice Mayor who got elected as city mayor. Atienza was celebrated for expressing his strong opposition in the reclamation of the city’s part of Roxas Boulevard/Manila Bay. The former Mayor of Manila was also able to transform and beautify much of entire city’s former tourist attractions along with the lives and welfare of the city folks. Atienza also launched major projects which were aimed to benefit the poor, the older citizens, women and children.

After serving full term as Manila Mayor, Atienza was appointed as the DENR secretary under President Arroyo. As DENR secretary, Atienza started massive actions to implement the ill-executed Clean Air Act.Atienza also invested his efforts on giving a new life to the country’s rivers and lakes, partnering with several environment groups including the Laguna Lake Development Authority and ABS-CBN Bantay Kalikasan. He
has also gone after illegal logging operations in the countryside and has also ordered the closures of open dumpsites as part of his drive in protecting our country’s natural resources.

Former Mayor of Manila Lito Atienza’s unblemished political stint and achievements are clear testaments to his passion in being a public servant and being a true statesman. Atienza deserves to win the Manila Elections anew due to his outstanding achievements as a public servant and his vast experience and knowledge on being a true statesman who works for the greater good of people. Under his banner Lito Atienza 2010, Atienza hopes to continue his work
for Manila’s folks.
