Is Bayani Fernando Politicking?
The Philippine Daily Inquirer Editorial today describes MMDA’s current campaign for “beautification” as “Ugly.” It points out the complaints that Bayani Fernando is clearly politicking by dressing up the entire Metro with posters prominently displaying his face and name:
No one can be so naive as to believe this is nothing more than a campaign to educate citizens. It has politics written all over it, just like Fernando’s long-running radio ads on a similar theme. All are plainly political propaganda intended for Fernando’s self-promotion. And he is doing it all at taxpayers’ expense.
The Inquirer then points out that it is just not Fernando who is already campaign for name recall and the voters’ allegiance for the 2010 elections. The more pressing question they post is how much of the politicking is done using the taxpayers’ own money?
As the Inquirer points out, shouldn’t the Office of the Ombudsman be concerned about such thing? And shouldn’t the Commission on Elections also start moving to ensure that the politicians are fighting fairly and LEGALLY? Moreover, why aren’t there enough civil society groups raising arms over this?
Instead of going the old Philippine politics way of campaigning for popularity, why shouldn’t our dear wannabe presidents and future legislators raise the bar and earn mileage and voters’ attention by sincerely discussing issues, debating on important topics, and going out to hear out what the people need and want?
There are sooo many issues to deal with, but there’s so little time and apparently, too few people who care enough.

My family and I lived for a year in Marikina City. Marikina is not just the shoe capital, as our HS textbooks say. The place is clean. The public market uses digital scales. Vacuum machines clean the public market. Everything is painted pink. Before our People’s Park, Marikina has a Riverbanks Park. Bayani cleared the place of squatters. Bayani transformed a once decrepit textile plant into a Shopping and Recreation Complex, employing thousands. Now, SM is building a mall there. Marikina has a successful waste segregation program. People only bring their garbage when the truck is there, on schedule. They have a big Sports Complex. Marikina does not have tall buildings because it is under a fault line. But the City earns 1.6 billion in taxes. Its real asset? Investments? No. Bayani? No. It is their people. It’s discipline. We can call it politics. Yes. But if that’s what is necessary to get it done, then by all means, we need it.
I think the posters of Bayani in the streets of Metro Manila is not an ethical strategy for 2010 Presidential elections. Where did he sourced out the expenses for those posters? from the MMDA? it means hes using the taxes of the filipino people for his own interest. thats bad and thats corruption

Nice and very easy thing to say. But didn’t you notice that good public servants are not covered by the mass media? Pols that are covered are only those that with huge campaign funds. BF is not covered unless there is something negative to say. The question is, is there any other way for BF?
Filipinos need a VALIANT AND VERSATILE Leader with a strong will to govern. We need BF for president because he will lead our country into a tremendous triumph! By speeding up the progress here in the Philippines, just like what he did to Marikina, a city before was a SLUM but now recognized as “ONE OF THE MODEL CITIES OF THE WORLD”.
Because a country with an INTELLIGENT, EXPERIENCED, AND A STRONG LEADER can lead it’s people into TRIUMPH!!
BAYANI IS A TRUE POLITICAL LEADER!!
GIVE JUSTICE TO PHILIPPINES..
CRUSHED OUR ENEMIES(CORRUPTION, IGNORANCE, INDIFFERENCE)
Nice ryan! yO
Nice ryan! yOUR comment best represent what I want to say! Go Ryan! Go BAyani!! Keep disciplining the people, for the philippines has a nice and glorious future! “_”
Is BF politicking? He should! Politicking is not absolutely bad if it brings order and discipline and makes people safe and productive. If you ask my opinion, BF actually delivers most, if not all, of these. If he’s a hardcore politicians like most people in Congress, then he doesn’t have to do all the dirty and unpopular job in MMDA like relocating people in the esteros.
Did the Inquirer Editor offer any other idea of how a hardworking public servant like BF can have a better media exposure than those actors and actresses that end up getting elected in the Senate of higher offices of responsibility but don’t do anything but waste the taxpayer’s hard earned money. If you ask my opinion, I’d rather “waste” my money on BF…:)
I think the “MESSIAH” of the Philippines is coming, you just wait!
Bayani Fernando, I salute you!
Nacionalist ! I agree w/ you 100% parang si Bayani Fernando na ang hulog ng Langit.Si BF ang makapagbabago ng buhay ng Pilipino.Mahirap maghanap ng ganitong klaseng tao.Bilyonario subalit gusto pa ring magsilbe sa atin.Susugal na ako kay BF for the last time.Gusto kong mag retire sa sariling Bayan.Mayaman,Middle class at mahirap.Pag tulongan na natin ito.The Messiah is coming! Bayani Fernando! Mabuhay Ka!

La na! magreretire na siya.
Bayani Fernando..Pah!…He cannot even clean the air of Manila, now he thinks he can CLEAN the air of Philippines (by “air”, I mean the literal and metaphorical). Even Villar is hinting to do so..His prime time show of helping OFWs are really irritating..He thinks that we Filipinos should be grateful to him because he saves our “modern day heroes” of their sad plight abroad; as if someone asked him to do so! On the contrary, is it not that as a public servant, it his PRIME DUTY to Serve and Protect his country, and by that we should not thank him just as we do not thank our garbage collectors when they collect our rotten filth?..And oh, does anyone seriously think that what he pays to ABS-CBN when he airs his goodwill, comes from his own pocket? Ha! I hope I’m wrong: it is funded by the Senate, by our very own TAXES! Everything is absurd nowadays, and it is time that we consider, whether or not we should still hold elections!…Leaders who rely on that idiotic tube for their success..a pity compared to the ancients..
whenever i see fernandos posters, i’am always reminded of the george orwell’s novel 1984. anyway, he is obviously politicking and he must think that we filipinos are so dumb for him to have the guts and say that those are not campaign posters and he is not using government funds
Bayani Fernando for President!!!!! the best presidentiable candidate there is!
Bayani Fernando is what we need for the stubborn Filipinos to be desciplined. Go Bayani Go!!!
Who cares if Bayani Fernando is politicking? It doesn’t matter what he does, the point is, we need to descipline stubborn Filipinos through some sort of reminder here and there. If people think he’s politicking, well it’s their opinion and unfortunately, not everybody do share the same opinion with them. Bayani is still the best Presidentiable. Amen!
@Shaila:
I do not see the point of posting multiple comments, wherein one should suffice.
Anyways, nobody cares whether or not Bayani is “politicking”. What we care about really is the deception he represents. Now if we agree that “politcking” is synonymous with “being a liar”, then you must agree that “politicking is ok”; or “being a liar doesn’t matter…”. Anyway, who, in the short history of Philippine Politics, was consistently truthful? Perhaps, 2, 3, 9 10. But that does not matter.
The fact that he thinks he can Govern the Philippines, is what inspires spite. He [Bayani] is surely suffering a most terrible, vile, and poisonous a hallucination.
Hey Davaoeno! Alam mo bang makataga Southern Philippines din yung mga sidewalk vendors, mga nakatira sa Slum area. Napaka unlikely naman na taga Luzon ang mga yan kasi ang mga families dito ay in tact at di watak watak alam namin kung sino ang mga kamag anak namin at it’s very unlikely na mag “SQUAT” ang taga Luzon, e kung may tirahan kami dito na mga karamihan dito ay minana pa sa mga ninuno!
Kung ganon kaya ka against kay BF, dahil isa ka rin STUPID na katulad na mga ka lahi mo!
Noon maganda ang Manila at any parts of NCR, noon may kinikilalang batas, pero NAMPUCHA TALAGA KAYO DITO! GINAWA NIYO NANG ISANG MALAKING SLUM AREA OR SHALL WE SAY EXTENSION NG KABISAYAHAN!
Umalis na lang kayo dito! PWEDE!
At the other thing, Hindi naman kinilala ni RIZAL, ANG PAMBANSANG BAYANI AT NI ANDRES BONIFACIO , ANG LIDER NG KKK, NA PARTE KAYO NG PILIPINAS!
LOSERS! FOOLS!
Davaoeno… you live in Davao, I don’t think BF covers that part.
Hehehe, okay, i just had to say that. you might actually live in metro manila and just come from there.
Doesn’t every political figure do ‘politicking’? All those senators in commercials, jeez. What makes BF stand out is that he does things that he will get criticized for, yet it helps. The canceling of the U-turns in Katipunan worked, the overpasses help. Once again, the Filipino mentality on focusing on the negative overpowers the positive.
@tagalog
Judging from your remarks I think you should visit a mental institution soon.
@rich
Yes, I live in Davao, and never been to Manila. Perhaps it is true “that all politcians are politicking” (It doesn’t even need mentioning since the statement is the same with “All drivers are driving”.) Anyway, you might be right that “I am focusing on the negative”, but that is not an exclusive mentality of the filipinos (now, i am not sure if I’m a Filipino, since our friend, tagalog, despises the idea that i am). What I’m doing is criticizing – you see, for me Bayani is just a small sample of the total filth of this country (“filth” in the political sense).
Anyway, what is the present job of Bayani? Basically, he is a street-sweeper. He “cleans” manila. Now do you think a street-sweeper could govern us?
“but that is not an exclusive mentality of the filipinos” should read
but that mentality is not exclusive to the the filipinos.
@ BISAYANG DAVAOENO!
Filthy,Filthy ka pa dyan, e isa ka nang FILTHY!
Mental Institution?! hmmmm… noon may SANITY DITO! Pero puro KABABUYAN NA AT PERO ASWANG NA, nang pumunta ang mga kalahi mo dito!
Saka,Bisaya, DON’T BLAME ME FOOL! FOR I’M JUST TELLING NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!
Huwag mo akong sisihin, sabihin mo sa mga kalahi mo na Huwag na nilang pagsiksikan ang sarili nila dito at huwag narin kayong magtayo ng MGA BAHAY-BAHAYAN NINYO SA TERITORYO NAMIN!
At hindi namatay ang mga BAYANI namin para PUTAKTIHIN NIYO LANG ANG PINAGLABAN NA BANSA!
AND PLEASE FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE, TELL YOUR FUCKING FILTHY PEOPLE, That They should STOP MULTIPLYING LIKE RATS!
Saka ang totoong PILIPINO ay ginagamit ang ISIP! AT MAY DANGAL!
Pumunta ka dito, makikita mo ang SINASABI KO!
MGA INVADERS, MGA UNCIVILIZED, UNWANTED PEOPLE ANG MGA BISAYA DITO!
Sana may kidlat na tatama at tutupok sa inyo!
SHIT-EATERS!
At Davaoeno. napaghahalata kang bisaya kasi SINUNGALING KA!
Sabi mo ; You have never been in here! But you also said earlier
Davaoeno: “He cannot even clean the air of Manila”.
Even a Grade-6 student could see some traces of hypocrisy!
Don’t you think so?!
And how biased are you to accused him of just being a street-sweeper!
HE IS A LOT MORE THAN THAT!
Well, because YOU are BIASED AND A LIAR, You wouldn’t or you don’t want to know! KEEP YOU MIND OPEN! OK! Masyado ka nang nagiging BISAYA!
And for the record! Davaoeno!
I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND! AND YOU CAN NEVER BE!
@tagalog
Yes, I’ve never been to manila. But I am endowed with the ability to read, hear, and communicate – and that is the reason why I knew that the air there is, well, if I may use the term – filthy. Yes I am biased; but I don’t know if I lied to you, since, I never claimed to know the truth – which you claimed to be familiar with.
Anyway, I do not care if Bayani wins or not (to me, his humored candidacy is irrelevant) – what I’m interested about is whether or not we should still hold elections. You see, Tagalog, (I hope you’d notice my cold tone) voters of the quality of your reasoning are many – too many; likewise are the types of “politicians” which Bayani represents. From there, you know the consequences, it need not saying.
My family & all our friends will campaign for Bayani Fernando in Dumaguete City. No need for Bayani to send us money for campaigning materials. We will volunteer and we’ll do all these for FREE because we want BAYANI FERNANDO to WIN the Presidency. Of all the Presidentiables, he is the best and the BEST government employee we have TODAY! wether we like it or not, the evidence is there.
bayani fernando is without a doubt suffering from a very infectious and terrible form of hallucination. he needs medication; what else is worse than that of supposing that just because i have “cleaned” and “developed” manila, i can also do likewise for the philippines?
@ Davaoeno
I think the answer to your question:
IS YES HE CAN DO IT ALSO FOR THE PHILIPPINES!
@ Alex Iyoy
You always assume that Manila IS the Philippines. I mean no distancing here – we are all Filipinos. But Bayani – running this country? the idea! He even did not succeed in “developing” and “cleaning” Manila. Ha. One cannot fool himself about that. So why all these non-sense and ambitions of power?
And one thing. The beauty of suffrage and liberty is that you can choose not to vote. To choose not to vote at all is better than to religiously vote just because one is told that “the concrete manifestation of a democratic country is to allow its citizen to vote; and by that doctrine one must necessarily vote”. Given a Bayani Fernando and, say, a Mr. Villar – I’d rather not vote than to “exercise my freedom”. Freedom is dangerous. And I say all those who support Bayani and all his ambitions to power is putting this country in grave danger. It’s a sad fact that there are such voters. Why not abolish that form of “exercise of freedom”, then?
@ davaoeno
What is your ideal voter, then? Like those dumbnuts ignorant voters who voted Erap?! And to have a Freedom comes with a great responsibility! It’s not dangerous but sometimes used as a weapon for mindless alibis! The Filipino people must be lead by a RIGHTEOUS, SKILLED, HAS STRONG POLITICAL WILL, Such as Bayani Fernando!
Hey Guys just ignore Davaoeno! Just simply excommunicate this low-life bastard! Obviously, he does not understand a shit!
LONG LIVE BAYANI FERNANDO!
@Alex Iyoy
Well, “my ideal voter” is the kind who thinks that it is not anymore sensible to vote; especially at the rate of petty-politics dominating the Philippines. European politicians envision Europe 100 years from now. But with ours, FOR THE NEXT ELECTIONS (which is simply 3 years in interval). Now do you think “an ideal voter” is possible at all at this rate of “thinking, willing, and deciding for the Philippines”? It’s just crap. Really.
@Francis V
Ha. Being “excommunicated” (a religous term) is simply perfect. If you “excommunicate” me from a group of supporters of a petty-politician, well and good; that is, to me, a favor. Ignore me at your own peril. I came here to warn and convince; denounce me and that is to me a natural reaction. After all, deceiving is an elusive art which your bet seemed to perfect.
For those who are interested as to “who is this Bayani Fernando”, simply go to
wikipedia. Search his name. And you will find the “Nobility” in the blood of this guy. Simply, he is a “technician” – a mechanical engineer. (let it be understood that i am not against, or, do not despise that profession; to me that is decent enough.)
But what! Just because he built some “Inns for the transient” he thinks he can rule the country – really, the idea! the guts! the ambition! Ha. And the funny part was that there are people who took his “accomplishments” as great politics! where in fact, even an influential baranggay captain could do that!
Guys, think! think! Then after that, ignore everything I’ve said.
ha. so i’ve heard that bayani was here in davao. the idea! his illusion of directing this nation has really gotten worse. someone, or something, must awake him of this very distressing disease which he has. i certainly detest him; but that is not relevant – he must be cured, lest this whole nation will be infected by his vile ambition.
Mga kasama, pagpasensyahan nyo na itong si Davaoeno..may konting sayad to..pinahuli ko nga minsan yan dahil gusto nyang gahasain ang lola nya.
Of course we real Davaoenos will vote for Bayani Fernando.. parang si Duterte din kasi yan eh…
Wag nyo na lang pansinin itong si Davaoeno..di tunay na taga davao yan..tignan mo mag rason.. parang taga mandaluyong (loob).. ang tatay nyan eh taga Muntinlupa (loob)…at ang nanay nya ay taga bocaoe (sa gabi)
Ikinahihiya namin yan…
@Roger Duterte
Oh, so you are a Duterte. I cannot be more proud. Unfortunately, the temper and quality of your reasoning does not, even slightly, shed some light on this topic, and what is more, it does not even associate you with, say, a decent man (I would loath to admit, but your reasoning really raises in me a suspicion as to your real descent).
“Of course we real Davaoenos will vote for Bayani Fernando.. parang si Duterte din kasi yan eh…”, as if you really knew our Mayor (if you are from Davao, that is), or you knew Bayani. To compare two politicians (or leaders), would be a gross insult to either of them.
What is certain is that Duterte (the Mayor) is ten times more capable than Bayani; but he did not even tried national politics (there was only once, but that was as a House Member, which lasted only a term, because, again, he did not seem to be interested in national politics). As for his real reasons, that I do not really know. But it simply shows that he is not in a delusion. Our beloved Mayor is, of course, irreplaceable in the relatively short history of our city. Without him, Davao would not be as it is; that cannot be doubted.
But enough of him, he is certainly not the subject of this discussion.
As for Bayani, I do not know him. Well, he appears (dances and sings) on national television (at entertainment shows). Now, is that the kind of leader you wish to advocate? He dances, sings – simply put: he wears a mask; he disguises himself as something entertaining and worthy of admiration. But why do that? Why spend some time on some stupid noontime shows which only those with television see (precisly, those who would want to waste their time)? Why not, rather, form an organization, work on some first principles of governance; plan the financial strategy for the next fifty years; or envision Philippines 20 years hereafter. Judging from Bayani’s current methods, is he capable of that? I certainly doubt, sir.
Ha! Enough of cheap politics! Only the mediocre do that; certainly not someone who is capable of greatness, which this nation badly needs.
Unfortunately, you have not stated any reasons why we should advocate and support Bayani. What you simply did was to attack my person and character (the manner of which is vulgar, and does not even slightly afford any literary respect), which is not in anyway relevant here (well, you may dislike my approach, but that is a matter of preference).
P.S.
Ug kung taga-dabaw gyud ka, tubag ngari sa puron sinibuano. Hubara lang sa ininglis aron masabtan sa uban.
Ha. It occurred to me that you were trying to impersonate our Mayor. FYI sir, the name is not “Roger” but “Rody” (or “Rudy”), “Rodrigo” to be complete. (But that is, if your name is not really as you stated)

“A sos bagan gusto nako si Bayani he he he! nindot nang makita sa action dili kon puro ra sulti tapos wayay buhat. Jaoy naglaong dinhi na hibayo si Bayani what is wrong and what is right, so I think vote ako kang Bayani. Think Davao kon dili pa si Doterte puguso nga mopa-implementar sa balaod nija so mopareha ra sa Cebu o Manila dili ta kalakaw nga mag-alahas. Daghan naglaong na during Marcos dili man kuno amo ini kapobre ang Pilipinas kay ikaduha man kuno ang Pilipinas sa Japan sa panahon ni Marcos, inday sab lamang kay dili man ako expert nan ini mga paghitabo.”
Kaming mga bisaya nga mga taga Dumaguete, kay Bayani Fernando pod mi, kay siya lang man ang among nakita nga sincero sa iyang trabaho, sa iya lang namo nakita ang pagbag-o sa itsura sa Metro Manila. Therefore, si Bayani Fernando lang ang makahimo sa pagbag-o sa tibuok Pilipinas. Kung e-compare siya sa uban presidentiables, wala silang tanan sa kalingkingan ni Bayani Fernando, unsa ba ang ilang nahimo? wala! kundi mangurakot sa pundo sa gobyerno ug puro lang dakdak pang media mileage para lang mailad napod nila ang mga botante nga mga ignorante.
“Bayani Fernando, unsa ba ang ilang nahimo? wala! kundi mangurakot sa pundo sa gobyerno ug puro lang dakdak pang media mileage para lang mailad napod nila ang mga botante nga mga ignorante.”
Kay ngano, wala ba mugawas si Bayani sa telebisyon? Atong layu-layu pa ang piniliay, wa man giyud na migula si Bayani sa tv, nganong karon ra man? Ang iyang pagka-”artista” di giyud mapugngan, Nan, usa ra siya ka “artista”.
(Why, did he not appear on television recently? As the election approaches, the more are his tv appearances. The actor in him cannot just be suppressed. Consequently, he is a mere actor. )
“kay siya lang man ang among nakita nga sincero sa iyang trabaho, sa iya lang namo nakita ang pagbag-o sa itsura sa Metro Manila”.
Kay nausab ba diay ang Manila? Bisag kinsa imong pangutan-on nga mipuyo ngadto ug kadali, nga dili giyud didtua nag.tubo, di ika.limud ang, pananglit, ka.maot sa hangin, ug uban pang butang nga importante sa atong kahimsog. Di mn gani niya maharos ug limpyo ang Manila, nangandoy na hinuon siya nga limpyuhan ang tibuok Pilipinas! And ideya!
(Did manila “change”? Did it “progress”? If you’ll ask anybody who’d lived there for a while, but not originally from there, he will not deny the filth and stench of the air there; the contaminated drinking water; the reckless bus drivers, indifferent to pedestrians; and all those small things which are essential to our mental and physical health. He cannot even completely clean Manila, now he aims to do it on the Philippine Archipelago! The idea! )
Kung duna may angay nga himuon si Bayani, ang pagbalik sa Marikina na to. Gipagawas lng bag.uhay sa t.v ang namatay (o kamatyanon pa?) nga industriya sa sapatos. Kung itandi atong 60′s, usa sa pinaka-kusog ug pinaka-dako nga industriya kato sa Pilipinas, nga makita lng sa Marikina. Pero asa nman karon? Wala na. Kato ang dapat salbahon ni Bayani. Kung iya tong ma.pabuhi ug balik, basig mutuo na ko nga duna pd diay ika.buga si Bayani. Ang pinka.unang comment ani nga aritculo, mi.ingon nga nindot ang Marikina atong si Bayani ang nagpadagan. Wa koy maingon ani; basing maayo jd diay siya sa iyang pagka-mayor. Pero pagka-presidente, dili siguro. Ug usa pa, naa mn sa katawhan ang pag.bag-o. Pero unta dili mahilu.an ang katawhan sa mga gidamang tawo sama aning Bayani.
(If there is some task appropriate for him, it is to rescue Marikina. Recently in tv, the shoe industry was described as dead. Back in the 60′s it was the largest and promising industry. But that was gone. If Bayani can restore that industry, then I may reconsider my opinions about him. Till then, he can prove that he is not to be bribed by smugglers, and that he can provide jobs for the “tiange” industry even if the products are locally manufactured. The first comment on this article noted the beauty of Marikina when Bayani was still the Mayor. I cannot contend that. After-all, it is the people who’d determine the prosperity of one’s locality or nation. But lest that great event, the unity and hard-work of a people, should be prevented by some personal-ambition-driven individuals, by some “politically” delirious individuals, (to which Bayani is the perfect representative.), I will repeatedly warn others.
Kami nga taga Northern Samar, an amon gud ig kokumpanya sini nga eleksyon nga ini si BAYANI FERNANDO. Damo ang gin himo niya nga maupay sa mga tawo. An akon atud nga board member san segunda distrito dinhi, susugarun ko nga ini nga si BAYANI ng gud an himunon ta nga prisidinti. Susugarun kao ta an usa ko pa nga patud nga si former governor Madeeliine Mendoza Ong, na niyan miyor san Laoang nga mangumpanya na gud kami kan Bayani. Davaeno..sangkay na gud kita kay nahikulwan namo nga baga buotan ka na kay BAYANI..si Bayani, tingali Bisaya ini..Kulawa BAY INI….
Sa Manila, kita nga Cebuano, Waray ngansin Ilonggo, Bisaya an ngaran sa aton….Si BAY INI an aton kandidato…MAISUG SA KURAPSYON, BUUTAN SA MGA BISAYA.
@Fred Dulay
I’m sorry cannot fully understand your language. I only speak cebuano.
Again, if you vote Bayani, I will hold you accountable for the impending final destruction of our nation if he should, God forbid, take an oath as the President.
p.s
To those commenting in a language other than English, please (freely) translate it so that others could follow. This request goes to tagalog speakers as well.
I am also against Bayani Fernando running for presidency on 2010. Yes, he was capable of ‘cleaning’ and making Metro Manila ‘gwapito’ already. But do you think painting the city blue and pink enough to make him suitable to be the next president of our country?! Think again people.
To those who support Bayani Fernando for President, this is a worldwide campaign for BF, please do vote for him here http://apps.facebook.com/philelection/default.aspx?ref=nf thanks for all the support! We are getting close to Malacanang Palace, way to go!
