When Lito Atienza announced that he would quit the Cabinet in order to run for Manila Mayor in the upcoming elections, voters were certainly gifted with a great choice for the leader of the city. Lito Atienza is certainly a staple in Philippine politics and is gifted with a formidable family background. A lot of his kin are in themselves prominent members of the history of Philippine politics. Due to this, it could be rightfully proclaimed that LIto is truly the best choice for the post of Manila Mayor.
The father of Lito Atienza, Jose Atienza Sr, or Pepe was the top leader of the Department of Public Services. He was an honored public servant who would even get up in the middle of the night just to help troubled neighbors. His uncle, Herminigildo Atienza, was appointed Manila Mayor in his own right after the independence of the city. He was an amazing mayor who was considered as one of the stalwart influences in the founding of the legendary Liberal Party of Philippine politics.
Lito Atienza grew up in a devastated city of Manila that was but a bunch of ruins, walked through the neighborhoods that was but a collection of debris and even swam on the waters of Manila Bay. He would be the perfect Manila Mayor because he grew up in the city in which he dreams to lead. He envisioned that he would eventually put his hat into Philippine politics, elevate the city of Manila into a greatness which will make the ashes of the war a mere afterthought. By entering the elections for the position of Manila mayor, he can now fight for his dream task of trying to place Manila back to the pedestal where it belongs.
Lito Atienza is certainly highly competent to become Manila Mayor. He had his primary and secondary education in Ateneo de Manila University and added a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Santo Tomas. Despite the fact that their family was monetarily rich, they were hardworking which enabled Lito to enter into the top schools. The Atienza family exhibited faithfulness and feared God properly. This mixed background of family values and fundamental religious aspects are certainly very important for the position of public servant in Philippine politics.
Definitely best qualification of Lito Atienza is his bespectacled good name. His father Pepe firmly set foot that no wealth could ever be at par with the value of a good name backed up with a good education. Lito also had numerous friends and mostly persevered in order to reach his goals. He would take menial labor positions and even rode along the cars of his more well to do classmates because he firmly believed in hard work as the bridge to our goals.
Lito Atienza would certainly add to his colored history in his participation in Philippine politics by running for mayor. Being the Manila Mayor would be most revering for him and for the city of Manila given his heritage with the place. He experienced not only his life here, but also lived it in community with his family in the city which he envisions to prosper. If he wins, it will truly be for everyone's benefit if we give him a chance to fulfill his dreams of the city for us.
Lito Atienza is the most deserving to become Manila's mayor. He grew from a revered family in Philippine politics and already has vast experience himself as a politician. If elected, he would be living out his dream of becoming Manila Mayor, and leading the city to success. The inhabitants of the city would certainly be rewarded if they decide to make him the next mayor.
