When Lito Atienza said he would no longer be a member of 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 most definitely one of the most powerful 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 chief of the Department of Public Services. He was a decorated public servant who would even get up from bed in the middle of the night just to help troubled neighbors. His uncle, Herminigildo Atienza, also served as appointed Manila Mayor himself right after the Manila achieved liberation after the war. He was a very good mayor who was considered as one of the biggest influences in the founding of the legendary Liberal Party of Philippine politics.
Lito Atienza had a childhood among the ruins of the city of manila, walked through the neighborhoods that was but a patchwork 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 dreamt that he would eventually join 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. Though their family was not very rich, they were hardworking which enabled Lito to enter into formidable schools. The Atienza family exhibited faithfulness and feared God properly. These family values and 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 believed that no wealth could ever be at par with the heritage of good name backed up with a good education. Lito also had many friends and constantly persevered in order to reach his goals. He engaged in manual labor jobs and rode free along classmates with cars without shame because he firmly believed in hard work as the bridge to our goals.
Lito Atienza would definitely enhance his legacy in Philippine politics by running for mayor. By all accounts, being the Manila Mayor would be best 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.
