Bayani Fernando reveals blueprint for Philippines

Proud of being an engineer with a blueprint for the Philippines, Bayani Fernando, running mate of Senator Richard Gordon, is gearing up for his biggest political project to date. He is all eyes on the vice presidency and, unlike rivals for the post, is not interested in any Cabinet portfolio in case he wins.

This Wednesday (Jan 27) on ‘Probe Profiles,’ Fernando talks about his plans to transform the country by focusing on two basic features of governance: enforcing the law and instilling discipline. He cites his track record as three-term mayor of Marikina and chairman of the Metro Manila Development Authority as proof that what the country needs is a leader with political will.

In a one-on-one interview, Probe Profiles’ host Cheche Lazaro examines the self-styled Mr. Political Will, who critics believe fits the mold of a dictator. She asks Fernando about his personal circumstances, including allegations that his family businesses benefited from contracts inked while he was in office.
