Chairman Bayani F. Fernando was born on July 25, 1946 in San Juan, Metro Manila.
He is married to the present Mayor of Marikina City, the Honorable Maria Lourdes
C. Fernando. He is a licensed Mechanical Engineer who has acquired his managerial
skills from the company he has established – the BF Group of Companies,
a steel fabrication, general construction and manufacturing business. His success
in private business coupled with his aspiration to help people, motivated him
to pursue a career in government.
Chairman Fernando ran for public office and became mayor of
Marikina City in 1992. Because of the significant transformation of Marikina
City from a “rape capital” into one of the country’s model
cities, he was re-elected as Mayor for two consecutive terms.
The Chairman was conferred with 55 major regional and national
awards during his incumbency as Mayor of Marikina City. Among the major awards
are: The Outstanding Filipino (TOFIL) Awardee for Government Service in 1998,
conferred by the Phil. Jaycee Senate and Insular Life Assurance Company; the
Philippine Quality Award in 1999, Silver Award / Proficiency Level for Organizational
Excellence, given by DAP / DTI; and the Galing Pook Hall of Fame Award for
his various programs in Marikina City.
