		Fernando also told Echiverri that he had no knowledge of issuing a disparaging statement regarding the matter to members of the media or to the press which is tantamount to picking a fight with the local chief executive.
		Meanwhile, Fernando is set to meet with mayors from the metropolis this coming Friday to discuss the agency’s charter in an effort to resolve stalemates and disagreements between his office and local government units.
		Fernando is hopeful that his agency will be able to gather important input from the local chief executives to resolve issues stemming from Republic Act 7924, or the law creating the MMDA during the March 3 workshop to be held at Wack Wack Golf and Country Club.

		The ouster of Bayani Fernando as public works secretary was a move to make way for the return of former Justice Secretary Hernando Perez into the President Arroyo’s Cabinet, Senator Panfilo Lacson revealed Monday.
		Fernando retained his post at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) after Malacanang announced his resignation, which the MMDA chief confirmed in a radio interview.

		Fernando first blazed into prominence among Metro Manila private motorists and middle-class crowd, when as mayor, he drove off small hawkers and vendors from his city’s streets, apart from running by typical Metro Manila standards an efficient traffic operation.
		Despite Fernando’s harsh crackdown on sidewalk vendors, many hawkers continue to ply their wares in the nooks and crannies of the urban jungle, fighting what appears to be a guerrilla war of survival against the Fernando police.

	Chess with Bayani Fernando - Jun. 07, 2003
		In their hurry to widen the road beginning in mid-May, purportedly to ease traffic before classes open in the Diliman university area in Quezon City, MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando and his general manager Robert Nacianceno have been employing fair means and foul, like operating under heavy monsoon rains to avoid protesters.
		Knowing it's been torture for the hero of Marikina City to be lectured by academe under a barrage of media sniping, vice chancellor Gotianco asked Fernando at the Palace dialogue why he hadn't bothered to explain a scheme of long-range consequence to Metro Manila the way he did as mayor of Marikina.
		Nothing but pride and stubbornness prevents Fernando from realizing on his own that a solution to this dilemma lies in the deeper strata of his own stated ideal - "urbanidad" [urbanity], refinement and elegance at ease in a civilized social order born of and nourished by Nature, in case he has forgotten.
