Peoples Movement Against Poverty (PMAP) chairman Ronald Lumbao endorsed the candidacy of comebacking Manila Mayor Lito Atienza and the rest of the candidates of “Buhayin ang Maynila” ticket during a kick-off rally in Sampaloc Manila the other night.
Lumbao expressed confidence in the competence of Atienza and his team, saying they are very much capable of improving the quality of life of the Manilans, especially the poor residents.
He stressed that he chose to support the return of the former Environment secretary to the mayoralty of the city of Manila because they share the same vision for the poor.
Lumbao added that it is Atienza, not Mayor Alfredo Lim, who has the genuine heart for the poor.
He said Lim had failed to make good his promises during the 2007 elections that he would initiate programs that would alleviate the poor from poverty.
"Mayor Lim is a liar. When he ran in 2007, he promised Manilans that he would provide them with jobs, businesses and other livelihood opportunities. But none of those promises were fulfilled. In three years, he has done nothing to help his constituents, especially the impoverished families," he said.
PMAP is one of the biggest groups which has been fighting to improve the plight of the poor. It has also endorsed the candidacy of comebacking President Joseph Estrada.
“Of all presidents, it was only during the administration of former President Estrada that the poor were truly prioritized. We want him to become president again so that he can continue his programs for the masses,” he said.
Apart from Lumbao, Estrada also repeatedly expressed disgust over Lim's failure to fulfill his commitment with the people of Manila.
Estrada said Lim is a liar who did not honor his word and broke his promises to the city residents soon after he won the 2007 elections.
