History

• February 27, 1975. President Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Decree 824 creating the Metropolitan Manila Commission (MMC). It integrates the Philippine capital Manila and adjacent Quezon City with 2 cities and 12 municipalities of the province of Rizal and 1 municipality of the province of Bulacan. Marcos appointed his wife Imelda Marcos as governor and Ismael Mathay, Jr. as vice-governor. The office was located in front of GMA-7 TV station on EDSA corner Timog Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.

• January 9, 1990. President Corazon Aquino issued Executive Order No. 392, in accordance to Article 18, Section 8 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, creating Metro Manila Authority (MMA). The Metro Manila mayors will choose from themselves as chairman. Jejomar Binay of the municipality of Makati served as its first chairman. The agency transferred its office to Guadalupe, Makati. Binay was followed by Ignacio Bunye of municipality of Muntinlupa in 1991, Ismael Mathay, Jr. of Quezon City in 1992 then Prospero Oreta of the municipality of Malabon in 1994.

• March 1, 1995. Since the elected chairman is one of the mayors of Metro Manila, the role to his constituency gave less attention. Thus, the Philippine Congress, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, passed Republic Act No. 7924 creating the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

• May 1995. Prospero Oreta did not run in the Malabon municipal election. President Fidel Ramos appointed him as first chairman of MMDA and made him independent to the Metro Manila mayors.

• June 1998. Jejomar Binay was prohibited by law to run for fourth consecutive term as mayor of Makati City. President Joseph Estrada appointed him as second chairman of MMDA.

• January 2001. After the removal of Joseph Estrada as President, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo removed Binay from office and appointed Benjamin Abalos Sr. as chairman. Abalos served as mayor of Mandaluyong City from 1986 to 1998. In May of the same year, Binay run and won as mayor of Makati City. Since then, Binay was a critic of the MMDA and advocated for its abolition.

• February 2002. Abalos was appointed chairman of the Commission on Election of the Philippines. President Gloria Arroyo appointed Bayani Fernando as the fourth chairman of the MMDA. Fernando served as mayor of Marikina City from 1992 to 2001. He was credited in transforming Marikina from a 4th class municipality to a model Philippine city.

• MMDA Today. Well-known for his work as Mayor of Marikina City, Bayani Fernando was then appointed as Chairman of the MMDA. He launched the "Metro Gwapo" drive to start the advocacy of turning Metro Manila a pride of the Philippines as its capital. He created the Sidewalk Clearing Operations Department that aimed to clear all sidewalks from illegal structures. Among these are the sidewalks of the North Luzon Central Market (Cloverleaf Market) in Balintawak, Quezon City. The national government saved huge amount of money by his decision to change the design of some existing intersections by installing numerous U-turn slots and steel pedestrian overpasses he called as "footbridges". Metro Manila became notable by becoming the Asian metropolis with a unique male sidewalk urinal. Among the 17 cities and municipalities of Metro Manila, the cities of Makati, Manila and the municipality of San Juan disapprove Fernando's proposals. These locations don't have major MMDA projects constructed nor deputized traffic enforcers.
