Bayani Flores Fernando (born July 25, 1946) is a former Chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). He announced his intention to run for President of the Philippines in the 2010 general elections, but after talks with Richard Gordon, he agreed to run instead as Vice-President under Gordon's newly established party, Bagumbayan. Their ticket was dubbed "the Transformers"; he lost in the polls, placing fourth.
Bayani Fernando was born in San Juan del Monte, Rizal (now part of the National Capital Region), and finished his secondary education at the Marikina School of Arts and Trades (renamed Marikina Institute of Science and Technology in 1979, now Marikina Science High School since 2001). He finished college with a degree on Mechanical Engineering at the Mapúa Institute of Technology.
Later on, he established BF Corporation, an umbrella company that includes BF Construction Company and BF Metal Works. His company became involved in the construction of structures for the Mall of Asia Arena, SM City Marikina, SM City Sucat, Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Ermita, Shangri-La Plaza, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila, and buildings in Makati's business district such as Rufino Tower and the Philippines' tallest, PBCom Tower. It is likely he shared his metal fabrication expertise with the MMDA during his tenure.
