MMDA Chairman Francis N. TolentinoHEALTH partnerHealth ChampionbyELIZABETH G. MASCAREÑASHEALTHbeat StaffPolitical Will“Political will” has been used,misused and abused by politicians,bureaucrats and advocates promotingchange, but nobody seems capable enoughto define it or measure it. Craig Charney,president of Charney Research - a leadingpollster on political issues in the US, said that“political will is the ghost in the machine ofpolitics, the motive force that generatespolitical action.” He said that political willcan be defined as the combination of threefactors: opinion plus intensity plus salience.Strong opinions form political will only ifthey are salient to public choice. There isno political will if there is no connection topublic affairs.The definition seems vague, untilsomebody comes along to show peoplethe meaning and essence of political will.Atty. Francis N. Tolentino, chairman of theMetropolitan Manila Development Authority(MMDA), fits to a tee the image of a leaderwith strong political will. His programs andprojects – like dismantling oversized andillegal billboards, enforcing smoking ban inpublic places, putting speed limits in majorhighways and implementing the bus taggingsystem – are shunned by some profitorientedindustries and businesses but arebadly wanted and very much appreciated bythe public. Despite the odds, Tolentino hasendured and persevered.Tolentino is a graduate of Bachelorof Laws at the Ateneo de Manila UniversityLaw School and a Doctor of Judicial Science(International Environmental Law) atthe Tulane University Law School in NewOrleans, Louisiana, USA.
