Bayani Flores Fernando (Tagalog: [bɐˈjɐnɪ ˈplɔrɛs pɛɾˈnɐndɔ]; July 25, 1946 – September 22, 2023) was a Filipino politician, businessman, and professional mechanical engineer who served as the representative for Marikina's 1st congressional district from 2016 to 2022. The son of a former Marikina mayor, Gil Fernando, he served as the ninth mayor of Marikina from 1992 to 2001, leaving the office having transformed the city from a former municipality to a model Philippine city. He was also a vice-presidential candidate for the 2010 election.
Fernando founded the construction company BF Corporation after graduating from college at the Mapúa Institute of Technology in the late 1960s, and was its head for more than 20 years.[3] BF Corporation was the main contractor for Rufino Pacific Tower and Edsa Shangri-La, Manila,[4] and still continues to be involved in other construction undertakings, including infrastructure-related projects.
