I read an article about QC politics, there was an interview for mel mathay and it's basicall saying that he is strong at 77 years old. he knows that he can still lead QC...
well.. for further explanation here is a glimpse of the article.
Former Quezon City Mayor and Congressman Ismael “Mel” Mathay, Jr. is raring to reclaim the reins of the premier city. Mathay is pitted against eight other candidates for mayor, many of whom are much younger than him. Despite the odds, he boasts of his strengths, claiming he has loyal and solid following in the city’s four districts.
His opponents for the mayoral post include Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista, Rep. Annie Susano, former Environment Secretary Michael Defensor and businessman/civic leader Johnny Chang.
Belying concerns about his health, the 77-year old Mathay says he is “as fit as a fiddle” and still capable of discharging the strenuous tasks of running the city government. For him, the May 10 polls are more than just a politicalexercise—it is D-Day for Quezon City. For him, solving the city’s problems is a critical ingredient in the overall well-being of Metro Manila. Quezon City, after all, is the country’s main urban hub. Having served as vice governor and de facto chief operating officer of the Metro Manila Commission (the forerunner of the Metro Manila Development Authority) during the Marcos era, Mathay knows what he is talking about.
