Fil-Am Al Bito is US city manager
Two weeks after the city manager of Campbell, California, announced his resignation, a Filipino-American was appointed to the post in interim capacity.
Al Bito has 21 years of city service, 14 of them as assistant city manager of Campbell.
“I’m honored the mayor and the city council are entrusting me to lead this organization during this transition phase and I will work very hard to maintain the quality of services and programs residents expect and deserve,” Bito said in a statement.
Bito is the son of Capt. Alfredo M. Bito of Alaminos City and Cecilia Abelardo of San Miguel, Bulacan. Captain Bito is a retired Panama Canal pilot, the only Filipino marine officer to attain the position.
