Political career (1995–2004)

Atienza has been in politics for twelve years. From 1995 to 2004, he served as councilor of Manila from
the 5th district for three terms.[5] One of his notable resolutions that he filed to the city council is the
resolution in 1998 declaring actress Claire Danes as persona non grata and banning her films after Danes
criticized the state of Manila's cleanliness.[10] In 2004, he ran as representative of the 5th District of
Manila but lost to Joey Hizon.[11] His father, then Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, asked him to run for
Mayor of Manila in 2007 but he declined and then he retired, thinking that politics are scary.[12]

Radio and television career (1987–present)

He started his broadcasting career in the early 1990s, as the anchor of "Mata ng Agila", an early morning
newscast of DZEC Radyo Agila 1062, together with Onin Miranda.[13]

Atienza started his stint on TV when he began hosting Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas' Animalandia as well
as voice acting in the 90's. He is also best known for voicing Takeru (renamed as Michael Joe) which is
portrayed by Japanese Sentai actor Ryousuke Kaizu from the Super Sentai series, Hikari Sentai Maskman
and he also references this in later years when he was being interviewed by fellow celebrity hosts.[14]

He then became ABS-CBN's weather tracker for TV Patrol until he became the show's weather presenter
when Ernie Baron died of heart attack in 2006.[12]

He left the early morning show, Umagang Kay Ganda in 2009 to host the late morning variety show It's
Showtime (then named Showtime).[6] He began hosting Matanglawin on March 24, 2008.[6]

He returned to radio for the 2nd time overall and also for the first time on DZMM via Sakto with Amy
Perez-Castillo, replacing original host Marc Logan who left the show. It also aired both on DZMM and
DZMM TeleRadyo in 2018.

On September 29, 2021, Atienza announced that he would leave ABS-CBN on October 1 as part of its
retrenchment program caused by the ABS-CBN shutdown from the Philippine Congress that junked the
new ABS-CBN legislative franchise to operate, as he would transfer to GMA Network. He joined the
newscast 24 Oras on October 4, but his eponymous segment of the program titled "#KuyaKimAnoNa"
debuted a week later on October 11. He also hosted the talk show Mars Pa More since November 8 and
an news magazine show titled Dapat Alam Mo! on GTV since October 18, that serves as pre-
programming to 24 Oras, the show also started its provisional simulcast on GMA from February 14 to
March 18, 2022.[15][16][17][18] In July 2022, he was named as a host of the new variety show
TiktoClock.[19]
