Angela Lei "Chi" Ilagan Atienza–Valdepeñas[1] (born July 26, 1981), also nicknamed as Chi-Chi,[2] is a Filipino politician who has been the 35th vice mayor of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, since 2025. A daughter of former mayor Lito Atienza, she is a graduate of De La Salle University. Before entering politics, she worked as a journalist and television host for PTV.
Atienza was born on July 26, 1981, to Manila politician Lito Atienza, who was then a barangay captain, and Ma. Evelina Ilagan.[3] She is the younger sister of broadcasters and former councilors Kim and Ali and incumbent councilor Maile.[4][5] She is a graduate of political science at De La Salle University.[6]
Atienza is known for being the director of Kababaihan ng Maynila (transl. The Women of Manila),[7] an organization established by her father, former mayor Lito Atienza, to give livelihood for some women of the city.[8]
Broadcasting career
Atienza started appearing in advertisements shown on ABS-CBN in the early 2000s.[1] She later entered Star Circle, the talent agency arm of the network, but later quit when she married.[9] She has worked for PTV as one of the hosts of its morning program, Bagong Pilipinas. She was later assigned as one of the hosts of its replacement, Rise and Shine Pilipinas.[10] She also worked for GMA, especially in the anthology show Maynila (when she substituted for her father in 2019).[10][11]
