Mayor Lim's son held in drug buy-bust operation03/15/2008 | 02:34 PM

MANILA, Philippines - A son of Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim was arrested in a drug buy-bust operation in Manila's downtown Sta. Cruz district Saturday.

In a report, radio dzBB's Benjie Liwanag quoted Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) chief Dir. Dionisio Santiago as saying that operatives had arrested Manny Santos Lim, 44, and two companions during the operation at the Pharoah Hotel in Sta. Cruz district.

Seized from Lim and his two still-unnamed companions were 100 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) worth P600,000.

The report said the PDEA was to bring Lim and his companions to the Department of Justice for inquest proceedings.

Let ax fall

The mayor confirmed to reporters in a phone interview that Manny Lim is his son.

"If he violated the law, let the ax fall where it may," said Lim. "The law applies to all."

Mayor Lim said that he has yet to receive any formal report on the arrest of his son.

PDEA chief Dionisio Santiago, however, said he had phoned Lim to report the anti-drug operation that led to the arrest of the mayor’s son.

Lim said he even congratulated Dionisio and his men for the successful operation.

Won't lift finger

The mayor admitted that he and his son, a businessman, have not been in speaking terms for several months.

"I will not lift a finger to help him," he said. He explained that he only helps people who are victims of cruelty.

He said that he did not know his son was involved in the illegal drug trade. But he revealed that his son had a family problem. - GMANews.TV
