With Sen. Alfredo S. Lim about to take over the helm as mayor of Manila, there are now three places in the country that have become very dangerous—for criminals and lowlife: Davao City, Cebu City, and the capital city.
Davao City’s Rodrigo Duterte and Cebu City’s Tomas Osmeña have retained their position in their respective turfs. Duterte is the country’s second “Dirty Harry,” Lim being the original. Osmeña has copied from Duterte, dealing with his city’s underworld with much success.
Davao City and Cebu, dubbed the “Queen City of the South,” have become very peaceful hence, more progressive, since criminals have left the two cities in droves and transferred to other places.
Lim was the nemesis of criminals even when he was still a patrolman at the Manila Police Department back in the 50s. I covered Lim for many years as a reporter for another newspaper.
Fred Lim’s unorthodox methods in dealing with notorious criminals have raised howls from human rights advocates, but received praises from the grateful residents he has served—those in Manila, where he was once the police chief; Quezon City and Camanava (Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela) as superintendent of the Northern Police District; and the entire country, as director of the National Bureau of Investigation.
So, if you want to live under safe conditions, why not try settling in Manila, Davao or Cebu?
