Mayor Lim: Dirty Harry Strikes again!

Honestly, I really admire how the new Manila Mayor works. If you notice, not all politicians are like like him. Most of them, do illegal (not in a bad way, like illegal bar and restos along baywalk.) to win the hearts of some of the citizens who benefit from it.

These are the kinds of politicians we need in the Philippines. Another example is Bayani Fernando, whom, doesn't care if he gets the vote of those squatters he evicted, which, in the first place, they really don't own.

Whats different from Mayor Lim is, he doesn't care if he clashes with high ranking, big celebrities or huge tycoons. to him, whats right is right and wrong, well, it doesn't matter how much money, name and connection you have, is still wrong.

Baywalk project, started by former Mayor Atienza, is currently being demolished because according to Lim, it appeared that the owners were delinquent in paying their rentals and operated without securing building permits.

MCH City Engineering Office chief Armand Andres said the City Building Office issued a notice to the establishment owners two weeks ago. “But instead of waiting for MCH workers to remove the structures, they dismantled their restaurants themselves.”

He said the 200-meter row of restaurants and entertainment bars, from the United States Embassy up to the Manila Yacht Club, had been cleared. The only thing the MCH has to do now is to fix some of the brick tiles that may have been displaced during the demolition of the restaurants and stages.

(This is why I said earlier that, he doesn't care whoever he faces because, whats right is right and vice versa.) As to news reports that Malacañang was reportedly disappointed over the removal of the restaurants along Baywalk, the Mayor reiterated that he was only abiding by the law.


Well, its just not building and / or operating without permits. Its destroying the serene image of the sunrise and sunset, which, Manila Bay is famous for. Also, He admitted that tenants of nearby hotels, such as the Manila Diamond Hotel and adjacent condominium units, have also complained about the din and the dancing that usually starts from 7 p.m. and lasts until 4 a.m. the following day.

Good Job Mayor Lim! Kudos to you sir!
