The Department of National Defense condoles with the family and loved ones of MMDA Chair General Danilo “Danny” Lim. He was 65.
With the passing of General Lim, the country lost an esteemed leader, who valued public service above all else. His vision, which he carried through from his beginnings as a young officer in the Armed Forces of the Philippines to his later years as a civilian public servant, was to uphold good governance and lead by example.
A member of Philippine Military Class of 1978, General Lim took the helm of the MMDA with his appointment in 2017 and oversaw the agency’s front line response to the COVID-19 pandemic for the majority of the year 2020.
As chair of the NDRRMC and NTF-COVID-19, I am grateful for General Lim’s support to our various inter-agency emergency response operations through the years.
I also convey my sympathies to General Lim’s loved ones and his colleagues at the MMDA. May he rest in peace.
