MMDA chair Danilo Lim dies at 65​

MANILA, Philippines — Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairperson Danilo Lim has passed away at age 65, Malacañang said Wednesday.

“The Palace expresses its deep condolences to the family, loved ones and colleagues of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Danilo Lim who died before 8AM this morning at the age of 65,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.
Roque did not disclose the reason behind Lim’s death.

“MMDA Chair Lim served the Duterte Administration with professionalism, competence and integrity. He would be dearly missed. May the perpetual light shine upon him, and may his soul, through the mercy of the Almighty, rest in eternal peace,” the Palace official added.

MMDA’s Edsa traffic chief Edison “Bong” Nebrija also bid farewell to the agency’s chairperson.
“Farewell my brother tonight, farewell,” Nebrija wrote in a Facebook post.

On December 29 last year, Lim himself confirmed contracting the coronavirus disease.

MANILA, Philippines — The Presidential Security Group (PSG) will submit to the Department of Health (DOH) a monthly report on possible adverse effects experienced by their personnel who received the COVID-19 vaccine, DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III said Thursday.
“I have spoken to [PSG] Commander Jes[us] Durante and he agreed to turn over the list and also a monitoring system for adverse events following immunization,” Duque said in an interview on ABS-CBN News Channel.


“A system has been put in place and they need to adopt this and submit to us a monitoring report on a monthly basis,” he added.

Duque said the PSG has yet to submit the list its members who got the COVID-19 vaccine and it remains to be a “work in progress.”

Previously, the PSG commander admitted they administered the COVID-19 vaccines themselves as early as September last year.

Durante also said the personnel who were vaccinated against COVID-19 have yet to experience any side effects.




Despite fierce criticisms from lawmakers and several groups, the PSG’s move to vaccinate its members have been backed by Malacañang and President Rodrigo Duterte himself.

The National Bureau of Investigation and the country’s Food and dŕꭎǥ Administration have launched separate investigations regarding PSG’s unauthorized vaccination.
