Detained BGen Lim Represented by Daughter in LP Senatorial Slate Launch
January 27, 2010
PRESS RELEASE
The daughter of a detained rebel soldier vying for a senatorial seat this May 2010 elections is the youngest person who spoke during the public launching of the Liberal Party’s senatorial slate at the Philippine Normal University this morning.
Aika Lim, the only daughter of Brigadier General Danilo “Danny” Lim spoke in behalf of her father who is currently on his fourth year of incarceration on charges of alleged mutiny against the Arroyo government.
The young Lim began her speech by extending her father’s apology, saying the bemedalled general was very eager in attending the event but was prevented by certain circumstances.
“Gen. Lim would very much want to join you today, but it’s not possible because he is in prison; unjustly incarcerated because he chose to stand up to defend the people’s rights and interest,” Lim said.
The 18-year old architecture sophomore student also described her ordeal of not seeing her father for the last four years as a very agonizing tribulation.
“Since I was fourteen years old, I only get to see my father in different detention centers. It’s very painful,” Lim said.
However, she said she learned to understand her father’s predicament and have become very proud of him.
“Even though imprisoned and isolated from the outside world, my father never yielded, he was never broken. For that alone, my father’s enemies already lost. Behind his prison bars, he continues to fight together with the people. Who daughter will not be proud of that?” Lim quipped.
Lim ended her speech by handing over to the people the fate of her father in the 2010 elections.
“Like how my father placed so much trust in the law and the people, I am now entrusting his destiny to you this coming election. Kayo na po bahala sa aking ama,” Lim concluded.

Nakakaiyak naman ang speech ni Aika Lim, naku damang -dama ko ang poot na nararamdaman mo ngayon bilang isang anak ng naka-detained na ama. Apat na taon na ang nakaraan wala pa ring linaw ang kaso, at patuloy pa ring pinagkakaitan ng hustisya si Gen. Lim at mga kasamahan niya na Military Officers. sa ordinaryong tao pa kaya hindi mangyari ito.
Sina Gen. Lim and Col. Ariel Querubin ang mga karapatdapat na ihalal ng taongbayan ehemplo ng kagitingan, katapatan at kahusayan sa pamumuno kung tunay na pagbabago ang nais na makamtan ng bansang sinilangan. Mga ginoong walang pag-iimbot sa paglilingkod at pagtalima sa tungkuling sinumpaan at mga pinunong hindi tumatalikod sa kapakanan ng kanilang mga tauhan. sila ang lubos na may tapang upang ipaglaban ang poot na nararamdaman ng bayan na ang nangangailangan ng tulong ay handa nilang tugunan, ang inaapi ay ipinaglalaban sapagkat iyan ang pundasyon ng paniniwala ng bawat isang Pilipino. Nasa katauhan ni Gen. Lim at Col. Querubin ang mabuting halimbawa ng isang responsable at mapagkakatiwalaang lider ayon na rin sa Code of Conduct ng public servant tapat, masipag, mahusay magtrabaho sang-ayon sa nakaatang na tungkulin para sa bayan kaya sila tinawag na BEMEDALLED MILITARY OFFICERS, HINDI SILA BASTA ORDINARYONG SUNDALO Handa nilang ibahagi sa taumbayan ang buong sakripisyo ng paglilingkod, upang makamtan ang kapayapaan at kaunlaran.
LIM at QUERUBIN para sa senado. GOD BLESS, ipagdasal natin sila.
