"The Palace expresses its deep condolences to the family, loved ones and colleagues of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Danilo Lim who died before 8AM this morning at the age of 65," ayon sa pahayag ni Roque kanina.

"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."

Taong 2017 nang palitan ni Lim ang dating chairperson at general manager ng MMDA na si Thomas Orbos sa ilalim ng administration ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. — may mga ulat mula sa News5
