Lim accepts loss, acknowledges Erap as the next Manila Mayor

 

 

 

Incumbent Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim acknowledged his rival, Mayoral-elect Joseph Estrada and has accepted his loss to which he considers as early retirement from politics.

 

In an ABS-CBN News report,  the outgoing mayor issued a statement “We respect and acknowledge the said proclamation and wish them all the best!”

“We would like to thank our relatives, friends and the Manileños for their support, trust and confidence in us. Thank you and god bless us all.”

 

Lim garnered 308,544 votes, 35,449 votes short to Erap’s 343,993.

 

Nothing is permanent in politics, who knows there would come a time that the former friends will be back as allies again.
