"Lim and His Untouchables
The selective raids in Ermita reinforced the growing belief that Lim was wont to cast a jaundiced eye out for some favored Chinese businessmen belonged to a priviledged lot whose business interests were being protected and furthered by Lim. During Lim’s tenure as the chief of the WPD, it was reported that no WPD operative dared to arrest or apprehend Chinese businessmen even for simple traffic violations. Almost all the Chinese businessmen and traders of Manila had Lim’s calling card and anyone who had one was virtually immune from arrest. Lim’s calling card was their talisman of invincibility against any traffic regulation and ordinance. Any policeman who committed the grave mistake of arresting these Chinese “friends” of Lim often ended up being immediately and unceremoniously reassigned. This was the “erring” cop’s reward for being true to the thankless job of enforcing the law."
