Lim clams up

Customs Deputy Commissioner Danilo Lim on Friday chose to keep silent, ignoring calls for him to name the protectors of corrupt officials in the agency.

Reminded of his promise to name “the powerful forces” he had hinted at earlier, Lim said he would divulge their identifies at the right time and in the proper forum. He also said he would compare notes with another deputy commissioner, Juan Lorenzo Tanada, to make sure they have the same list of people who have been interfering with Custom’s internal affairs.
