INCUMBENT Mayor Alfredo Lim of Manila will remain in his post even after the election, a psychic said.

Danny Atienza, a psychic, predicted that Lim will defeat former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada, his closest rival in the mayoral race.

According to Atienza, Lim has a “99 percent chance” of being reelected as mayor in May. He made his fearless forecast in a media forum held recently at the Club Filipino in San Juan City.

“Kapag nanalo si Erap kay Lim, jackpot siya. Sisiguraduhin ko sa kanya 99 percent, talo siya kay Lim,” Atienza said.

Although Lim does not believe in surveys and predictions, his employees believe that the mayor will be reelected. They added that the people are not blind to Lim’s accomplishments in addressing the basic needs of Manilans. They said that these accomplishments will carry Lim to victory.

Ryan Ponce, a former Manila City Hall employee, also believes that Lim will win.

“If Danny Atienza predicts a 99 percent Erap loss, ako kahit hindi psychic, I predict a 100 percent Erap loss. Hindi dahil sa bolang crystal o tarot cards, pero sa katotohanan na una, hindi pwede mamuno sa Maynila ang taga-San Juan. Pangalawa, ang walang nagawang mabuti sa San Juan ay walang gagawing mabuti sa Maynila. At pangatlo, ayaw ng tao sa ex-convict kasi nahulaan nila hindi na magta-trabaho yan,” Ponce said.
