Ex-Manila mayor, senator Alfredo Lim hospitalized

Former Manila mayor and senator Alfredo Lim has been confined in a hospital, his aide confirmed on Friday.

Ric de Guzman, Lim’s chief of staff, said the former politician is making “good progress,” adding that Lim’s family had asked for prayers for the former mayor. They also asked for privacy at this time.
