Former coup plotter to stay as Scout Ranger’s chief First posted 02:04pm (Mla time) Oct 06, 2005 By Joel Francis Guinto INQ7.net BRIGADIER General Danilo Lim will stay on as commander of the elite First Scout Rangers Regiment, the military leadership said Thursday. Army chief Lieutenant General Hermogenes Esperon said he sees no reason to relieve Lim from his post at this time, contrary to news reports. "He [Lim] has been performing well as Regiment Commander of one of our premier national maneuver units. He has provided the FSRR the leadership and direction contributing greatly toward the accomplishment of the Army's mission," Esperon said in a statement. Should Lim be reassigned, Esperon said it would be for his "career development" and he would be given a higher position. "But that [Lim's reassignment] is not yet in the immediate future," the Army commander added. Prior to assuming the top post in the Army, Esperon served as chief of the Special Operations Command (Socom), which includes the Scout Rangers. Reports said Malacañang ordered Lim relieved as it was wary of his record as a former coup plotter and the FSRR’s proximity to Metro Manila. "I believe in the integrity and loyalty of Brigadier General Danny Lim, contrary to the insinuation or rumor that there is a question in the loyalty of subject officer," Esperon said. As a young captain, Lim led Scout Ranger troops in joining the Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM), which staged a bloody coup against former president Corazon Aquino in December 1989. A graduate of the United States Military Academy Class of 1978, Lim is also the founding chairman of the Young Officers Union (YOU), which later signed a peace pact with the government in October 1995. The YOU was recently resurrected as the Young Officers Union of the new generation (YOUng). Lim has denied involvement with the group. Rumors of Lim's relief came amid renewed tension within the Armed Forces over the relief of Brigadier General Francisco Gudani and Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Balutan for testifying before a Senate investigation on polls fraud without Palace consent. Gudani and Balutan were also ordered charged before a court martial for alleged insubordination. http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?in...&story_id=52489 =================================================== Removing Lim will demoralize the SR. Now, that's trouble.

 They are moving heaven and earth just to demoralize the Scout Rangers. Those who want to cause trouble to country knows the potential of this special outfit. Hope they won't fell to this trap. I believe they will not. They are not called Special Units for nothing.

Im against in removing Gen. Danilo Lim as the Regiment Commanders of the Scout Ranger due to the involvement of the junior officer in the mutiny but as the re-assignment is concerned well its time for Gen Lim to lead a bigger Unit. He already proven a lot as a Commander of the Scout Rangers. I want him to be the nest SOCOM chief. |

The problem here in the country are RUMORS that has nothing to do with the goodness of the institution. Ganito ba tlga ang prize ng isang democratic country? Media people often goes for a stories which has nothng to do with Gen. Lim's life as a soldier? Why are we tolerating this action of media people? If you will gonna invoke your freedom of the press it should be also followed by responsibility by giving the people with real info. di sensational masyado ang right ups. |

Dito sa Pinas all the news agency's and press all over the world are free to come here but what happened to our local press, most of their stories are more sensationalized. They alwyas used their FREEDOM OF THE PRESS but they should also see their bigger responsibility in delivering a real stories not rumors. |

I can surmise.  But it all starts from there. Pero it's good that you said that. At least the agitators will have a hard time figuring out what to do next. |
