Alfredo Lim, who rose from the world of law enforcement cultivating a tough, “Dirty Harry” image to become mayor of Manila, senator and interior secretary, died on Saturday afternoon at the age of 90.

A veteran police officer, Lim first became a national figure at the height of the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution when, as then chief of the Quezon City Police, he was said to have refused orders to disperse the people massing on Edsa during the bloodless uprising that ended the Marcos dictatorship.

He won a second term as mayor in 1995 before deciding to run for president under the Liberal Party in 1998. He resigned from the DILG post after Estrada was ousted through the January 2001 Edsa 2 uprising and was succeeded by former Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.Lim made a successful bid for the Senate in 2004, but resigned in the middle of a six-year term to run again for Manila mayor in 2007.
