Dan Neri Lim is the former mayor of Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines, from 2004 up to 2013.
His father is Segundo Soriano Lim, a direct descendant of one of the first three Chinese nationals whose business prospered in Bohol even before the Second World War. Mr. Segundo Lim is still an active member of the city’s business circle. Dan’s mother is Gloria Basa Neri, from Ozamis City. At one time, she took the cudgels as vice mayor of Tagbilaran City and presiding officer of the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
Dan Lim was born on February 11, 1952, and is married to the former Dr. Sharleen Mathay Corral of Makati City. They have three children.
Lim studied at the East Visayan Academy in Cebu City and finished his secondary education at Rafael Palma College (now University of Bohol) in 1968. He enrolled at the Philippine Union College in Caloocan City for his bachelor's degree in political science, which he finished in 1972. He went to Dumaguete City and enrolled at Silliman University for his Bachelor of Laws. He graduated in 1977 and passed the bar that same year.
Lim joined the faculty of Philippine Union College the following year, where he taught Philippine Constitution, political science, and negotiable instrument as a part-timer. Simultaneously he accepted the offer of Assemblyman Liliano Basa Neri of Region 10 as his chief of staff. Then he joined Goco, Neri, Bucero, Primisias Law Office, where later he became a partner replacing Atty. Neri. Atty. Lim is a member of Law Asia, an association of lawyers all over the Asian countries. He was also the chief of staff of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines before Atty. Liliano Neri became an assemblyman.
In 1980 he came back to Tagbilaran and became a councilor for six years. In 1986, when Corazon Aquino became president after the EDSA People Power Revolution, he was appointed OIC Mayor of Tagbilaran City. From 1988 to 1992, when Jose Ma. Rocha became Mayor he was the City Administrator. It was during this time that Tagbilaran was given national acceptance in a privilege speech by Senator Juan Flavier, making the Tagbilaran City Cooperative Hospital a model in the country.
