BAGUIO CITY (June 20, 2020) — Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong said he is sad over Dr. Tony Leachon’s departure as National Task Force Special Adviser. “Dr. Leachon’s exit from the
COVID-19 fight scene is a big loss to our offense and defense against the unseen enemy.

His expertise and services are invaluable as the country remains in the throes of the contagion,” Magalong said. The mayor said Dr. Leachon also served as his personal adviser on COVID-19 particularly in the aspect of data analytics.

Baguio City’s efforts to fight back COVID19 has been praised by NTF chief Carlito Galvez as designated it as a model of the government’s war against the disease. “He is very objective, selfless and remarkably professional. I believe we both are passionate in communicating the truth to the public,” Magalong said in lament.
