Baguio mayor dismayed over critics' politicking amid coronavirus crisis
Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong expressed disappointment over critics engaging in politics during the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Magalong stated that it is disheartening and infuriating to hear people reminding him of their past support and implying political obligations.
He emphasized that his administration is fully committed to protecting Baguio residents from COVID-19.
Magalong was an early adopter of preventive measures, canceling major events like the Panagbenga Festival before the Luzon-wide lockdown.
The mayor stressed that the priority is to prevent virus transmission and ensure the community's basic needs are met, not political gain.
Baguio City Health Office reported zero positive cases for six consecutive days, indicating a flattened epidemiological curve.
Despite the positive trend, officials will not recommend lifting border closures for the city yet.
