Duterte wants Magalong to stay as tracing czar

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte wants Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong to remain as the country’s contact-tracing czar, according to Malacañang.

Magalong earlier tendered his irrevocable resignation after he drew flak for attending a party where coronavirus protocols were violated.

“I have heard with my own two ears nothing but words of praises for Mayor Magalong from the President,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in his virtual presser Tuesday.

“I am 100 percent sure the President wants Mayor Magalong to stay as contact tracing czar,” added Roque.

Duterte appointed Magalong, former head of the Philippine National Police’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, as contact tracing czar in July last year.
