To this Locsin praised the politician’s leadership and accountability.

“had a productive meeting with mayor Magalong and Sir Roland last week for covid vaccines and ibayan when we were in Baguio. I know he’s all over the news lately, so, I just want to share our experience with him. He reminded us to wear our masks and face shields and to respect the locals by following safety protocols. He also wore his mask the whole time. Just putting this here not to justify pero para may ibang side naman :) ang refreshing makita sa balita na may accountability at sense of honor ang isang opisyal para aminin ang pagkakamali. Kelangan natin ng mga ganito. Also, magaling siya.”
