+ February 05, 2021 SECRETARY Carlito Galvez Jr., Malacañang’s vaccine czar, once again assured that Bacolod City is one of the priority cities of the national government in the vaccine distribution.
“Don’t worry because Bacolod City is our priority after Cebu City and afterward, Iloilo City,” Galvez told the virtual special general assembly of the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), led by Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia as national president, Thursday, February 4.
“All the highly urbanized cities (HUCs) are priorities; we will not leave anyone behind,” Galvez added.
In November 2020, Galvez, who is also the chief implementer of the National Task Force Against Covid-19, had informed Leonardia via text message that Bacolod is among the local government units (LGUs) in the country poised to first receive the Covid-19 vaccine in case the national government gets a hold of its supply.
