Former National Task Force on COVID-19 special adviser Dr. Tony Leachon said on Friday he has no plans of leading the Department of Health as claimed by a lawmaker.
[Translation: I’m not aiming for that position, even if it would be offered to me, I will not accept the position of being a Secretary of Health.] Garin told the health expert to “shut up” and avoid getting “pity and sympathy” from people, citing how Leachon is vocal on social media instead of putting his words into actions.“Hindi ako naghahabol sa social media para maka-ask ng supporters. Ito po ay pumatok na lang sa Internet, hindi ko naman po hinahangad ito,” he said.
