Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque denies he and Health Secretary Francisco Duque III pressured National Task Force COVID-19 Chief Implementer Carlito Galvez to tell Dr. Tony Leachon, his special adviser, to resign.

Public health advocate Dr. Tony Leachon also earned the ire of President Rodrigo Duterte with his criticisms against the Department of Health, leading to his removal from the government's COVID-19 national task force, a palace spokesman said Thursday.

[Translation: In our last meeting with the President, he asked why Leachon was speaking that way. The President himself noted that you should not be doing that.] Roque, who also serves as the spokesperson of the Inter-Agency Task Force, said their group also took offense at the statements of Leachon casting doubts on the COVID-19 data presented by the DOH.
