Models in preparedness! COVID-FREE MINDANAO LGUs DESERVE HONOR, CITATIONS

My former newswriting mentor, Davao City veteran newsman Tony Ajero, today sent me a message inquiring on the 12 Mindanao Provinces which remained COVID-Free.
He also asked about my beard which I vowed not to shave until after the Pandemic is neutralized or defeated.
As we exchanged messages, an idea came to mind.
Local Government Units which successfully protected their areas from the Pandemic should tell us stories on how they did it.
Or those which suffered from the Pandemic but were able to minimize the damage or neutralize the disease.
After the COVID 19 Pandemic, these Mindanao LGUs should be cited and honored so that they will serve as examples of outstanding leadership in the face of crisis.
Suggestions on the name of the award would be greatly appreciated.
