"It's been a long time since I saw each and every one of you. I have never been this busy in my entire life," he said in a speech during the Brand of Excellent, Extraordinary, and Zealous Employees (BrEEZE) Awards 2025 in Camp John Hay, this city, over the weekend.

"I would like to apologize if I could not fulfill my duties as your city mayor. Please forgive me!" Magalong added.

The BrEEZE Awards is dedicated to honoring valued employees of the Baguio city government, retirees, and families of deceased colleagues who dedicated their lives to public service.

Magalong honored awardees. "This event is a significant occasion, as we honor the pillars of our work. Our retirees who have given their lives and service over the years, the families of our departed colleagues. Whose legacy continues to inspire. Our loyalty awardees will prove that true dedication is measured by years of steadfast commitment," Magalong said.

Magalong cited the sacrifice he made during his stint.
