PASIG CITY — No tarpaulins, no celebrity concerts, no cash giveaways. Just pure, no-frills public service. That’s how Mayor Vico Sotto won the hearts—and the votes—of Pasigueños once again in a landslide victory, proving that good governance speaks louder than glitz and glam.
“Paano mo tatalunin ang isang lider na ang kampanya ay serbisyo mismo?”
While his opponent, a wealthy contractor, brought in big-name rappers like Flow G and Andrew E, handed out sacks of rice and cash prizes, and hosted weekly press conferences, Mayor Vico quietly went door to door. His only campaign material? Two full terms of transparent, consistent, and inclusive public service.
No fanfare. No facade. Just facts.
The Results?
A complete wipeout: 15-0 sweep for Mayor Vico and the entire Giting ng Pasig slate. No contest. No drama. Just overwhelming support from a city that knows who’s been walking the talk.
Bakit nga ba landslide?
Let’s break it down:
✅ ₱7,500 monthly allowance for scholars
✅ Monthly rice subsidies for PWDs
✅ Free hospitalization for all Pasigueños
✅ Regularization of city hall employees
✅ State-of-the-art cardiac cath lab at PCGH, launched just last March 26
This is not a wishlist. These are concrete programs already in place—not promises waiting to be broken.
“Hindi mo kailangang mahirap. Hindi mo kailangang botante.”
This is perhaps the most defining aspect of Mayor Vico’s leadership: every Pasigueño counts, regardless of income, background, or political affiliation. The kind of service that doesn’t ask for anything in return—but continues to deliver.
PR vs. Public Service
In an age where political campaigns often feel like showbiz productions, Vico Sotto remains a breath of fresh air. He has shown that people remember performance more than posters, and that true leadership is measured not in press releases, but in people’s lives getting better.
Kung hindi ka taga-Pasig, mai-inspire ka. Kung minsan, maiinggit ka rin.
Because this is what local governance should look like.
And if Vico Sotto’s latest victory proves anything, it’s this: pag serbisyo ang kampanya, tiwala ang boto.
