Mayor Vico on choice of candidates: Pumili ng hindi tali sa lumang kalakaran

Published Apr 28, 2022 03:15 pm

Incumbent Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto said on Wednesday, April 27, that when he was building his lineup for vice mayor, congressman, and councilors for the upcoming May 2022 elections, he chose those who stand with the changes Pasigueños need and believe in doing what is best for the next generation.

"Kung sarili ko lang ang iisipin ko, hindi na ako magbubuo ng lineup. Kung open slate, eh di focus lang ako sa kampanya ko at wala pang magtatampo sa mga hindi napili. Kaso hindi ito laban para maging mayor ako. Ito ay laban para sa tunay na pagbabago na mapapasa natin hanggang sa mga susunod na henerasyon. (If I will just think about myself, I would rather not build a lineup. If it was anopen slate, it would be much easier for me to campaign and no one will have hard feelings if they were not chosen. However, this is not a fight for me to become mayor. This is a fight for the true change that we can pass on to the next generations)," Sotto said in a Facebook post.

He said that a council that believes on what they are fighting for is essential in order to further strengthen and improve the changes that they have started.

"Maraming nag-apply sa kin para makasama sa lineup. Kung tutuusin, kaibigan ko yung iba sa kanila. May mabait at matalino din naman sa kanila. Pero pinili natin ang mga tao na hindi tali sa lumang kalakaran. Yung mga sumasang-ayon sa Zero-Kickback Policy ko. Yung handang tumulong sa pagtataguyod ng isang makabago at tapat na gobyerno (There were a lot of people who applied to be a part of my lineup. In fact, some of them are my friends. A lot of them were also good people and smart. But we chose people who are not slaves to the old ways. We chose those who agree with my Zero-Kickback Policy. We chose those who are ready to support and lead in realizing a new and honest government)," the mayor explained.

Running in the upcoming elections with Sotto are Robert “Dodot” Jaworski Jr. for vice mayor and Congressman Roman Romulo who is seeking reelection.

The team’s candidates for councilor for District 1 are: Mark Gil “Volta” Delos Santos, Roderick “Eric” Gonzales, Raymund “Kiko” Rustia, Paul Roman “Pao” Santiago, Paul Senogat, and Simon Romulo Tantoco.

For District 2: Noel “Buboy” Agustin, Quin “Kin” Cruz, Maria Luisa “Angelu” De Leon, Marion “Mato” Martires, and Corazon “Corie” Raymundo.
