In the clip, Sotto can be heard speaking with a distorted, extraterrestrial-like voice during what appears to be a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 15.
The video quickly gained thousands of views and reactions across social media.
Netizens flooded the comments section with playful remarks:
“Sino nagturo kay Mayor Vico nito??!? Usapan fonts lang (Who taught Mayor Vico this??!? It’s just about fonts),” one user joked.
“Na para bang alien siya HAHAHAHAHA (Like he’s an alien HAHAHAHAHA),” another wrote.
“Progressive talaga ng Pasig, nakapunta na sila sa Mars (Pasig really is so progressive — they’ve made it all the way to Mars),” one comment read.
“Jusq, anong oras na, mayor! Naka-headset ako, kala ko may Illuminati na sa kwarto ko (Mayor, it’s so late! I had my headset on and thought there was an Illuminati meeting in my room!),” another user added.
Some users also compared him to other politicians, posting:
Meanwhile, Sotto also went viral in the comments section of the Pasig City Public Information Office’s Facebook page after asking,

“Pano nyo (niyo) ginagawa yung iba’t ibang font? (How do you guys make those different fonts?)”
Netizens later noticed the mayor trying out the fonts himself:
“Flood control Font controlled .”
“Not Mayor Vico enjoying the different fonts.”
“If Mayor Vico can change the font he can change the world.”
The clip continues to spread online, with many saying Sotto’s lighthearted approach is yet another reason they find his leadership “out of this world.”
