Advance congrats, Mayor Vico! Citizens claim his victory in the mayoral race
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, who has the proclivity to amuse people with his honest-to-goodness and unscripted actions, is now the one being entertained after a tarpaulin was installed in a house in city showing him in dressed in a graduation toga with messages of good luck and congratulations on his third mayoral win.

“Huy sinong nagpagawa nito ba't ganiyan?? Na pressure akong mag-review (Who made this, and why does it look like that?? Now I suddenly feel the pressure to review!),” he said with crying and laughing emojis.
Many netizens reacted with “claim it,” showing the strong trust the people of Pasig have in him.
Some also said they will make sure the mayor's slate wins, urging a straight vote for the “Giting ng Pasig” ticket.
Some netizens' comments included:
“Pang Ateneo na, pang Pasig pa. Kung pwede nga lang bumoto kaming mga Batangueno. We love you, Mayor Vico Sotto (Ateneo level, yet Pasig as well. If only we Batangueños could vote. We love you, Mayor Vico Sotto.”
“Bilib yung asawa ko dahil nakikita niya sa Pasig na karamihan talaga yung mga residente ng Pasig ang gumagawa ng tarpaulin at sariling gawa na pangalan ni Vico Sotto. Kung maglalagay sila ng tarpaulin, ay walang solo tarpau na kay Vico lang nakapangalan kundi kasama lahat ng partido at kasamahan. So proud! Napakagaling (My husband is impressed because he sees that in Pasig, most of the residents are the ones making the tarpaulins and creating their own with Vico Sotto's name. When they put up a tarpaulin, it’s never just one with Vico's name alone, but it includes everyone from his party. So proud! So impressive).”
“Good luck and God bless po, mayor! Grabe ang pagmamahal at tiwala sa inyo ng mga tao.. sila na mismo ang nagpapagawa ng tarp ninyo para ikabit sa kanilang bahay!! Pagpalain po (Good luck and God bless, Mayor! The love and trust people have in you is incredible—they're even making their own tarpaulins of you and proudly putting them up in their homes).”
“Yung iba ang laki ng gastos sa tarpaulin, pero si Mayor Vico mga supporters niya mismo ang gumagawa. Ganyan kapag maayos at may puso ang pamumuno. Lehitimo ang suporta. All the best, Mayor! (While others spend a lot on tarpaulins, Mayor Vico’s supporters are the ones making them themselves. That’s the kind of support you earn when you lead with integrity and heart. Wishing you all the best, Mayor!).”
Even those who are not from Pasig have shown their support for Sotto.
“Hindi ako taga Pasig pero 100% ang suporta ko sa inyo, Mayor Vico Sotto. Ramdam na ramdam ng bawat mamamayan, di lang ng Pasigueño, na mahal namin kayo. Patuloy po kayo mamalakad ng good governance at iintayin po namin kayo pamunuan ang bansang Pilipinas. MABUHAY KA MAYOR VICO (I’m not from Pasig, but I support you 100%, Mayor Vico Sotto. The love is felt by every citizen, not just by Pasigueños. We truly love you. Continue practicing good governance, and we will wait for you to lead the nation. Long live, Mayor Vico!).”
“Excited overload ang mga Pasigueño, Mayor Vico Sotto. Taga-Mindanao po ako pero bakit pati ako na-excite? (Pasigueños are overflowing with excitement, Mayor Vico Sotto. I’m from Mindanao, but why am I excited too?). ”
“May congratulatory tarpaulin ka na, Mayor. Panindigan mo na yan! (You’ve already got your congratulatory tarpaulin, Mayor. Live up to it!). Congratulations because more than the position, you gained the overwhelming trust of Pasigueños (and non-Pasigueños).”
