Actor and comedian Vic “Bossing” Sotto turned heads during a local campaign rally on Friday when he introduced his son, reelectionist Mayor Vico Sotto, as the country’s future leader.
Speaking at the start of the campaign season for the 2025 local elections, the elder Sotto couldn’t hide his pride. After a lighthearted jab about where Vico got his smarts—“Alam niyo naman po kung kanino nagmana, kanino pa eh di sa nanay”—he followed it up with a bold proclamation: “Ito na po ang susunod na presidente ng Pilipinas, Mayor Vico Sotto.”
The moment drew cheers from the crowd, with Vic going on to praise Pasig residents for their choice of local officials. “Kayo ang aking binabati, kasi kayo ang nagluklok sa mga magigiting na taong nasa harap ninyo ngayon,” he said.
Vico Sotto, who is gunning for a third term as mayor, is set to face off with businesswoman Sarah Discaya in the upcoming elections scheduled for May 12, 2025.
