HOST-comedian Vic Sotto called his son, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, the “next president of the Philippines” during a campaign rally in the city.
Mayor Sotto is seeking reelection in the upcoming May elections.
During the kickoff of the “Giting ng Pasig” campaign on Friday morning, Vic was given the task of introducing his son.
“Mabuhay kayo, mga Pasigueño! I’m very proud of you. Ito na po, ipapakilala ko na po. Alam n’yo naman siguro kung kanino nagmana. Kanino pa? E ‘di sa nanay (Connie Reyes),” he quipped.
He then added, “Ito na po, ang susunod na presidente ng Pilipinas, Mayor Vico Sotto.”
Currently, Mayor Vico is not yet eligible to run for president, as he is only 35 years old. Under the Philippine Constitution, presidential candidates must be at least 40 years old.
