Nasasabik na si Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng kanyang ikatlo at huling termino bilang alkalde ng lungsod.


Ito ang ibinahagi ng anak ni Bossing Vic Sotto hinggil sa buhay-pulitika sa panayam sa kanya sa YouTube (YT) channel ng broadcast journalist na si Bernadette Sembrano.


Inamin ng alkalde na handa na siyang magpaalam sa puwesto matapos ang halos siyam na taong paglilingkod sa Pasig.

“Last term, excited na ako,” ani Mayor Vico.


Sey pa niya, “Imagine, I started at 29 years old. So ngayon, ano na ako, 36. I’ll end my term at 38. I gave my best years.”


Ipinaliwanag din niya ang naging sakripisyo sa kanyang personal na buhay para sa pagsisilbi sa publiko.


Aniya, “I gave my entire 30’s halos. Wala na akong ibang nagawa. I mean, in my personal life, ha? Halos wala kang ibang... kasi the focus, eh. It’s a full-time job.


“S’yempre, meron din akong gustong gawin na iba, pero ‘di puwede, eh. Kailangan, focused kasi the people trusted you, eh.”


Sa nasabing panayam ay napag-usapan din kung paano haharapin ng alkalde ang pagtalikod sa kanyang posisyon.


Tanong ni Bernadette, “Kaya mong talikuran nang ganu’n lang ang pagiging mayor?”

Sagot niya, “Yes. Sa akin, ‘di s’ya mahirap. Gagawin ko nga s’ya sa 2028, eh. Sa akin, wala namang isyu ru’n. Sinabi ko na gagawin ko s’ya. Madali lang,” saad ni Vico.


“Kasi alam mo, ang isang problema talaga... ‘di ba, sabi nga, ‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ And as much as you would like to think the best of yourself—I want to think the best of myself—the reality is, there’s a certain truth that applies to everyone.


“Once you’re in power, at some point, may magbabago rin sa ‘yo kahit sabihin mong grounded ka.


“I try to keep myself grounded. I try to keep myself accountable, and I think maybe compared to others, medyo naka-steady lang naman ako.

“Pero I think it would be a good thing pagkatapos ng siyam na taon, take a step back and reassess.


“Sa tingin ko, maganda ‘yun. And that’s also why, you know, I believe in term limits.

“Kung talagang effective ‘yung ginawa ko ngayon, at ‘yung mga repormang ginawa ko ngayon ay maayos at pangmatagalan, ang tunay na test d’yan ay ‘pag wala na ako.

“We should stop being too personality-based in our politics and in our governance,” dagdag pa niya.


Salute to Coney Reyes and Vic Sotto for raising Mayor Vico so well! A great testament to excellent parenting despite their busy lives in showbiz.
