SA unang araw ng panunungkulan bilang Mayor ng Pasig City ni Vico Sotto ay kaagad niyang nilagdaan ang memorandum circular na nagsu-suspend sa Odd and Even scheme sa nasabing lungsod.

Mayor Vico

Pero bago ang lahat ay ikinuwento ni Mayor Vico ang simula ng umaga niya.

Aniya, “My 1st day as mayor. It was a long, exciting, productive day.

Tsika at Intriga

T o d a y ’ s highlights:

“Flag-raising C e r e m o n y . (Maraming salamat sa mga empleyado ng City Hall sa napaka init na pagtanggap sa akin bilang alkalde!)

“Issued 5 Executive Orders creating 5 task forces to determine data-driven baselines, analyze existing practices, and further develop progressive strategies for (1) Health, (2) Education, (3) Housing, (4) Traffic Management/ People Mobility, and (5) City Income/Revenue.

“Memorandum Circular effectively suspending the #OddEven scheme. (Puwede po ito kung babasahin natin nang maigi ang Ordinansa ng Sanggunian kung saan naging posible ang Odd-Even. Higit pa rito, hindi makatarungan at kulang sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga kalapit na LGU ang pag-implementa nito.)

“Memo to all contractual city employees regarding their renewal. Everyone will have to be physically present. (#OneMoreChance + #Ghostbusters)

“Visited the 6th floor of City Hall. (‘Yun lang ang kinaya sa oras pero sa susunod na mga araw ay mabibisita ko rin lahat)

“Series of short meetings with the PNP, TPMO, and various department heads.

“Reviewed Executive Orders to be signed on Wednesday. (Kabilang ‘yung para sa aking paborito, #FOI).”

Umabot sa 2.9 shares ang post na ito ni Vico sa kanyang FB page at pawang pasasalamat naman ang nabasa namin na umabot sa 1.9 ang mga komento. May ilan ding nagpahayag ng problema sa Pasig.

Ang ilan sa mga nabasa naming komento ay mula sa isang Bon Gayosa: “Thank you and may the Spirit of the Lord guide and bless you always.”

J o n a t h a n M i g u e l Ravalo: “Thanks, Mayor! Looking forward to more great platforms. May God bless and guide you always.”

WV Tan: “Congratulations on this move! Good luck and may your new team have the same passion and thinking as yours.”

Mi Chelle: “Mayor, k a l s a d a n a m a n s a Nagpayong. Naway mabigyang pansin din sa sobrang traffic.”

Marita Habalo: “May your tenure and service as Mayor of Pasig bring about a positive renewal in the city’s ordinances and operations for the good of the citizenry and eradicate patronage and corruption. God bless!”

Evelyn Villaruel: “Thank you Mayor Vico Sotto. We will support you and your team in all undertakings for the improvement of Pasig City. May God continue to bless you with wisdom and strength. Again, thank you. We believe that you are the best choice for that position.”

I r e l a n d A l l a n Cabrido: “Congratulations Mayor Vico Sotto, I hope the Pasig City Government will recognize its Athletes who give pride and honor to their beloved City of Pasig. For the last two years winners and medalist 2018 & 2019 Palarong Pambansa were not given an incentives.”

Elizabeth Nathan: “Thanks Mayor Vico Sotto sound great traffic is your first step to improved in Pasig especially here in Ortigas Center, Kapitolyo and Shaw Blvd God bless you always.”

Nerissa Y. Dela Rosa: “Mayor Vico please look into the unfinished rehabilitation of C. Raymundo Ave. The project started several months ago and until now it’s not finish yet. Thank you and good luck!”

Jeco Santos Mayor: “Kaawa-awa mga studyante dito sa Pag-asa St., Caniogan Pasig, dahil sa hindi matapos tapos na drainage. Delikado po sa mga nagdadaan. Pakitingnan po ang sitwasyon at maayos po sana nang mabilis bago dumating mga bagyo at magdulot ng kapahamakan.

Anna Maria Medel: “Thank you po Mayor Vico Sotto. Please consider immediate building of “FOOT BRIDGE” in Rotonda to declogging the traffic inside Pasig. Thank you and God bless.”

At dahil si Mayor Vico ang pinakabatang nahalal bilang Ama ng isang lungsod ay tinawag siyang ‘Babe Mayor’ ng isang iskolar na humihiling na sana ay madagdagan ang kanilang allowance.

Aliw ang naging sagot ni “babe mayor” dahil sa oras na tawagin daw siya ulit na ganito ay kakaltasan niya ng P500 ang allowance ng nasabing iskolar.

Tulad ng kanyang ama ay komedyante rin si Vico pero siyempre hindi nga lang siya showbiz sabi nga niya, “Akala yata ng ibang tao naging very prim and proper ako bigla. ‘Di nila alam na may stiff neck lang kasi ako.”

Sa edad na 30 ay walang nagmamay-ari ng puso ni Mayor Vico dahil uunahin muna niya ang kanyang obligasyon bilang public servant ng mga Pasigueños.
