Mariing tinanggihan ni Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto ang naging “mungkahi” ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano kaugnay sa “snap elections" mula sa lahat ng elected officials sa pamahalaan, mula sa Presidente hanggang sa Kongreso.
Ayon mga ulat nitong Lunes, Oktubre 6, 2025, sinabi umano ni Sotto na pinangangambahan niyang walang batayang legal o konstitusyonal ang bansa para sa nasabing “snap election” ni Cayetano.
“We have no Constitutional nor legal framework for snap elections,” saad ni Sotto.
Dagdag pa niya, “We will be flirting with uncertainty and chaos.”

Tungkol ang kaniyang repleksyon sa pagkakaroon ng "tiwala," lalo na ang public trust.
“People have lost trust in government and government officials. Honestly, who can blame them? So here’s a thought: WHAT IF we all just resign and allow a Snap Election. From The President, Vice President, Senate, and Congress. With One Important Addition - No Incumbent From The Above Can Run For 1 Election Cycle,” saad ni Cayetano.
“National Government Has Its Bureaucracy And Will Continue To Run. Governors, Mayors And Barangay Chairpersons Are Generally Trusted And Will Be In Place. No drama, no excuses, no recycling. Just a clean slate for the Filipino people. A turning point leading to ReNewal and ReVival. Instead Of People Power. Sacrifice From People's Servants!”
“If we truly serve them, then starting over shouldn’t scare us. Because real change starts with radical honesty — and the courage to admit when it’s time to step aside. We Should All Just Consider This 'What If' And Pray About It,” pagtatapos po niya.
Samantala, wala pa namang ibinibigay na pahayag si Cayetano kaugnay sa sinabi ni Sotto ngayong Lunes.
