Wazzup Pilipinas!
"Laging tandaan na wala kayong utang na loob kahit kanino (lalo na sa politiko) dahil pera ito ng taumbayan. Na-a-appreciate ko naman kapag may nagpapasalamat sa kin pero naiilang ako dahil di ko pera to.
Mag-aral lang kayo nang mabuti, sulit na ang investment ng Pasig sa inyo."
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto tells students that they should not thank him for their scholarship because it was the people’s money that funds their education.
Intellectuals know that ever since, but there are still too many who believe they owe a lot to these politicians who are simply managing taxpayers money.
We've always elected politicians who act like we owe them everything, that this idea actually seems absurd. Kaya may bumoboto dahil sa utang na loob at pakikisama komo naabutan lang o nabigyan ng benepisyo ng gobyerno.
Uulitin po namin. Ang mga serbisyong ng gobyerno ay galing rin sa mga buwis na kinakaltas sa ating sweldo at pang-araw-araw na mga bilihin. Wala po tayong utang na loob sa kahit kaninong politiko. Trabaho po nila na pagsilbihan tayo. Tayo po ang boss. Sila ang public servant.
It feels good to finally hear it from a politician. Louder po Mayor Vico.
Flex ko lang Mayor namin because why not? He is an EPITOME OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.
I'm hating the government right now because of the corruption and incompetencies of the current administration, but I'm also crying because Mayor Vico makes me believe there's still hope and future for good governance.
Mayor Vico always hit the bull's eye. We should not feel indebted. Politicians should be. He has the right thinking that all politicians and government officials should emulate.
Pasig is so blessed. Pasigueños must have done something right to deserve Mayor Vico.
Actually, we are not blessed. We voted right by not being fanatics. Remember who Mayor Vico was running against. If we remained loyal rather than intelligent, malamang baka ganoon pa rin ang Pasig until now.
With leadership of Mayor Vico, Pasig's future is brighter than the Philippines. If he didn't run in the first place, Pasig would still be Pasig ran by the Eusebio clan. More than two decades of Eusebio was more than.enough. There should be a law about this but most of our politicians have made politics a business venture.
This is how we end political patronage. There's still hope for the Philippine politics with leaders like Mayor Vico. Good citizens + good public servants with good policies = better country.
I badly wish all politicians are like Mayor Vico. I know he's only rightfully doing his job but this man has proven time and time again that he cares for the people he's leading, unlike other power-hungry (too many to mention) government officials.
Mayor Vico is someone na hindi inuuna yung ego or nakikipagpataasan sa ibang politicians. He doesn’t care about those things. What he really cares about is doing his job which is to serve people.
Mayor Vico is truly making his mother proud.
Napaka swerte rin ng future wife and kids ni Mayor Vico. For he is such a responsible, kind, caring and genuinely humble person.
This is the kind of leader that we all need. Mayor Vico Sotto, please hawaan mo lahat sila. Very competent mayor.
If only Digong is half as humble as Mayor Vico.
Mayor Vico for president. Age should not be restricted when running for president. Sadly, only a handful has this type of mentality among our politicians.
Remember when a group of DDS, tried to destroy a student life just because he was grateful for our country men? LAKING SAMPAL sa mukha siguro ng statement ni Mayor Vico no?
How ironic that these DDS are siding to both politician with a completely different political views.
We really need to fix people’s mindset that government projects are funded by the people, not the officials.
It’s the official’s job to place where to prioritize that funding and we should hold them accountable for it because it is OUR money, not theirs.
Kudos to Mayor Vico!
