Vic Sotto shared his thoughts on Vico Sotto’s political career
Eat Bulaga host Vic Sotto had this statement about the call for his son, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, to run for president or for a national position.
Bossing Vic has been very supportive of his son’s career in politics. Mayor Vico has been receiving positive feedback for his good governance. With this, Pasiguenos, as well as people from different corners of the Philippines, aspired to see him become the next president of the country.
However, the Mayor has been very vocal about his next step after his term. Previously, he stressed that he has no plan to run for a higher position in the 2028 elections. Mayor Vico also shared that he wanted to teach after his term.
In a recent statement, based on the article in Bandera, Vic Sotto believed that running for a high position in government is a calling for an individual.
Bossing Vic has spoken out about the public’s call for his son, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, to run for national positions, including the presidency.
The pioneer host of the longest-running noontime show also said that
he knows that Vico is not yet qualified to run for president of the Philippines.
Based on the law stated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, a presidential candidate must be 40 years old on election day. Currently, Vico is only 36 years old.
“The age is not right yet. Kadalasan kapag nababanggit si Vico, it’s always praises for him. Siyempre proud tatay naman ako,” Bossing Vic said.
The veteran TV host also said that his son is the one who will decide about this. However, Vic believes that serving the people is in his son’s blood.
“As far as I’m concerned, ‘yung desisyon nasa kanya ‘yon, e. Siguro baka magpahinga lang sandali. And I’m sure he’s back. ‘’Yung serbisyo publiko nasa dugo na niya ‘yun, e,” Vic Sotto said.
In a recent interview, Mayor Vico Sotto reiterated his plan to teach if given an opportunity. Before he won mayorship, he taught Social Science at Arellano University for a semester.
