MANILA, Philippines – There wouldn’t be any rest for incumbent Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto as his job continues after a landslide win in the 2025 midterm elections. A day after the polls, he was officially proclaimed mayor for a third and final term.

“We’re very thankful, nagpapasalamat po ako sa lahat ng Pasigueno sa kanilang tiwala sa kanilang suporta, at sa bagong mandato, sa fresh mandate na ito,” Sotto said. 

As for what’s next for Sotto, he said he will seek to institutionalize reforms to maintain good governance in the city. 

“The next three years, pagtitibayin natin yung mga nasimulan na pagbabago, reporma, kailangan siguraduhin natin na ma-institutionalize. Ibig sabihin dapat kung sino yung mga susunod na leader sa Pasig eh sisiguraduhin natin na mas mahirap nang gumawa nang masama. Mas mahirap na maging korap, mas madali nang maging mabuti at mas madali na maging tapat sa LGU (local government unit) ng Pasig,” he said.
