IN PHOTOS: Proofs that show Mayor Vico Sotto got his dad Vic Sotto's sense of humor
Mayor Vico Sotto is lauded for his continuous efforts in handling the COVID-19 health crisis in Pasig City. But Mayor Vico isn't only hardworking, he also knows how to make people smile and laugh, just like his father, Bossing Vic Sotto. See some of his funny and quirky moments here.
Like father, like son
Mayor Vico posted this face swap photo of him and his father Bossing Vic Sotto as a Father's Day greeting in 2015.
Cross-stitch appreciation post
He posed like this beside a cross-stitch of his mother Coney Reyes, who's channeling her villain character in one of her past TV series. Part of his caption read: “Grabe muntikan na kong magka-heart attack kanina pagkaupo sa sofa nagulat ako sa mukha ni Mama! Bagong sabit kasi sa dingding. Pero ang galing nung nag-cross stitch nito ha! #mygulay #mygulat #heartattack #wagganun”
Grateful for his sense of humor
Mayor Vico's mom shared a video of him being sanitized as a precautionary measure against the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). And after being sprayed, he turned around, aimed a sanitizer at the person who sprayed him and said, “Ikaw naman.”
A serious message
In 2018, Mayor Vico posted this awkward photo if him and his father Bossing Vic Sotto and captioned it: “Happy Father's Day! I chose this picture because I want this to be a very serious greeting. #nofilter (captured by Paul Ryan Tan, 2013)”
'Always be your baby'
Most people will probably use photos of themselves embracing or kissing their moms for Mother's Day--but not Mayor Vico. In 2019, he shared this somewhat awkward but undoubtedly cute and sweet photo of him and his mom Coney Reyes. Part of his captioned reads: “I love you! No matter what happens, I will always be your baby!”
With Alden Richards
In 2016, Mayor Vico posed beside a statue of Alden Richards in Concha's Garden Café at Tomas Morato. He captioned it: “Sa wakas! Nakapagpa-picture na rin ako kay Alden!”
Blonde hair
Mayor Vico posed with a blonde on for his birthday greeting for his father in 2018. He captioned it: “Happy birthday, Papa! Grew my hair for this post, blonde pala ako (Missing his birthday trip because I'm in #DesMoines to work with the Iowa Public Information Board, fine-tuning my proposal to make our local government more transparent)”
Lovely smile
In 2017, Mayor Vico posed this photo of himself with what seems to be like chocolate on his front teeth. He captioned it: “The judges of the #PacquiaoHorn fight be like.”
The Blue Steel pose
Here's Mayor Vico doing the 'Blue Steel' pose made popular by actor Ben Stiller in the movie 'Zoolander 2.'
with panda friend
Despite the stress and controversies that come with his work, Mayor Vico surely knows how to stay chill and carry on with his job. He recently shared this photo of himself signing papers in his office with a 3D panda beside him.
Got it from his daddy
No doubt about it, Mayor Vico truly got his good sense of humor from his father Vic Sotto. Here's a photo of them posing with Vico's supporters, when he was still campaigning as Pasig City mayor.
Baby Vico
Mayor Vico Sotto posted a comical greeting for his mother Coney Reyes's birthday on May 27, and netizens loved it!
Becoming a doctor
Mayor Vico Sotto once joked about wanting to become a doctor. On his Instagram, he shared a photo of himself wearing a pair of scrubs. Part of his caption reads, “I've always wanted to become a doctor... [ever since our Covid Referral Facility doctors gave me my own pair of scrubs. Thanks docs!]”
Reunited with Oyo Sotto
On December 8, 2020, Mayor Vico Sotto posted a photo with his brother Oyo Sotto, Maine Mendoza, Wally Bayola, Kevin Santos and other 'Daddy's Gurl' cast and staff. He said it was his first time to be reunited with Oyo since March of that year. But, of course, in true Vic Sotto fashion, Mayor Vico Sotto had a punchline in his caption: “Binisita ko sila para maningil ng fees. 🤪”
Inappropriate photos
During lunch break updates on Facebook live on April 12, Mayor Vico Sotto appealed to Pasig residents to stop sending him inappropriate photos, especially those who received their COVID-19 vaccine jab in the butt. Although it was a serious appeal, Mayor Vico Sotto somehow made it sound funny. He said, “"Ang dami ko na pong iniisip. Huwag n'yo na pong idagdag 'yung puwet ninyo sa iniisip ko."
F4
Even Vico's colleagues in the international political scene got to experience his comedy stints. In this photo, the Pasig City mayor and his colleagues from Basilan, Indonesia, and Myanmar posed dramatically and point towards obviously a photoshopped star seemingly inspired from the famous fictional notorious senior group F4.
Letterhead
Vico got a taste of his own medicine when his staff in the city hall made fun of his photo and put it in their office's official letterhead as a joke bringing laughter to the city chief. Luckily enough, Vico is as cool as his staff!
High school
"Nice to see my high school classmates again," said Vico who posted a photo of him with a group of senior citizens.
Mother's Day 2021
In celebration of Mother's Day in 2021, Vico shared this beautiful old photo of them with a simple caption, "Happy Mother's Day, Mama!" What a wholesome caption, right?
