Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto told his constituents request for kisses once the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
The young mayor made the statement in jest when he visited Barangay Rosario in Pasig where some residents asked to kiss the mayor.
“Pasensya na po, bawal pa ang kiss. Ipagdasal po natin na matapos na ang pandemiya na ito,” the mayor said in a report on ABS-CBN News.

“Ako hindi ako mahilig mangako. Kahit balikan niyo po yung sinasabi ko noong kampaniya noong 2019, kahit 2016 hindi ninyo ako maririnig na nangangako… pero pangako ko po sa inyo, pagkatapos ng pandemiya, kahit mag-kiss po tayo puwedeng-puwede,” he said.
Some residents squealed over excitement on the mayor’s promise.
Some say that they will be the first in line once the pandemic ends.

Sotto is now running for re-election after winning in the 2019 midterm elections.
“Hindi pa naman po panahon ngayon ng kampaniya… pero sana maisip po natin na sa 9 months po — 9 months lang ako naging mayor sa normal na pamumuhay — kung ito po mga nagawa natin, ito yung napagtagumpayan natin, ito yung naaccomplish na natin sa maiksing panahon na may COVID pa, ano pa kaya ang puwede nating gawin kung wala na ang pandemiyang ito?” the mayor previously said.
