Mayor Vico Sotto on high campaign expenses: “MAS MALAKI PA ANG BABAWIIN”

Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto expressed his honest thoughts and sentiments as he warned the public over political candidates who are ‘buying votes’.

In his Facebook page, Mayor Vico shared to his fans and followers an alleged ‘vote-buying’ as a lady told her that some candidates were giving away cash to the voters. Mayor Vico also shared an example as he sent a warning to the voters that when political candidates spend big, they would want to recover it once they were elected.

“Pasakay na ako ng sasakyan, biglang may humawak sa braso ko. “Mayor Vico!” sabi ni Ate, “Nagpa-ulan sila ng pera dito kahapon! Pero wag ka mag-alala, alam na namin yun. Balak din nilang bawiin yun.”

Ang palusot ng ibang kandidato ay sariling pera naman daw nila ang gamit nila… Pero isipin niyo kung 300 pesos per person ang bigayan (madalas mas malaki pa diba).. Sabihin nating 1,000 people per day ang nakakasalubong nila (low estimate).. Nasa 200 days mula filing ng candidacy hanggang halalan..

300 pesos x 1,000 x 200 = 60,000,000.

Dito pa lang, baka mahigit 60 MILLION PESOS na ang gastos nila?? Ma-check nga ulit ang Forbes List, bilyonaryo ba sila??… 🤔😂

O baka naman funded sila ng mga taong miss na miss na ang lumang kalakaran ng lutong bidding at korapsyon sa city hall?

The truth hurts, but it is the truth: ANG MALAKI GUMASTOS SA KAMPANYA AY MAS MALAKI PA ANG BABAWIIN.

We have already started to break this cycle. Sa makabagong politika na tayo. Di tayo gagastos ng malaki, pero pag nanalo ay gagamitin ang pondo ng LGU ng buong-buo at walang bawas para sa taumbayan.
#TuloyAngPagbabago #IbaNaNgayon.” Mayor Vico wrote on his post.
