It’s Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto’s birthday today. He just turned 31.
For his birthday, the mayor told people that those who are asking what gifts he wants today should just buy grocery food packs and give it to the less fortunate.

“Sa mga nagtatanong kung ano ang gusto kong regalo, bumili na lang po kayo ng grocery foodpack at ipamigay sa nangangailangan (pwede nyo i-drop off sa RED o sa mayor’s office; kung ano ang mas convenient),” he wrote on a Facebook post.
He also urged everyone not to give him a surprise party, noting that COVID-19 is still here.
“Pakiusap na wala munang celebration o surprise party. Hindi naman ako mahilig sa party at higit pa rito, bawal pa ang mga mass gathering.. buhay na buhay pa si Covid mga kaibigan,” he added.
He emphasized that he is already on the way to the office so if anyone has plans to surprise him, he stressed out, “Kung may binabalak kayo, itigil niyo na yan! ?”
Here’s his post on Facebook.
Happy Birthday, Vivico! <3
