Sotto also said that there is no need for drama and suspense, work must be the top priority. “Nag-file na po ako kaagad ng COC para tapos na, di naman kailangan ng drama at suspense. Basta, panahon man ng pulitika o hindi, uunahin natin ang trabaho.”

He then talked about the city during his term and how the pandemic affected their projects: “Simula 2019, ang laki na ng pagbabagong naipakilala natin sa Pasig. Sa pagbubukas pa lang ng procurement/bidding, nasa 1 BILYON PISO KADA TAON ang binaba ng mga presyo ng mga binibili/pinapagawa ng LGU. Ngunit nahirapan tayo at maraming proyekto na naantala dahil sa pandemya. 9 months lang ako naging mayor sa normal na sitwasyon.”

Afterward, he explained his plans for the following term. “Kaya sa susunod na term, magtulungan tayo para bawiin ang oras na ninakaw sa atin ng COVID-19. Nandiyan na ‘yung mga reporma. Iba na ngayon. Paiigtingin na lang natin at sisiguraduhin na damang dama ng bawat Pasigueño ang mas pinabubuting serbisyo ng pamahalaang lungsod,” the mayor promised.

Finally, he asked for the cooperation of citizens to give him dependable teammates. “Ang hiling ko lang sa inyo, bigyan niyo ako ng mga kasanggang MAPAGKAKATIWALAAN natin.” He explained, “‘Yung hindi puwesto o pera ang habol, kundi yung magiging katuwang ko para paigtingin pa ang mga reporma’t serbisyo ng pamahalaan.”
