Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto recently found himself at the center of an online discussion, not for his policies but for his phone, after netizens noticed the seemingly low resolution of his mobile phone in a TikTok video.
The millennial mayor had posted a video showcasing the city's annual "Pamaskong Handog" program, where residents receive food packs through the PasigPass QR code. While the video highlighted the initiative, many couldn't help but focus on the quality of the footage.
Jokes about the phone's age and the mayor's apparent lack of interest in the latest gadgets quickly filled the comments section. Some even playfully suggested that it might be a municipal CCTV camera.
Sotto, known for his witty responses, didn't shy away from the playful banter. He acknowledged the comments, expressing surprise that people were more interested in his phone than the message he was trying to convey.

The incident sparked a broader conversation about simplicity and priorities. Financial consultant Chinkee Tan, who had a personal encounter with the mayor, confirmed Sotto's preference for a more basic phone, highlighting the mayor's focus on functionality over the latest trends.
This
episode has not only shown Sotto's sense of humor but has also
reinforced his image as a down-to-earth public servant who prioritizes
service over personal luxury.
