He was given a Gold Award by the Department of Interior and Local Government during the 2nd
National Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) Performance Award

In a statement announcing the winners, the US State Department referred to Sotto as "a
standard-bearer for a new generation of Philippine politicians who prioritize anticorruption and
transparency initiatives in their election campaigns and in office." The US State Department also
noted that Sotto, then a councilor, was successful in pushing for the freedom of information
ordinance in Pasig that was passed in 2019. "Sotto has sought to establish himself as a new voice
with a new, more open method of governance,"

In his ordinance, All citizens are entitled to access, review, and copy public records, as well as to
publish and distribute them, according to the ordinance. Additionally, it is not necessary for
those who seek records to explain why they are doing so or even why they are interested in the
records.

For us to understand vico sotto, we must first know we he ran for mayor in pasig? The following
video clip will answer the question.
So basically, vico saw the Eusebio dynasty as the reason why pasig is not developing enough, the
constant corruption paired with the padrino system hindered development of some areas of
pasig.

So we chose nurture because of his educational background, he has a degree in political science
and a masters in public administration, coupled with his school ateneo, which has produced
many politicians, basically making an environment suited for shaping future public servants, his
parents did not have much of an impact in his choice of becoming a politician, as both of them
are entertainers in show business which shows no reason why vico chose politics over being an
artist.
