The whole Sotto clan is rejoicing as Vico Sotto was proclaimed the new mayor of Pasig City on May 14, 2019.
On Instagram, Sotto siblings Danica Sotto-Pingris and Oyo Boy Sotto took the time to congratulate and share their thoughts over their half-sibling's landslide win.
Danica wrote, “I must admit that there were times when some of us felt worried and scared especially during the campaign period. Maraming nag alala at nagdasal para sayo. Mabigat ang kalaban pero di kayo sumuko. You have proven that FAITH should be BIGGER than our fears. I thank God for your heart to serve.”
Words aren't enough for Oyo Boy to congratulate his half-brother.
“#PasigCity - Congratulations @vicosotto! God is good!🏼🏼🏼," he wrote.

Vico's half-sister and visual artist Paulina Luz Sotto also took to social media to express her excitement as she heard the good news.
She wrote, “So sooooo proud of you brother!!!!!!! From annoying Kuya to MAYOR OF PASIG!!!!!! All your hard work truly paid off!!!”
On another note, Angela Luz, mom of Paulina, wrote an endearing post to congratulate the new mayor and even expressed how she won't be surprised to see Vico sitting in Malacañang Palace one day.

“And I have every ounce of faith in you, and know in my heart that one day you will become PRESIDENT! Now more than ever, I am proud to say you are my favorite Sotto... and soon the whole country will know why.”
Family friends of the Sotto clan likewise did not forget to say their congratulations to the newly-declared Mayor.
Vic Sotto's long-time friend, Joey de Leon, expressed his joy for Vico's win. Never to shy away from making a funny remark, the Eat Bulaga! host jokingly said he predicted the mayoral run way back when Vico was still a young kid.
He wrote: “Joey: “Hinuhulaan ko Constancia na sa year 2019 ay magkakaanak ka ng Mayor! At ito namang anak ko sa 2022 ay patatakbuhin ko...para kunin maintenance ko!”
Similarly, dabarkad Ruby Rodriguez also sent her warmest congratulations to Vico.
