"Gamitin n'yo na lang po yung pera sa mas nangangailangan," says Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto to supporters who plan to give him birthday gifts.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto discouraged his supporters from sending birthday gifts.
During his live update for Pasigueños on Monday, June 14, Mayor Vico was flooded with birthday greetings from his fans and followers.
The son of Vic Sotto and Coney Reyes will turn 32 on Thursday, June 17.
Before ending his live update, the mayor thanked everyone for his greeting. He also reminded his supporters not to give him any gift for his birthday.
"Maraming salamat sa mga bumabati sa atin. 'Wag na po kayo magpadala ng regalo ha?" said Mayor Vico.
Instead, he told his supporters to use the money to help those in need.
"Kung gusto ninyo, bumili na lang po kayo ng food pack, bigay n'yo po sa nangangailangan.
"Huwag na po kayo magpadala sa akin. Okay na po ako," he said.
He further noted, "Huwag na po masyadong ano... Hindi naman talaga ako nagse-celebrate ng birthday, trabaho lang nang trabaho.
"Salamat pa rin kung sakaling meron man. [Ang] bati ninyo sapat na, hindi na kailangan ng regalo.
"Baka may nagbabalak pa magpadala, huwag na po. Gamitin n'yo na lang po yung pera sa mas nangangailangan. Okay lang po ako."
Last year, Mayor Vico also discouraged his staff from preparing a surprise party for him. Likewise, he asked his supporters to donate food packs instead of giving him gifts.
