Vico Sotto says no to surprise party on his birthday: May binabalak kayo, itigil niyo na yan


Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto has appealed for foodpacks instead of gifts as he celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, June 17, with a message to his staff not to hold a surprise party for him.

In a tweet, Sotto, who turned 31, encouraged netizens planning to give him presents to donate foodpacks instead to those in need.

"Sa mga nagtatanong kung ano ang gusto kong regalo, bumili na lang po kayo ng grocery foodpack at ipamigay sa nangangailangan (pwede nyo i-drop off sa RED o sa mayor's office; kung ano ang mas convenient)" he said.

Sotto also called on his supporters to refrain from holding a celebration or surprise party for him, amid the prohibition of mass gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Pakiusap na wala munang celebration o surprise party. Hindi naman ako mahilig sa party at mas mahalaga pa rito, bawal pa ang mga gathering.. buhay na buhay pa si Covid mga kaibigan!" he said.

"Papunta na po akong opis ngayon. May binabalak kayo itigil niyo na yan! ????" the Pasig City mayor jokingly told his staff. --Jamil Santos/KBK, GMA News
