SAN CARLOS CITY, Pangasinan—Reelectionist Sen. Vicente “Tito” Sotto III received the loudest cheer from the crowd at a proclamation rally here on Friday when he promised to bring the noontime show “Eat Bulaga” to the province if the whole slate of Partido Galing at Puso of Senators Grace Poe and Francis “Chiz” Escudero wins in the May elections.
“Ito pwede nyong sabihin na suhol. Pero ito suhol talaga,” Sotto said during the rally held at the Department of Education Central 2 here.
“Pag si Grace at si Chiz nanalo dito sa San Carlos City at ang buong slate ng GP (Galing at Partido), itong lahat ng slate kasama mga mayor namin at mga konsehal, dadalhin namin dito ang ‘Eat Bulaga,’” he said.
“Dito kami magsho-show. Isasama ko yung dalawa. Sinong dalawa? Si Vic, si Joey at saka si Alden saka si Yaya Dub,” the senator said, referring to his cohosts Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, and the love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza more popularly known as AlDub.

While he is part of the senatorial slate of the Poe-Escudero tandem, Sotto has openly expressed his support for the vice presidential bid of Sen. Gringo Honasan, running mate of Vice President Jejomar Binay.
Sotto is also part of Binay’s senatorial ticket.
Apart from Sotto, the other crowd favorites during the rally were actor Edu Manzano, Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, who was also an actor before he entered politics, and Poe and Escudero. RC
