MANILA, Philippines — Pasig City Mayor-elect Vico Sotto on Saturday wished his opponent Robert “Bobby” Eusebio “inner peace” after receiving the latter’s electoral protest.

“Nag-file na po ng electoral protest ang kalaban ko,” Sotto said in a Facebook post, sharing a photo of his copy of Eusebio’s electoral protest.

“Sa akin, ok lang dahil lalong makikita ng lahat kung gaano ka-accurate ang resulta,” the 29-year old mayor-elect added.

[That’s OK with me so that everyone will see how accurate the results were.]

Sotto said that he wished Eusebio would find “inner peace to accept the truth” of the outcome of the 2019 mid-term elections.

“I’m just here, ready to work with him for a smooth transition, if & when he’s ready,” Sotto said.

Earlier, after Eusebio was reported to have filed a protest, Sotto was asked for his reaction. He said: “Medyo nakakatawa naman.”

INQUIRER.net reached out to Sotto about the matter, but he has yet to respond as of this writing.
