“Eat Bulaga” host Vic Sotto on Thursday accompanied his son Vico, who is running for councilor, to a “house-to-house” campaign in Pasig City.

The son of Sotto and actress Connie Reyes is eyeing a council seat as an independent candidate.

The father and son campaigned at Barangay Palatiw.

In a Facebook post, Vico kidded about his celebrity father “chaperoning” him on his campaign. “Medyo nagiging kakaiba nga lang ang tema ng ‘house to house’ kapag kasama na si Papa. Ang bangko nagiging stage at ang paglalakad nagiging parang motorcade na motorless.”

(The theme of “house to house” campaigning becomes different when I’m with Papa. The bench becomes a stage and the walk becomes a motorcade without cars.)

The candidate said their strategy of enticing voters was effective. “House to house ang pinakamagandang uri ng pangangampanya sa pang-lokal na halalan. Bukod sa panliligaw ng kandidato sa mga botante, mas nakikilala rin niya ang mga constituents niya at ang kanilang kalagayan at pangangailangan.”

(House to house [campaigning] is the best way of campaigning during local elections. Aside from wooing the voters, candidates closely meet their constituents and know their conditions and needs.)

In an Instagram post, the 26-year-old candidate thanked his father and his supporters for a “job well done.” Apart from his father, Vico was with other council hopefuls. Gianna Francesca Catolico, INQUIRER.net
