■ The Mayor Who Makes All Corrupt Leaders Look Bad

Some politicians spend years perfecting the art of saying nothing.

Vico Sotto isn’t one of them.

This week, while others might have dodged questions or hidden behind press releases, the Pasig mayor went straight for the jugular.

After President Marcos Jr. revealed ₱100 billion worth of irregularities in flood control contracts, Vico named names—two of the top 15 contractors, both owned by the Discaya family, his former political rivals.

And he didn’t just drop a bomb and walk away.

He laid out what he calls the Six Stages of Corruption in government projects—starting from rigged bidding, to ghost projects, to SOPs that eat half the budget, all the way to turning stolen public funds into political capital.

It’s the kind of transparency that makes a lot of powerful people very uncomfortable.

This isn’t new for him.

The U.S. State Department once called him an International Anti-Corruption Champion.

The Senate honored him for removing kickbacks in Pasig’s contracts, setting up hotlines for complaints, and slashing contract prices to cut bribery.

Even as a councilor, he wrote Pasig’s own transparency ordinance—Metro Manila’s first localized FOI law.

And here’s the part that makes him different: he’s not just exposing corruption, he’s taking action.

He’s pushing legal cases to collect millions in unpaid taxes from these companies.

He’s promising to send every red flag directly to the President.

And his administration’s track record—billions saved, salaries raised, workers regularized—proves it’s not just talk.

When Malacañang itself tells all mayors to follow Vico Sotto’s example, that’s not flattery. That’s an admission: this one guy is making the rest look bad.

Leaders like him know the danger of speaking up. But they also know silence is the oxygen corruption breathes. And Vico refuses to give it air.

To every leader, from barangay captain to senator:

Stop making excuses. Stop pretending you don’t know what’s going on.

Start doing what’s right, even when it costs you.

Because in a country where corruption has been normalized, Vico Sotto is proof that integrity is still possible.

The only question left is—do you have the guts to follow his lead?
