Netizens tease Mayor Vico over clear photo, but no new phone

The clear photo that he posted was a far cry from the blurred TikTok video that he posted in December last year which went viral and became a source of amusement for netizens.

On April 8, the mayor posted on his Facebook page his stand against money politics and explained why he still has fewer campaign materials than other candidates running for local government positions.

Some netizens noticed that Sotto seemed to have upgraded his phone due to the good quality of the photo that he posted.
