Mayor **Vico Sotto** has once again stirred up public opinion with his strong response to criticisms directed at him. Recently, some skeptics questioned what he would do after leaving the position of Pasig mayor, even sarcastically saying that he would have difficulty “finding food for Atasha” – a malicious comment that received a very strong response from Vico Sotto.
As one of the youngest and most influential leaders in the Philippines, **Vico Sotto** has often faced criticism from many sides. However, this time, the story went further when someone hinted that if he were no longer mayor, he would have financial difficulties, even not being able to take care of Atasha.
In response to these sarcasm, Vico frankly replied:
**“I am not in politics to get rich. And even if I am no longer mayor, I can still make an honest living. So don’t worry about me or Atasha.”**
This statement immediately received strong support from the people.
It is worth noting that **Atasha Muhlach**, the daughter of the famous couple Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez, is completely unrelated to this controversy but was unreasonably dragged into it. Rumors about her relationship with Vico Sotto have been circulating for a long time, but neither of them has ever confirmed anything.
The fact that some people used Atasha’s name to attack Vico Sotto has angered the online community, saying that this is **unreasonable and disrespectful** behavior.
After Vico’s statement, netizens sided with him, criticizing those who attacked him without reason. Some notable comments:
– **”Vico Sotto has proven that he does not need the position of mayor to be successful. These criticisms are meaningless!”**
– **“Let Vico do his job. He is one of the rare leaders who truly cares about the people!”**
– **“Why drag Atasha into stories like this? It is disrespectful!”
Vico Sotto has long been known for his **honest, transparent and non-family-based** working style. He has repeatedly affirmed that he did not enter politics for personal gain, and this response only further solidifies his image as a steadfast leader who is not easily swayed by negative public opinion.
With this tough response, Vico Sotto has once again affirmed: **whether he is still mayor or not, he will stand firm and continue on his path!**
