Victor Ma. Regis Sotto o mas kilala bilang Vico Sotto, hinahangaan sa larangan ng pulitika dahil sa batang edad na 30 taong gulang ay isa ng Mayor ng Pasig City. Mas lalo siyang iniidolo ng karamihan dahil sa mga programa at malasakit na kanyang pinapakita sa kanyang nasasakupan, lalo na ngayong panahon ng krisis.
Pero alam nyo ba na hindi si Mayor Vico Sotto ang pinakabatang Mayor sa Pilipinas? Opo, maliban kay Mayor Vico may isa pa palang Mayor na nagkaka edad ng 23 taong gulang palang at maganda rin ang record sa pamumuno sa kanyang nasasakupan.

THE MILLENIAL MAYORS!
Ipinakilala niya si Mayor Arth Bryan C. Celeste, 23 years old, a graduate of BS Entrepreneurship at the De La Salle University in Manila. In 2018, he was elected Barangay Captain of Magsaysay in Alaminos Pangasinan. Last year, at the age of 22 he ran for Mayor of Alaminos City and won via landslide victory becoming the youngest elected official in the country today to occupy a mayoralty seat.
During the first several months of his term, he has achieved a lot for his constituents but the true test of his leadership came when the Luzon-wide quarantine was imposed by the National Government due to the threat of the coronavirus.
His first initiative was to hand out relief goods to 25,000 families in Alaminos City. He bought 730 kilos of vegetables and 10 tons of fruits from their own farmers using the city funds. He personally helped in the repacking and distribution of the bags (house -to-house) to each and every family.
When asked what gave him the idea to do that? He humbly replied,
” Marami pong vegetable growers ang naapektuhan ng COVID-19 quarantine. Hindi po nila maibenta ang kanilang mga produkto kaya bilang tugon, binili po ng ating lokal na pamahalaan para hindi po ito masira at ito’y mapakinabangan. Kasama po ito sa mga ipamimigay natin na pagkain sa ating mga kababayan.”
And he’s absolutely right! If Mayor Vico is doing an excellent job in Pasig, Mayor Bryan is one leader who is definitely ON FIRE! ♨️
Kaya hindi nakabase sa pagkakaroon ng matagal na Experience sa pulitika para maging mabisang pinuno ka, pinatunayan ito mismo ng mga batang leader na ito. Godbless po sa inyo.
