Vico Sotto Learns a New Trick on Facebook
VICO SOTTO – It seems like Mayor Vico Sotto just leveled up his Facebook game! His recent post flaunting a fancy font caught the attention of thousands of amused netizens.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto once again brought smiles to social media users after his recent Facebook post went viral. On the night of October 15, the well-loved mayor shared an update announcing the start of construction for the new Pasig City Hall.
However, what really drew attention was his clever use of a cursive font to highlight the phrase “The New Pasig City Hall,” while keeping the rest of his message in Facebook’s standard font—an amusing display of his newly discovered online skill.
This came shortly after Sotto had publicly expressed curiosity about how to use different fonts on Facebook. In a comment under a post from the Pasig City Public Information Office, he asked, “Pano niyo ginagawa yung iba ibang font.” The straightforward question quickly spread across social media, earning over 45,000 laugh reactions and close to 900 comments from amused followers.
Sotto’s lighthearted comment perfectly matched his reputation as a relatable and “low-tech” public servant who doesn’t take himself too seriously. Many supporters offered tips in response, while others admitted that they were just as curious about the feature.
Just two days later, Sotto showed that he had learned fast. His post featuring the elegant cursive text drew massive engagement, collecting more than 85,000 reactions. Netizens flooded the comments with jokes, applause, and admiration for the mayor’s playful spirit and eagerness to learn something new—even a simple social media trick.
The wholesome moment added to Sotto’s list of viral hits. Not long ago, he also entertained the public with a witty “umbrella” joke while driving a city truck, another example of his humorous and approachable nature.
Once again, Mayor Vico Sotto proved that authenticity and humor can make even the most ordinary moments memorable. Whether it’s testing out a new Facebook feature or sharing a funny quip, he continues to charm the public—showing that connection and sincerity never go out of style.
