In the midst of fighting the pandemic COVID-19 disease for his constituents, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto was surprised when GMA News tagged him as a “tricycle operator” onscreen during a news report.
Vico poked fun at the GMA News booboo and said: “May tricycle pala ako!”
The story producer publicly apologized for the mistake of the chargen operator for tagging him as the operator and Vico accepted his apology adding that comic relief is okay during this trying time to lighten up the mood.

Vico said: “Don’t worry about it! Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan din natin ng konting comic relief.”
Before he concluded his tweet, Vico proudly announced that financial assistance was provided to 89 TODA and 2 PODA in Pasig City.
Don't worry about it! Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan din natin ng konting comic relief.
Wag lang po ito makita ng *** at baka isipin nila totoo!! Haha 😂✌✌
[Btw, speaking of tricycles… natapos na natin ang pamamahagi ng tulong-pinansyal sa 87 TODA + 2 PODA (padyak) ng Pasig] https://t.co/0KhjPdvHux
