Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto announced Monday that he will not run for any post in the 2028 polls.“2028, hindi ako tatakbo. Ngayon pa lang sinasabi ko na sa inyo. Kaya malaya akong gawin kung anong tingin ko ang tama,” Sotto said during his inaugural address.He said his early announcement frees him from political pressure and allows him to fully focus on his mandate during his last term.

He also extended an olive branch to his political rivals, saying he is open to cooperation for the city's progress.“Hindi ninyo masasabi na may bahid ng politika. At 'yung hindi ko masabi noong campaign period, ngayon pwede ko na pong sabihin, sa lahat ng aming katunggali, we extend a hand of peace, we extend a hand of unity. Kung maaari, magtulungan tayo para sa ikagaganda ng ating lungsod,” he said.However, Sotto clarified that calls for unity do not mean ignoring past wrongdoings.
