Vico junked peace covenant proposal
By Nidz Godino
“We are coordinating with Schools Division Office of Pasig, has jurisdiction to investigate, resolve and prescribe interventions to address bullying within and outside school premises,” Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto rejected peace covenant proposed by his rival in the May 2025 midterm elections.
Politicians do not have to arrange their own peace covenant since Commission on Elections (Comelec) provides it every three years, Sotto said.
Businesswoman Sarah Discaya earlier said that her proposed covenant would stop mudslinging during campaign.
Discaya is hoping to replace Sotto, who is seeking reelection for third term.
Sotto alleged that Discaya owned St. Timothy Construction Corp. (STCC), local partner of South Korean firm Miru Systems.
In February, joint venture led by lone bidder Miru secured P17.9-billion contract to provide automated counting machines and other election paraphernalia in 2025.
STCC has withdrawn from joint venture, citing conflict of interest as some of its owners planned to run in midterm polls.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia is also facing allegations that he received bribes from Miru through offshore accounts. Garcia has denied accusation.
Graft charges were filed against Garcia and seven other officials on Aug. 20 over Comelec’s award of contract to Miru.
Pasig government does not condone bullying after video posted on social media showed student kneeling while being slapped and punched by suspect in front of other students.
“For the protection of both students, we enjoin public to be more circumspect in sharing video/s,” it noted.
