MATALINO ka ba? Easygoing? Kung taglay mo ang mga katangian na yan, pasok ka na sa banga!
Yan ang dalawa sa mga qualities na hinahanap ni Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto sa isang babae. Kaya kung havey ka ng mga nabanggit ng katangian, pwedeng-pwede kang maging dyowa ng alkalde.
Sa panayam kay Vico ng online radio show ng RX931.1 hosted by Rico Robles, natanong muli ang binata tungkol sa lovelife.
But as usual, todo iwas pa rin ang anak nina Coney Reyes at Vic Sotto, “Wala, ayoko ‘yan! Wala munang lovelife. Next time na lang ‘yan.”
At nang matanong kung ano ang ideal girlfriend niya, mabilis niyang isinagot ang “matalino” at “easygoing.” Tulad din ng nabanggit niya sa isang panayam, hindi naman siya choosy pero gusto niya sana ‘yung intelligent, may itsura at may nalalaman din sa governance.
Kumusta naman siya kapag walang trabaho, “Outside of work, I’m fairly relaxed. Hindi ako masyadong intense, except when I’m playing basketball.”
Hangga’t maaari raw ay may isang araw sa isang linggo na makatulog siya ng 10 oras, “It is important to rest. We shouldn’t glorify yung mga, ‘Hindi ako natutulog for four days!’
“We need to recharge our bodies so we can be efficient in our work, even mentally,” aniya pa.
Hiningan din siya ng payo para sa mga kabataan ngayon na nais sundan ang mga yapak niya bilang public servant, “Well, whenever I talk in schools, especially in college or high schools, that if you want to be a leader, you have to be prepared.
“Ito masyado nang serious pero the saddest thing I’ve seen in government is when people with good hearts enter a leadership position and they end up doing the wrong thing kasi… ‘yung tipikal na nakain ng sistema kasi they weren’t prepared.
“Kumbaga, we need to ready and prepare ourselves tediously before entering into whatever position you want to get,” pahayag ni Vico.
Dugtong pa niya, “So,my number one tip is to study. As boring as it sounds, you have to study the process para hindi ka naloloko.
“Second, have a very good support system. That means, finding the people who are like-minded and people with integrity.
“That’s the first thing I did. When I won mayor, I knew I had to find people I could trust. Find people that I knew who had integrity and also who are competent.
“Madaling maghanap ng one or the other kasi it’s easy to find competent people and it’s easy to find people who have integrity. But to find people who are both, ‘yan ang mahirap hanapin,” paliwanag pa ng batang alkalde.
