Meanwhile, Sotto linked Sara Discaya, his expected 2025 election rival, to owning St. Timothy Construction Corp. (STCC), one of the companies that was supposed to provide automated voting machines for next year's elections.
In a post on X, DZRH reporter Edniel Parrosa shared the Pasig City Mayor's stance on the STCC owner's candidacy.
“It doesn't make sense. This seems to be---malinaw na dummy. Malinaw na malinaw,” Sotto told reporters.
