Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto said the local government has saved more than P414 million over the past eight months, thanks to their “realistic” public bidding for the procurement of the city’s goods and services.

“Simula nung Octobre hanggang ngayon, nakatipid ang ating gobyerno dahil sa makatutuhanan na competitive public bidding, nakatipid na po tayo ng P414.7 million ,” Sotto said on Thursday in his State of City Address as the city celebrates its 447th founding anniversary.

In his hour-long speech, Sotto also took a jab at those who continue their corrupt practices, saying that by doing so, they are going against a generation of Pasigueños who are sick and tired of corruption. It has been over a year since the then-29-year-old Sotto swore an oath as the new local chief executive of Pasig City. Since the start of his term, Sotto has embarked on an ambitious crusade to eradicate the culture of political patronage in Pasig City.

The local government has also partnered with the Anti-Red Tape Authority to eradicate bureaucratic red tape in the local government.
