Sotto previously ran for vice president in the 2022 elections, but lost to former Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, daughter of then president Rodrigo Duterte. According to the official tally, he received the third highest number of votes after former senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, the wife of his niece Sharon Cuneta.
Prior to pursuing a career in politics, Sotto is best known for being a member of the OPM band VST & Company with his brother Vic and Spanky Rigor, which produced several music hits, such as “Ipagpatawad Mo,” “Awitin Mo At Isasayaw Ko,” and “Ikaw Ang Aking Mahal.”
He also was an irregular cohost of the long-running noontime show “Eat Bulaga” which is also being produced by his brother, Vic. EDV
