Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto warned residents on Monday about scams using his face and identity, including an AI-generated video falsely showing him promoting online gambling.
He also flagged text message schemes, such as fake alerts allegedly from the Land Transportation Office containing malicious links.
Sotto cautioned the public to be extra careful as these scams can appear very realistic, even mimicking his voice.
Meanwhile, during the flag-raising ceremony, 59 retiring and soon-to-retire Pasig City government employees were recognized under the Service Award for Retirees 2025 for their 15+ years of service.
Awardees received plaques, personalized Fossil watches, and gift certificates, with Sotto praising their dedication as pillars of honest governance.
