MANILA, Philippines — Pasig City Mayor-elect Vico Sotto laughed off claims yesterday by incumbent Mayor Bobby Eusebio that his camp cheated in the midterm elections. “He is the incumbent mayor, and the ballot boxes are at his disposal,” Sotto said. Sotto said he is willing to work with Eusebio for a smooth transition in the city government. Meanwhile, Sotto assured city government employees he would not fire those who supported Eusebio. He said employees need not be loyal to him but must be loyal to their work in serving the city’s residents.
