In his commencement speech to the graduates of UP Law 2026, Mayor Vico Sotto shared that he is always asked by people how he keeps his integrity. They ask for his advice on the age old question of:
“Paano kami hindi kakainin ng sistema?”
As a result, he shared ten things he does or thinks about regularly to avoid being eaten by the system.
Here are the TEN THINGS that Mayor Vico Sotto does or follows to keep his integrity:
1. Preparation is more important than courage.
2. Make a list of non-negotiables and review them regularly.
3. When in doubt, choose faith conscience and integrity over money power and ambition.
4. Study cognitive dissonance and continuously identify how and where it affects you. Your decision-making and opinion-forming.
5. Get out of your echo chamber from time to time.
6. Check your ego every single day.
7. Have people in your life who share the same or similar principles, values, and beliefs.
8. Allow said people in #7 to keep you grounded.
9. Give these people the license to hold you accountable.
10. Have a healthy level of respect but also be willing to go against the status quo.
Then the crowd cheered in applause. 👏

I support doing all ten but I would like to personally highlight Numbers 3, 6, and 7! 💯
