Noli De Castro trended on Twitter after making remarks on Mayor Vico Sotto’s proposal to exempt tricycles from public transportation ban.
“Nakikiusap po ako sa ating pamahalaan, baka po pwede natin bigyan ng konsiderasyon,” he said during the interview.
“Hindi po tayo nagde-defy. Susunod po tayo pero ito po — kung ok na ‘yung transport system natin para sa mga health workers at essential workers, ok na po ako. Ok lang kung naka-set-up na talaga. Kami po sinusubukan namin ang lahat…pero kulang pa rin po talaga sa ngayon,” Sotto added.
Dear Noli De Castro, listen to what Vico Sotto wants to say.

“Baka hindi alam” ni Mayor ang libreng sakay for the front liners, De Castro said after the special report on TV Patrol.
Following the De Castro’s remarks, supporters and followers of Vico Sotto took to Twitter to defend their Mayor. Here’s what netizens have to say about the issue.
Tangina neto ni Noli De Castro. The audacity to throw the blame on Vico Sotto kasi bakit daw pinapayagan ‘yung tricycles kesyo wala raw bang transport services ang Pasig to help the workers?
STFU. For all we know, your 6 years as VICE-PRESIDENT was total shit.

Dear Noli de Castro, STOP PAINTING Vico Sotto in a bad light just because he's asking permission to have tricycles operate in Pasig. May I remind you that you were involved in a corruption scandal with HLURB during your term as VP.

Noli de Castro's analysis is too simplistic: "National government says bawal, therefore that's right." Vico Sotto is on the ground in Pasig. He knows what people need.
Kabayan has wrong priorities. It's not just about the letter of the rules. It's about saving people!

Noli De Castro-three years as Senator, Six years as Vice President-Zero accomplishment
Mayor Vico Sotto- less than a year as Pasig Mayor- a mountain of accomplishments.— Noli De Cashtro (@DeusXMachina14) March 18, 2020
Anong problema ng news anchor nyo na si Noli De Castro? Why does he keep on implying that Mayor @VicoSotto is defying the order? Well in fact, the Mayor is suggesting for alternative solutions for those regulations that have countless lapses? @ABSCBNNews @TVPatrol

NOLI DE CASTRO looks very irritated at the report of JEFF CANOY about the vigor and dynamic measures and humane leadership of Mayor Vico Sotto.
Its because that is something he was not. Being VP during Arroyo's term, he showed no LEADERSHIP, NO DYNAMISM, NO HUMANITY.

In live TV Noli De Castro of TV Patrol makes @VicoSotto a fool in live TV to say that "hindi ata alam ni Mayor ang libreng sakay ng MMDA fo the front liners" (not the exact word). Of all the Mayors Vico Sotto gives the extra mile for his city and stand up for us! Thank you Mayor

Noli De Castro saying Vico Sotto should have done this and that on national TV but never forget that he himself did nothing as a Vice President 🤷🏻♀️

The audacity of Noli De Castro to criticize and be shady to Mayor Vico!!!! Bakit ano ba ang nagawa mo when you were in position?
— fitz (@fitzbaldovii) March 18, 2020
What’s wrong with Noli De Castro? I bet he can’t even surpass Vico Sotto’s accomplishments compared to his stint as Vice President. #qaqo
