History
[edit]Giting ng Pasig was launched in July 1, 2021 as a local alliance for Vico Sotto's re-election bid in May 2022 elections. The party was then affiliated under Aksyon Demokratiko, who distanced themselves from national politics to focus for their local duties.[3] He then choose former Pasig Congressman Dodot Jaworski to be his running-mate.[4] Sotto was challenged by then-incumbent Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo, who is known for being an ally of Bobby Eusebio, which Sotto defeated in 2019.[5] The coalition emerged as victorious, with Sotto and Jaworski's victory,[6] with 10 councilors seated including actress Angelu de Leon.[7]
In 2025 elections, the whole slate of Giting ng Pasig led by incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto won. They presented their victory as principles and political platforms will prevail.[8][9]
