Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto on Thursday filed an election complaint before the Commission on Elections against contractor Sarah Discaya for alleged overspending during the campaign period and perjury in connection with the 2025 midterm elections.

Sotto personally lodged the complaint with the Political Finance and Affairs Department of the Comelec, accompanied by his election lawyer, Atty. Romulo Macalintal.

In the 2025 elections, Sotto and Discaya were rivals in the mayoral race.

“I think it’s clear and blatant violations of election law. In fact, I don’t want to do this, but we want everyone in Pasig City to abide by the law. You need to obey the election laws,” Sotto told reporters in an interview.

The mayor said the complaint cites alleged violations of the Omnibus Election Code “for campaign spending in excess of the amount authorized by law” and Article 183 of the Revised Penal Code “for knowingly making false and material statements under oath in her statement of contribution and expenditure (SOCE).”

Sotto won the electoral contest, allowing him to serve his third and final term as mayor.
