- He was also commended because of his immediate action regarding COVID-19.
Since the enhanced community quarantine was imposed on the whole island of Luzon, citizens have been on edge regarding the implemented guidelines by the national government.
With this, several mayors have made the headlines because of them being proactive in the time of the pandemic.
Take for example Cainta Mayor Johnielle Keith “Kit” Pasion Nieto who has earned the praise and laughter of netizens. This is because of his witty updates about the LGU’s projects to fight COVID-19.
In one of his posts, he said that they will be distributing 100 gallons of alcohol for free. All people need to do is bring their own containers. His post earned some laughs when he requested for people not to bring a pail for the alcohol and to not proceed when hot-headed.
“At para naman dun sa walang pasensyang pumila na mabilis uminit ang ulo, wag na kayong pumunta,” he wrote.

He also patiently answered questions even though the answer is already in the post itself.

Another suggested for the LGU to give essentials to each household. He replied that they were too short-staffed to do that.
“‘Tas may FB pang sasagutin.”

Long before the Internet popularizes Vico,
the humble town of Cainta, Rizal is blessed with the 3-term leadership of Mayor Nieto. pic.twitter.com/gI2aPhu2pa— Rosella Jane (RJ) T. Vargas (@rj1421) March 17, 2020

To other Mayors and Barangay Captains – Mayor Vico of Pasig and Mayor Kit Nieto of Cainta are doing great work specially in the management of the COVID19 pandemic. Won’t hurt to adapt their best practices. As my friend said, “push the good ones into the light.”

With Mayor Vico getting a lot of praise, I also just wanna share appreciation for our (perhaps lesser known) Mayor, Kit Nieto of Cainta. He disinfected entire villages so quickly, in addition to the great job he’s done even prior to the quarantine. Thank you Mayor ☺️ pic.twitter.com/2ShCxjgsFe
