During Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto's online forum with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines on April 22, something totally unexpected and hilarious happened. During the live Zoom call, the background photo of a naked man, which was super NSFW and inappropriate for a public video-appeared.
If you don't believe us, watch the actual live video and fast-forward to the 14:59 mark:
Just as Sotto was saying, "Definitely we will not shut down establishments that are selling food and other necessary supplies," the image appeared for just a split second. But that split second was enough to fluster even the mayor. He stopped talking for a few seconds and even smiled a little. Totally understandable!
Zoom has a feature where you can choose different backgrounds for your online calls. It looks like someone in the call was using the image as their background.
The video went live at around 10 a.m. on April 22, and has accumulated 79,000 views and 1,492 shares as of this writing.
Sotto on April 23 had another Zoom conference call. But this time, according to him, "walang participant na nag-background [nang] naka-BOLD."
