Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto once again charmed the internet with his candid humor after leaving a comment on the Pasig City Public Information Office’s Facebook post. The PIO had shared photos from the blessing of the city’s new Mobile Kitchen and 60 Emergency Cabinets—but it wasn’t the trucks or equipment that caught everyone’s attention.
Instead, it was Sotto’s comment: “Pano nyo ginagawa yung iba ibang font?”
Netizens, of course, couldn’t resist jumping in. One teased, “Palit muna ng phone, Mayor 😂,” while another shared a tutorial, “Research niyo lang po sa Google yung ‘copy paste fonts.’”
It didn’t help (or maybe it did) that Sotto’s phone has long been a running joke online. His followers have been teasing him for years about his “prehistoric” device, especially after he posted a few blurry videos on social media

Humor aside, the mayor has also been in the headlines for more serious reasons. Recently, Sotto helped spark public outrage over alleged corruption in infrastructure projects after questioning the favorable media coverage of contractor couple Curlee and Sarah Discaya.
But to satisfy Mayor Vico’s curiosity about fonts (and anyone else wondering the same thing), here’s a quick guide to switching up your font game online.
How to change your fonts online
Changing your font on Facebook isn’t something you can do directly on the app. The trick lies in third-party font generator websites that let you turn ordinary text into stylish fonts.
1. Search for a font generator
Type “font generator” in Google and pick a website. Some popular options include Lingojam, CoolFont, or Fancy text pro. To be safe, check the site’s reviews before using it.
2. Type your text
Enter whatever you want to post—your status, a comment, or even your Facebook bio.
3. Pick a font style
Scroll through the options and pick a style that fits your vibe. There are cursive, bold, italic, and other creative styles.
4. Copy the text
Click the copy button or manually select and copy the text.
5. Paste it on Facebook
Go to your Facebook post, comment, or bio, and paste the text.
6. Check it before posting
Some fonts may look different on mobile vs. desktop, so preview first to make sure it displays correctly.
Now the secret is all out! Fonts don’t have to be boring—take a cue from Mayor Vico Sotto and play around to make your text pop.
