Senator Vicente Yap Sotto is considered one of the Unsung Heroes of the Philippines. WikiPilipinas refers to Senator Vicente Sotto as one of the so-called “Forgotten” People in Philippine history – people who, unfortunately, were not given much attention in traditional studies and mainstream histories, but are equally heroic in their own simple yet significant ways. (http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Unsung_Heroes)

He was called the "most militant and aggressive" of the Filipino advocates of complete and immediate independence in the first decades of the 20th century.His contemporaries called him the "Great Dissenter",an archetypal political oppositionist who fought for his convictions with little regard of the cost.A fighter of lost causes and "defender of the poor and oppressed", he was one of the most active and best-known criminal lawyers of his time.

Brief Biography of Senator Vicente Yap Sotto

Senator Vicente Sotto was born in Cebu City on April 18,1877 to Marcelino Sotto and Pascuala Yap.

He finished his secondary education at the University of San Carlos (formerly Colegio de San Carlos) in Cebu City. He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws and Judicial Science and passed the bar examinations in 1907.

In 1902, Senator Sotto entered politics when he ran for the municipal councilorship of Cebu and won. In 1907, he was elected mayor despite his absence during the election owing to his involvement in a court battle caused by a kidnapping suit lodge against him by his opponent, and was forced to stay in Hongkong. After seven years in the Crown Colony, Senator Sotto decided to return to the country in 1914.

In 1922, he was elected representative of the second district of Cebu until 1925. On November 1946, he ran for Senator and won and served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance until 1950.

When he died at the age of 73,his colleagues in the Senate of the Philippines remembered Senator Vicente Sotto as the recalcitrant,principled Sotto:

"The man was like a citadel,impregnable to political whims because strong beliefs formed the bedrock of his whole being(Senator Quintin Paredes);

"A great soldier of democracy and liberal thought"(Senator Tomas Confessor),

"His soul of steel never knew the word'surrender'(Carlos P. Garcia,8th President of the Philippines ).

"We have lost a fighter." Senator Lorenzo Tanada tersely said.

Senator Vicente Yap Sotto: Contributions to Culture and Letters

Sotto is also regarded as the Father of Cebuano Language and Letters. When he was only 22 years old (about 1899), he put up La Justicia, the first newspaper in Cebu published by a Philippine citizen, in which he defended the issue of Philippine independence. It was suspended on orders by the American military governor. In the week following, the undaunted Sotto begun publishing El Nacional. This was also ordered closed and Sotto was imprisoned at Fort San Pedro for two months and six days. After this experience, he begun using the pen name Taga Kotta (of the fort, or resident of the fort). He was found guilty of treason as a member of a committee of rebels along with those in Manila and Hong Kong. When he was freed in 1900, he published Ang Suga (The Light), which was first issued on June 16, 1901. He was forced to flee to Hong Kong in 1907. There he organized in 1911 the English-Spanish fortnightly The Philippine Republic. Its publication was stopped a year later and its editor was arrested. Sotto's extradition was requested three times by the American government but every time it was denied by the British courts. The Philippine Republic resumed publication after a month of suspension.In 1915, Sotto returned to Manila and begun work on a weekly journal he named The Independent. He issued a special edition of this journal in Paris in 1929. The news item prompted an American senator to introduce a resolution in the United States Senate to grant immediate independence to the Philippines.

Senator Vicente Sotto is best known for his achievements as nationalistic journalist,but he is equally famous as a creative writer. His play "Pahigugma sa Yutang Natawhan"(Love of Native Land),dramatized the Cebuano people's heroic struggle against Spanish feudal rule in the modern realist mode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebuano_theater

The first written Cebuano short story was Maming, by Vicente Sotto, The Father of Cebuano Literature. The story was published in the first issue (July 16, 1900) of his Ang Suga.

Two years later Sotto wrote, directed, and produced the first Cebuano play,Elena,a play in three acts. It was first performed at the Teatro Junquera (in what is now Cebu City) on May 18, 1902. The play established Sotto's reputation as a playwright.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elena_%28play%29

The dedication of the play by the playwright reads, "To My Motherland, that you may have remembrance of the glorious Revolution that redeemed you from enslavement. I dedicate this humble play to you."

Tributes to Senator Vicente Yap Sotto

  • "Vicente Sotto was a rock of Gibraltar in character because of the ruggedness of his conviction, the indomitability of his soul, the sublimity of his courage, and the depth of his faith in the ultimate triumph of justice. His knees no bending, his pen signed no retraction, his march saw no retreat, and his soul of steel knowns no surrender. He marshaled his efforts and used his influence to secure and safeguard for the press the fullest measure of freedom. By his death the country has lost a great patriot, his family has lost a loving and devote father, the Senate has lost an illustrious member..." - Carlos P. Garcia, 8th President of the Philippines'
