Dahil sa pagdawit ng pangalan sa Pepsi Paloma movie: VIC, balitang maghahain ng reklamo laban kay Direk DARYLL

AYON sa naging ulat ng TV5, maghahain daw ng reklamo ang TV host-actor-producer na si Vic Sotto laban kay Darryl Yap matapos mabanggit ang kanyang pangalan sa teaser ng biopic ng yumaong aktres na si Pepsi Paloma.

Sa first teaser ng “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma” na pinagbibidahan ng teen actress na si Rhed Bustamante, ka-eksena niya dito si Gina Alajar na gumaganapa naman bilang Charito Solis, ay dito nga nabanggit ang pangalan ni  Bossing Vic.

Maghahain daw ang reklamo ngayong araw, January 9 sa Muntinlupa City Regional ayon sa legal counsel ni Vic.

Samantala, nauna nang nilinaw ni Direk Darryl ang mga kontrobersyang naglalabasan sa ginagawang pelikula. At kabilang na raw dito ang mga nagsasabing isa lamang daw itong “diversion” para mailihis ang mga tunay na isyu sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr..

Nabanggit din niya sa naturant post ang pangalan ni Bossing Vic.

“Pepsi and I—we are Olongapeños. But more than that, this story has haunted the public consciousness for decades,” painful niya.

“As a filmmaker who started out in social media, I don’t choose these stories; they choose me.

“Social media keeps resurrecting it, raw and unresolved, like an open wound. And when something keeps coming back like that, you realize—it’s not just a story, it’s a reckoning.

“I felt a responsibility to confront it,  to dig into the truth, no matter how uncomfortable, and present it in a way that demands to be seen and felt.”

Dagdag pa niya, “About Sir Vic Sotto, I’m not sure whether to offer an apology for his name being mentioned in the film.

“The truth, after all, is unapologetic.  As a public figure tied to a public story, I believe there’s an understanding that stories like this will inevitably resurface.

“My role as a filmmaker isn’t to pass judgment or provoke—it’s to tell the story as it happened, with honesty and respect for the facts.

“I trust that those who will watch the film will see it for what it is: an attempt to shed light on a controversy that refuses to be forgotten.

“I respect my fellow artists, I respect the pillars of the industry, but what I respect most is the Truth in my heART.”

Tiyak na aabangan ng media ang paghahanin ng reklamo ng kampo ni Vic Sotto, at kung ano ang magiging hakbang tungkol dito ni Direk Daryll.
