Veteran host Vic Sotto answered the press’s questions about the actors and actresses who agreed to appear in director Darryl Yap’s movie about the life of Pepsi Paloma.
In an interview with the media, Vic said that he understood that the casts of the shows were only there as part of their profession.
“Trabaho lang yun. No problem,” said Vic.
The film included some well-known and talented artists, including Gina Alajar (as Charito Solis), Sharmaine Buencamino (as Pepsi’s mother), Mon Confiado (as Dr. Rey de la Cruz), and Rosanna Roces (as Divina Valencia).
Some artists remained silent on Vic’s decision.
It can be recalled that Vic filed 19 counts of cyber libel charges against Darryl and asked the director to pay P35-M in damages.
The damages may increase if they find that the issue affected Vic’s contract.
Vic’s camp also petitioned for a writ of habeas data to prevent Darryl from publishing the movie.
Meanwhile, Darryl said he was ready to face Vic in the court.
Vic’s name was mentioned in the film’s trailer, which, according to his lawyers, affected his family, including Pauleen Luna and Tali Sotto.
