An individual who introduced themselves as the grandchild of late showbiz manager Dr. Rey dela Cruz claimed that he had information that could link the passing of his grandfather to what happened to actress Pepsi Paloma.
It can be recalled that Pepsi, being managed by Dela Cruz, passed away in 1985 after months of scrutiny from the fans of comedians Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D’ Horsie.
Pepsi claimed that Vic, Joey, and Richie took advantage of her at a hotel.
Supporters of the accused blamed Dela Cruz for using the three comedians to promote his talent.
However, the netizen who claimed to be Dela Cruz’s grandchild denied such claims and even said that the talent manager’s passing was connected to Pepsi’s case.
In a Facebook post, Director Darryl Yap shared a message he received from the said netizen.
Darryl announced several weeks ago that he would produce a movie about Pepsi’s life.
“Let me introduce myself, apo po ako ni Dr Rey Dela Cruz, ang talent manager ni Pepsi, ang lola ko si Leoncia Dela Cruz ay panganay na kapatid nila Dr Rey,” he said.
“Meron ako information from a credible source from the National Police na ang pagkamatay ng lolo Rey ko ay connected sa pagkamatay ni Ms Delia Smith,” he added.
