Recently, Vic Sotto filed a complaint against director Darryl Yap at the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (RTC) for cyber libel. Vic was joined by his wife Pauleen Luna in filing the complaint.

While speaking to reporters in an ambush interview, Pauleen shared her reaction to the teaser of Director Darryl’s film about Pepsi Paloma. According to Pauleen, the trailer of the film had a big impact on their family, especially when Vic’s name was mentioned in the teaser which is now spreading rapidly on social media.

“My husband’s reaction was the same. It’s the same. Of course, as parents and as his wife, we were affected,”  Pauleen said.

The actress stated that as parents and spouses, they cannot help but be affected by events, especially when it involves their family’s name and reputation.

The trailer of the movie became a hot topic of discussion among the public, especially when Vic Sotto’s name was explicitly mentioned in a line by Gina Alajar’s character as Charito Solis. This incident gave rise to questions and reactions from netizens, and Vic’s name could not escape the controversy.

As the discussion regarding the film and its impact on the personalities involved continues to intensify, Pauleen has shown that her family is not just famous television personalities, but also as people who have the right to defend their names and reputations.

Because of this, their decision to file a case against Director Darryl became even stronger. According to Pauleen, she is not just Vic’s wife, but also a mother who cares about the well-being of her family. In her statement, one can see the hardships of being part of a family known in the showbiz industry, where private lives are sometimes mixed with controversies caused by public attention.

Vic’s complaint against Darryl Yap sheds light on the issue of freedom of expression and its limitations, especially when it is undermined by defamation and misinformation. While everyone has the right to express their opinion, Pauleen emphasized the importance of respecting people involved in films or projects that deal with sensitive issues.

For now, the public continues to monitor the next steps in this case, and awaits Director Darryl Yap’s statement on the issue. The movie  The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma  continues to be the center of attention, but for Pauleen and Vic, valuing family and their dignity remains important.
