MANILA, Philippines — Actor-comedian, television host and producer Vic Sotto filed a cyber libel complaint against the maker of a movie trailer that linked him to a controversial case involving the death of a starlet years ago.
Sotto was accompanied on Thursday by his wife Pauleen Luna as he personally lodged the complaint before the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court against film producer Darryl Yap over the “Pepsi Paloma” trailer. Paloma was one of several starlets whose screen names were taken from popular softdrinks brands.
Sotto’s name was allegedly mentioned in the trailer during a confrontation scene in the movie. Sotto, former senator Tito Sotto and fellow actor and host Joey de Leon were once linked to the death of Paloma although the three denied any involvement and investigation on the case was eventually dropped.
