Darryl Yap grateful Pepsi Paloma film allowed for release by court
A Muntinlupa court ordered director Darryl Yap to remove the teaser video for his film "The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma" after partially granting actor Vic Sotto's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Data.
The court found that Yap misused collected data by presenting an unverifiable conversation between two deceased individuals in the teaser.
However, the court allowed Yap to proceed with the film's production and release, citing artistic freedom, public interest, and consent from Pepsi Paloma's family.
Yap expressed gratitude for the court's decision and announced he will submit the film to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for review.
