Tito Sotto denies claim that Vic Sotto was sent script of Darryl Yap's Pepsi Paloma film
Senator Tito Sotto III denied claims that he or his brother, Vic Sotto, received the script for Darryl Yap's film "The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma."
Tito Sotto stated that a script copy was provided to Viva CEO Vic del Rosario, not to him or his brother.
Vic Sotto had previously filed 19 counts of cyberlibel against Yap concerning a teaser for the film that mentioned his name and accused him of rape.
Darryl Yap's legal counsel, Atty. Raymond Fortun, had initially claimed that a script was sent to an intermediary for a "Sotto sibling who's a senator."
Yap's camp has asked the court to consolidate the cyberlibel cases filed by Vic Sotto.
The court has issued a gag order requested by Yap, prohibiting Sotto's camp from publicly discussing the cyberlibel case.
