Vic Sotto emotional at trial of cyberlibel case vs Darryl Yap
Vic Sotto testified emotionally before the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court in his cyber libel case against director Darryl Yap.
The case stems from a teaser for Yap's film, "The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma," which allegedly implied Sotto raped actress Pepsi Paloma without factual basis.
Sotto stated in his affidavit that the teaser exposed him and his family to online ridicule and threats.
His lawyer, Atty. Enrique Dela Cruz, argued that the teaser omitted crucial context, presenting a publicity stunt as fact.
Dela Cruz explained that the full script shows the line was "Oo, alam ko ang ginagawa ko" (Yes, I know what I'm doing), not just "Oo" (Yes).
Yap's legal team declined to comment on the proceedings.
