MANILA, Philippines – From festival box-office king to new grandfather, Vic Sotto has much to celebrate this new year. But apart from his continued success—as with “The Buzz” special co-host Ai Ai delas Alas’ description of him as “mayaman, pogi, box office king” in their taped interview on “The Buzz” aired on Jan. 1—showbiz watchers still haven’t lost interest in Bossing’s love life.

Following recent rumors of a blossoming relationship with “Eat Bulaga” co-host Pauleen Luna—this, despite still working with former flame, Pia Guanio (who insists, every chance she gets in interviews, on being happily married)—Ai Ai asked: “Kumusta naman ang heart mo?”

“Awww… Ikaw naman, tinanong mo pa, alam mo namang steady lang ako,” Vic replied, with a smile, obviously refusing to address the intrigues. “The word for the day is steady. ‘Pag sinabing steady, ‘pag pinagusapan ‘yung love life, parang ikaw lang, ‘di ba?”

He also expounded, “Ang love life, para sa akin, marami kang pagkukunan ng love life eh. Love life mo with your kids, ‘yung mga apo—lalo na ako may bago akong apo. Mga kaibigan, mga mahal mo sa buhay.

Love is an angel

As a new grandfather to Ondrea Bliss, the newborn baby girl of his son Oyo Boy Sotto and wife Kristine Hermosa, Vic shared his happiness over this recent development.

“Nakita ko ‘yung excitement ni Oyo at ni Tin. Although hindi ako nakapunta sa hospital, kumpleto yung report niya [Oyo] eh. From the house, ‘on our way to the hospital.’ Pagdating dun, ‘5 cm na.’ Tapos naging delivery room…”

He added, “A little after 12, nag-text na si Oyo. ‘Lumabas na siya! Yahoo!’ Ang una kong tinanong, ‘How’s the baby? How’s Tin?’ [Sagot niya,] ‘Everything’s okay.’”

Enteng, Ina: reunited?

With the success of the Metro Manila Film Fest entry, “Enteng ng Ina Mo,” Vic related, “Wagas na wagas ang pasasalamat natin kay Lord siyempre, at sa lahat ng mga manonood ng pelikulang Pilipino… na sumusuporta sa festival taon-taon. Ang mas nakakatuwa lang ngayon, marami tayong record na na-break.”



As for 2012, he said, “I want it to be better than 2011, definitely. Lahat naman tayo parating ganon eh.”

As early as now, though, Ai Ai got Vic to share his possible plans for MMFF in 2012. “Ah, depende sa paguusapan natin ‘yan,” Vic stated. “Dahil ay maraming pwedeng mangyari. Isa na diyan ay ‘yung ating pagtatambal muli. Ang pagpapatuloy ng storya ni Ina Montecillo, and tanging ina, at ni Enteng Kabisote.”

A visibly elated Ai Ai then began chanting softly, “Sinabi niya! Sinabi niya!”

Indeed, if this pushes through, that would be another box-officer record breaker to expect before this year ends.

Ai Ai, Boy dish on Vic

During the in-studio discussion, after thanking people for supporting “Enteng ng Ina Mo” and expressing gratefulness about other blessings in her life, Ai Ai discussed Vic Sotto with host Boy Abunda.

Asked if Vic would, hypothetically, try to woo her, she replied without batting an eyelash, “Hypothetically, yes din.”

Boy then asked, “Kung liligawan mo si Vic Sotto, may pag-asa ka ba?”

She, however, replied quickly, “I think no.”

Asked to describe Vic, Ai Ai said, “Misteryosong nilalang, at Bossing ng buong sambayanan.”

When Boy agreed about Vic being mysterious, Ai Ai added, ‘Yun nga ‘yung ano niya, kahit patay na patay sa kanya ‘yung mga babae.”

Boy expounded, “Parang hindi mo mabasa. Hindi mo alam kung saan. Pero you know he’s a good man; compassionate; a good friend; pero hindi niya ibinibigay ang lahat—tama lang. Kaya lalo ang tao mas nagiging interesado sa kanya.”

In closing, Ai Ai added another observation, “Suplado si Bossing ‘pag nakita mo, ‘di ba? Pero sa totoong buhay, alam mo kung bakit? Kasi si Bossing, mahiyain.”
