Oyo Sotto on dad Vic Sotto: ‘Whether his decision was wrong or right, I still respect him’
Actor Oyo Sotto now has long hair. He says he hasn’t cut it yet because it’s necessary for his character as Vlad, a semi-retired vampire and padre de familia, in GMA-7’s new sitcom Vampire Ang Daddy Ko. In this sitcom, Oyo will play the father of his real-life father, Vic Sotto. Oyo said about the role of his father, “I was surprised, but I also think about it, it’s funny. “Because, people seem to know, he’s my father. “So, maybe when they watch it, they’ll think it’s weird that I call him ‘Son.’ “Then he calls me, ‘Daddy.’ It’s different!” PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) spoke with Oyo during the press conference of Vampire Ang Daddy Ko at Dulcinea restaurant in Tomas Morato,
Quezon City on Monday, March 4. Oyo also said that he and his father had a few takes during their first scenes. “We also had a few takes when I called him ‘Son.’ It seemed like we weren’t used to it, huh. “Well, the line was a bit dramatic. It seemed like it was hard to be serious.” REAL FATHER. In real life, Oyo is already a real father to his two children with his wife Kristine Hermosa—their adopted son Kiel and their daughter Ondrea. What about being a father in real life? “It’s hard to be happy… it’s fun,” Oyo said. “There’s really no easy job. “It’s hard to be happy because your priorities change. “Before, when you didn’t have children, you were busy, just yourself. “Now, everything you earn, you think you have to save. “So, that… even their food, they’ll eat it, clothes, the school… “Well, our adopted one, what’s up, he’s starting school. He’ll be five in August.” Ondrea is one year and two months old. How was Ondrea’s first birthday celebration? Oyo replied, “Yes, it was small. Just relatives and close friends. “Tin and I just talked about it, because we also want it to be memorable for the child so that, at least, when he grows up, he knows the people there, right? “Maybe later, when she grows up, she’ll say, ‘Who is this?’ “It’s hard, eh, it’s also hard to organize parties.” HOW IS KRISTINE? Kristine, since she and Oyo got married until she got pregnant and gave birth, hasn’t returned to acting. Does Kristine have any plans to go full-blast with her showbiz career again? Oyo said, “Actually, she’s going to do something on Channel 2, the webisodes. What they call webisodes on the Internet. “That’s just a little bit… the schedule just changed a bit. She’s been training. “She’ll just do a little bit of action. It’s not super-action, but it’s like that.” “But those are just webisodes, they’ll be aired online.” Doesn’t his wife have any plans to do a teleserye or movie? “There are… actually she wants to. “That’s just, maybe she’s just waiting for good material. “Because, it seems like she wants to do something new.” We also learned from Oyo that Kristine no longer has a contract with ABS-CBN, so she can work on any network. Oyo and Kristine already have their own house in Alabang, Muntinlupa, which is close to her father Vic Sotto’s house. Oyo’s reasoning is that anytime her father misses them, they can be close by.
GRANDFATHER VIC. How is Grandpa Vic? “Daddy, when he sees the kids, I feel like he has a flashback to when we were babies. “Maybe he misses the time when we were little. He would really hold them. He would kiss them over and over. “You know he loves kids so much… it’s fun to watch.” Did the grandchildren spoil him? “Oh, no, not at all. “That’s the good thing, he doesn’t spoil them. He lets us take care of the kids. “But when it comes to games, ‘The kids are mine.’” Do they see each other every Sunday? Oyo said, “Not every Sunday, but we try to at least two or three times a month. “Because, Daddy is really busy. “After all, the schedule isn’t that easy anymore when you have a family. “It seems like what you need to do comes first.” PAULEEN LUNA. Oyo smiled when we told him that when the entertainment press last spoke to Pauleen Luna, his daddy’s girlfriend, she said she felt the sincerity in Oyo’s statement that she wasn’t angry with him. Oyo said, “I’m not really angry. I have no reason to be angry. “And besides, of course, my daddy is my father. “So, wherever he is, whatever he wants, of course we will respect that. “Maybe what’s happening is, it’s just like a few.” As the father and son are together now on taping, do they also talk about Pauleen? “No, eh,” Oyo replied. “Because, we, we don’t really talk about things like that. “Even me, like when I was still studying, when I went to her room, she would say, ‘What, did you get someone pregnant? Did something happen?’ “I said, ‘No, Dad, nothing.’ “I said, ‘Tin [Kristine] and I are planning to get married.’ “So, she was surprised. She said, ‘Huh? Why? How did you think of getting married?’ “So, that’s it, I said, ‘I’ve reached the stage where I want to get married. I want to settle down.’ “That’s it, she was surprised.” What if one day her daddy tells her that he wants to get married? “Of course, I’d be surprised. “But, that’s it, of course respect will still prevail. “I can’t take away my respect for Daddy. “Whether his decision is wrong or right, I still respect him,” he said. In a previous PEP interview with Pauleen, she also mentioned that when there is a family gathering, she doesn’t go with Vic. So we asked Oyo if it’s okay for them if their father brings Pauleen with him when there are family gatherings? He replied, “Of course, it’s up to Daddy whether he wants to bring her or not. “I don’t think there will be any problem. “Maybe, if it lasts a while. “Because, I also remembered Pia [Guanio, Vic’s ex-girlfriend], about a year ago when I saw her at family gatherings. “Maybe it’s just timing.
