In an unprecedented Adobo Chronicles exclusive, we sat down with comedy legend Vic Sotto and controversial director Darryl Yap to discuss the much-hyped lawsuit filed by Sotto over Yap’s new film, “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.” The movie’s trailer, deemed “libelous” by Sotto, had ignited a media frenzy and charges filed.

“Ito kasi, Vic,” Yap began, his trademark smirk in full force. “Art imitates life. The film is a nuanced exploration of—”

“Nuanced?! Nuanced ba ’yung mukha kong ginawa mong kontrabida sa trailer? Parang pinulot ako sa tambakan ng basura!” Sotto retorted, his comedic timing still intact.

“Vic, it’s all creative license! Di mo ba gets? ‘The Rapists’ is a metaphor! Kumbaga, it’s a… what’s the word? Parody!” Yap shot back, air-quoting furiously.

“Ah, parody pala ha? Eh parang di naman nagjo-joke yung abogado ko,” Sotto quipped, producing a folder marked Cease and Desist.

After hours of heated exchange, the pair surprised everyone by bursting into laughter.

“Panoorin mo na lang yung buong pelikula, Vic,” Yap offered. “Sige, Darryl, basta libre tickets ah,” Sotto replied, extending a handshake.

They ended the interview with a hug and a photo-op, leaving everyone confused about whether the lawsuit or the movie was the real comedy.

Was it all a show?
