April 26 ------ Vic Sotto is enjoying a month-long birthday celebration this April on his TV5 noontime show, “EAT Bulaga.”
But he had one of the most special B-day surprises over the weekend courtesy of his family. During the celebration, Vic was serenaded by all his kids — Oyo Boy, Danica, Paulina, Tali, with the exception of Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto — as well as grandchildren. “Thank you, thank you,” Vic repeatedly said during a brief interview with the press in between commercial breaks of the live telecast. “People I didn’t expect suddenly started singing, even Tali joined in,” he said of his children, including his six-year-old firstborn with Pauleen Luna. Their second child, three-month-old Mochi, was also spotted at the show. Bossing Vic, as he’s fondly called, couldn’t help but be emotional because “when it comes to children, may kurot.”
When asked about his gift for himself, he said, “Gift for myself? Nothing. This is it. We’re not the gift-giving type. It’s more of giving each other love every day, throughout the year.” Nevertheless, he shared what he was most grateful for at this time of his life. “I’m most grateful for the gift of family and the gift of friends,” he said. He could also say this was one of the most meaningful birthdays he had experienced. “Of course, we’ve been through a lot, so I would say that it’s really one of the happiest, most meaningful, so I highly appreciate it.” The veteran TV host and comedian’s actual birthday is on April 28. When asked how old he is, Vic quipped, “Basta senior.”
Sharing his “secret” to staying and feeling young, he said, “Just be happy, keep the good vibes going. You know, whatever challenges you face, just surrender them to God. You just need to be happy. Happy with what you’re doing. It’s great to have ‘EAT Bulaga’ every day, that’s what really keeps me feeling young.” Speaking of “EAT Bulaga,” he was requested to comment on the fake news peddled about the TV5 show. Asked what his take was, he quipped, “Eh ‘di fake.”
