Vic Sotto thinks his “Eat Bulaga” co-host Wally Bayola must make a public apology for his sex video scandal before he should be allowed to return to the show.
Vic, one of the acknowledged pillars of the 34-year-old daily noontime variety show, told Kris Aquino in an interview on the latter’s morning program “KrisTV” on Wednesday that he could ask management to bring back Bayola.
“For me personally OK lang naman, but he has to apologize. I think people will people understand. Alam ko naman mapagpatawad ang Pilipino,” he said.
Wally has taken a leave of absence from “Eat Bulaga” since early September after a sex video featuring himself and one of the show’s resident dancers, Yosh Rivera, leaked online.
One-half of a comic duo with fellow “Eat Bulaga” co-host Jose Manalo, Wally is married and has five children, the eldest of whom is 18.
In the same interview with Kris, Jose said his partner had, in fact, broken his hiatus recently when they appeared together at a fundraising event in Olongapo City. They had been booked for the event before the scandal broke out.
The duo received an award from the organizers, after which, Jose said, Wally addressed the crowd briefly, “Maraming salamat sa muli n’yong pagtanggap sa akin.”
Jose said he took over the microphone and apologized on Wally’s behalf, without directly referring to the sex video scandal.
In an interview with InterAksyon in late October, another “Eat Bulaga” co-host, Michael V., said the public should give Wally a second chance in the spirit of Christmas.
““Malapit na naman ang Pasko na panahon ng pagpapatawad at pagbibigayan. Sana naman makabalik si Wally,” he said.
