‘Mwah Mwah Tsup Tsup’: Vic Sotto steals scene at Gilas match in support of son-in-law Marc Pingris

Popular comedian and television host Vic Sotto has thrown his full support the Philippine national men’s basketball team at the Mall of Asia Arena.

For the second time in the tournament, Sotto attended a match on Wednesday night to support Gilas Pilipinas, especially his son-in-law Marc Pingris. This time, he was with girlfriend and “Eat Bulaga” co-host Pauleen Luna.

Even as a member of the audience during the Philippines-Hong Kong match, ‘Bossing’ Vic was able to leave the crowd in stitches. When the ball went out of bounds directly to him, he grabbed it and squared up as if preparing to shoot a jumper at the basket, much to the delight of the crowd.

That moment added a bit of levity to help ease up the fans, who were tense for a good chunk of the match as Gilas had trouble putting away its lightweight opponent.

According to Pingris, it was his first time to see his father-in-law squaring up for a shot.

“Hindi ko pa nakita mag-basketball si Daddy,” he told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview.

For the San Mig Coffee forward, the presence of his in-laws has been a big source of inspiration. “Thankful talaga ako sa kanila kasi grabe yung suporta nila sa akin,” he said.

He noted how Sotto has been going out of his way despite his busy showbiz schedule to catch the games of the Philippine team.

“Grabe yung suporta niya sa akin pati na rin sa Gilas. Yung konting available time niya binibigay niya pa rito. So thank you Daddy, I love you.”

Have Vic and Pauleen finally gone public with their relationship?

MANILA, Philippines – In spite of being evasive about the real score between them, Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna are now said to be “open” with their controversial relationship.

Although the tabloid that carried this report did not cite proof or any other details, other tabloid reports noted that the two, together with several of their fellow “Dabarkads” on “Eat Bulaga,” flew to Macau earlier this week to celebrate Vic’s birthday.

The ace host-comedian turned 58 last April 28, the same day that Pauleen, 23, reportedly posted an intriguing “Happy birthday to you, love!” on her Facebook account.

When she was asked of her birthday wish for Vic, Pauleen reportedly said “good health,” “happiness,” and “peace of mind." Reports said she also doesn’t have a gift for her rumored beau.

It was late last year when rumors about Vic and Pauleen’s romance hit the headlines. The two, however, kept silent on the matter. And even when the latter was cornered by the press in a huddle last month, Pauleen only intimated that her heart is in a “happy place.”

She likewise maintained that “even before all the tsismis and when I was starting in [‘Eat!] Bulaga,’ we had a good relationship and it’s good.”

Their rumored relationship was met with alleged disapproval from Vic’s children, including actor Oyo Sotto. To this, Pauleen simply said, “I respect everybody's opinion.”

“For me, as long as I know that I’m not doing anything wrong, as long as I’m not stepping on anybody’s toes and long as I know that I am not hurting anybody intentionally, I’m good,” she added.
