Oyo Boy Sotto Shares Paternal Insights Learned from His Dad Vic Sotto
OYO BOY SOTTO – Actor and host Oyo Boy Sotto shared the fatherhood lessons from his dad Vic Sotto.
Oyo Boy Sotto shared insights into how his father, Vic Sotto, ensured strong bonds among his children despite having different mothers. Reflecting on the fatherhood lessons gleaned from Vic, Oyo emphasized his father’s unwavering humility, evident even after years of success with “Eat Bulaga” and the TVJ trio.
Vic’s enduring love and equitable treatment of all his children left a lasting impression on Oyo and his siblings.
Oyo Boy Sotto recounted childhood memories of frequent playdates hosted by their father, where they bonded with siblings from different households, fostering a sense of family unity. As they grew older and started their own families, their time together naturally decreased. However, regular gatherings, particularly during Vic’s birthday and impromptu dinners, ensured that their sibling bonds remained strong over the years.
Despite having children from different mothers — Oyo and Danica with ex-wife Dina Bonnevie, Vico with Coney Reyes, Paulina with Angela Luz, and the youngest, Tali and Mochi, with Pauleen Luna—Vic made sure they all felt equally loved and included.
“And yung pagmamahal niya sa amin. Si Daddy, talagang all throughout, kahit siempre magkakahiwalay kami na magkakapatid, iba-iba kami ng nanay pero never namin naramdaman yun kay Daddy. Pantay-pantay kami lahat,” he said.

Despite Oyo’s reassurances for Vic to focus on his own immediate family, Vic’s steadfast insistence on caring for all his children remains a testament to his boundless love and commitment.
“Sobra yung sipag at pagmamahal ni Daddy sa amin that sometimes, we’re the ones already telling him, you have your own family na, don’t worry about us too much. Of course, focus on Pauleen, on Tali and on Mochi but siya yung, ‘Di pwede, mga anak ko kayong lahat.’”
