00:00TV personality Vic Soto files a complaint against filmmaker Daryl Yap on Thursday,
00:06January 9 for a teaser of the upcoming film The Rapist of Pepsi Paloma, where his name
00:10was mentioned.
00:11The complaint, filed at the office of the prosecutor in Muntinlupa City, includes 19
00:16counts of violating Section 4 of Republic Act No. 10-175 of the Cybercrime Prevention
00:22Act of 2022.
00:24A Muntinlupa court has issued a writ of habeas data, ordering Yap to stop posting the film's
00:28teasers and promotional materials.
00:31He is also barred from releasing the film.
00:33The video, posted on Vin Sentiment's Facebook page on January 1, depicts a character asking
00:38Paloma if Soto was one of her rapists, to which she allegedly replied, yes.
00:43Soto says the complaint was not personal, but about holding irresponsible individuals
00:48accountable, especially on social media.
00:50Yap, who is directing the film, previously revealed the movie would revisit Paloma's
00:54rape case and death.
00:57In 1982, Paloma accused comedians Vic Soto, Joey DeLeon, and Richie DeHorsey of rape but
01:02later dropped the charges.
01:04In 1985, Paloma was found dead in an apparent suicide by hanging.
01:09Yap is the director behind the controversial movie Made in Malacanang, criticized for historical
01:13revisionism.
