For Vic Sotto, criticisms are best addressed to its object.

Recall that blogger Lourd de Veyra, published on SPOT.ph last Jan. 3, a letter addressed to Vic from a fan’s (de Veyra) perspective on the latter’s 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry “My Little Bossings.”

Although it was intended for him, Vic revealed that he wasn’t able to read de Veyra’s letter.

“Mas maganda siguro kung diniretso na niya sa akin,” the “Eat Bulaga” host told PEP in an interview. He added that his girlfriend, Pauleen Luna, got affected after reading the blog post.

“Ako naman, I’m open to all criticisms, lalo na kung constructive,” Vic simply said.

Explaining his stance, he added, “Eto ’yung tinatawag nating demokrasya. Nirerespeto ko ang opinyon ng kung sino man, ganun din ang pagrespeto sa milyun-milyong nanonood, nasiyahan, at natuwa sa aming pelikula.”

In his letter, De Veyra expressed disappointment over the film co-starring Ryzza Mae Dizon, Bimby Aquino Yap, and Kris Aquino. He urged the 59-year-old actor to make films with better storyline that will stand the test of time and will be remembered 20 years from now.

What matters to Vic is that “My Little Bossings” is now part of history having been named the official MMFF topgrosser in last December’s festival, which ended with almost one billion peso-gross.

He is aware of the recent announcement of another MMFF entry that it is now the all-time highest grossing Pinoy film of all time.

Vic said, “Hindi ko na pinapansin ’yun. Ang importante, kung ano ’yung nasa official records ng festival committee ng Metro Manila Film Festival. Numbers lang yun, eh. Ang mahalaga, record-breaking itong festival na ito.”

Ryzza Mae’s big bonus

Vic shared in the same PEP interview that child wonder Ryzza Mae Dizon will be transferring to her new house soon.

He clarified that the young actress’ long awaited dream house isn’t by his help alone. “Ke bonus, ke hindi, tulong ’yun ng ‘Eat Bulaga.’”

Vic related, “Sa totoo lang, matagal nang naghahanap ang TAPE (Inc.). Medyo natatagalan na sila sa paghahanap ng bahay, dahil importante kung saan ’yung lugar. (Dapat) malapit sa kanila, ’yung hindi naman kalayuan sa trabaho, accessible sa eskuwela. Pero siguro, within this month, bago matapos itong buwan na ito, makakalipat na si Ryzza.”
