Vic Sotto in high spirits

SOTTO wants coming wedding ceremony private and intimate.

Vic Sotto is ending this year, and welcoming the next one, in high spirits.

While he’s busy promoting his entry in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, the romantic comedy movie, “My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore,” Vic’s fiancée, Pauleen Luna, has been taking charge of preparations for their wedding in January next year.

And amid this outpouring of blessings, the actor-television host couldn’t be more grateful. “God is good. Things have been going well, not just for me, but for everyone in my life—my family, friends. I think when you do good things, they come back to you tenfold,” he told a group of reporters at a press conference.

After four years of dating, Vic confirmed last September that he and Pauleen were finally engaged. Settling down, Vic pointed out, was just a matter of right timing.

Right woman, moment

“I found the right woman at the right time, at the right moment,” said the Kapuso star, who holds the same mind-set when it comes to having a baby. “In God’s time. We’ll just wait for that. If we’re blessed with that, we’ll be thankful.”

The couple related that they prefer to keep the ceremony private and intimate. Asked for additional details about the wedding, Vic urged show biz observes to stay tuned to “Eat Bulaga!” “You’ll find out all about it there,” he said.

After the wedding, Vic and Pauleen plan to go on a short vacation. “Then, it’s back to the grind. Anyway, araw-araw naman dapat honeymoon!” the

61-year-old quipped, breaking into a cheeky smile.

Pauleen will likewise resume her work, added Vic, saying that he wouldn’t stop his soon-to-be wife from doing what she wants. “Show biz is in her blood. Maybe she’ll work less should her priorities change, but it’s really all up to her,” Vic said.

Meanwhile, he has expressed “all-out” support for Vico—his son with Coney Reyes—who’s running for councilor in Pasig City’s first district.

“He has always wanted to do public service and work for the government since he was young. And Vico thinks now’s the right time,” Vic said of his child, who works for the Ateneo School of Government. “He’s very passionate and sincere. We’re all for him.”

As for his film, which many predict to top the box office, Vic said he’s not pressured—he doesn’t want to think about it. “But I’m optimistic that moviegoers will like it,” he said.
