00:00Director Daryl Yap releases the trailer for his controversial film, The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma,
00:06on Tuesday, January 21, amid an ongoing legal battle against Vic Soto. The trailer features
00:11Paloma's mother, Lydia Duena Whitley, and brother Zaldi, as the film focuses on the late actress'
00:17rape case and death. Yap proceeds to release the trailer as the court has yet to rule on the writ
00:22of habeas data petition filed by Soto. If granted, the petition would require Yap to delete or
00:27destroy the contested data. Soto also files 19 counts of cyber-libel against the filmmaker.
00:33Yap and Soto faced off on January 17 at the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court,
00:38though both parties remained silent after the court issued a gag order.
00:42The Pepsi Paloma case dates back to 1982, when the actress, at 15, accused Soto and fellow Itbolaga
00:48comedians Joey Dalyon and Richie Dahorsie of rape. She later dropped the charges.
00:52She was found dead in an apparent suicide in 1985.
