MANILA, Philippines – The entertainment industry has been rocked by an escalating feud between former Eat Bulaga hosts Anjo Yllana and Senator Tito Sotto, with both sides now engaging in a dramatic exchange of accusations and counter-revelations. The situation reached a boiling point when Yllana publicly presented “evidence” regarding the Senator’s alleged extramarital affair, a revelation that has plunged Sotto’s family into the public eye and tainted the respected image of the TVJ trio (Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon).
While Yllana continues his onslaught, challenging the integrity of the Eat Bulaga management and its current hosts, the most heart-wrenching reaction came from within the Sotto family itself.
The Showbiz Scandal and the Silent Management
Anjo Yllana’s recent claims about a “syndicate” within Eat Bulaga management—allegations that have long been a whisper in the industry—have now turned into a direct, personal attack on the show’s pillars. Yllana is not just challenging the management; he is systematically attacking the current hosts and the core image of TVJ, forcing the long-running noontime show and its current staff to maintain a conspicuous silence on the matter.
The senator’s clean public image has been severely damaged by Yllana’s exposé. The controversy has implicated not just the senator’s reputation but also the standing of his entire family, who now face intense public scrutiny and criticism. Yllana has indicated that he has more shocking information to reveal in the coming days, escalating the conflict further.
Ciara Sotto’s Emotional Stand
On [Ngày – Tức là ngày thứ ba (Tuesday), 11 tháng 11, 2025], the Senator’s daughter, former actress Ciara Sotto (có lẽ đây là người được nhắc đến, vì Shara Sotto không phải là một nhân vật công chúng nổi tiếng), emotionally and angrily faced the media to address the scandal threatening her family’s peace.
Tearfully, Ciara Sotto presented a unified family front, speaking on the pain caused by the public controversy surrounding her father.
“I don’t know where or how to begin this,” Ciara started, acknowledging the public’s intense curiosity. “As the daughter of Senator Tito Sotto, I face you now. Not to cover up what my father did. I am not asking for, nor do I need, the sympathy of the media or the public.”
Ciara made it clear that the stakes are personal and immense: “At this time, it is our family that is on the line, the reputation of each and every one of us.”
Acknowledging the Past, Demanding Privacy
In a powerful and meaningful statement, Ciara Sotto acknowledged her father’s transgression but emphasized that the matter has long been resolved within the family unit and should not be used as a weapon in a public feud.
“I know my Daddy made a mistake. This is long over, and I know he has regretted this for a long time. We were hurt by what he did, and only our family can understand what truly happened.”
Ciara’s profound statement carried a meaningful call for understanding and a halt to judgment: “No one should judge anyone. Mistakes were made, but everything was regretted and corrected.”
Her words serve as a defense of the family’s right to heal privately, arguing that Yllana’s actions—while potentially revealing alleged truths—are ultimately inflicting further damage on a family that has already dealt with the consequences of the Senator’s past actions. Ciara Sotto’s decision to speak out, despite her tears and anger, marked an impassioned attempt to shield her family from the continuous, damaging fallout of the showbiz feud.
