Sa July 2024 ang second year ni Diorella Maria “Lala” Sotto-Antonio bilang chairwoman ng MTRCB (Movie Television Review Classification Board).
Isa sa pinag-usapang isyu sa first year ng panunungkulan niya ay ang pagkakasuspinde ng noontime show na It’s Showtime, na kalaban ng Eat Bulaga!, kung saan isa sa main hosts ang ama niyang si Tito Sotto.
Simula noong cake-icing episode nito noong July 25, 2023 at matapos ang 12-day suspension noong October 27, 2023, nagkita na ba sila ni Vice Ganda?
Mabilis na sagot ni Chair Lala, “You know what… yes, yes, yes. We finally met few days ago lang. I was so, so happy to have finally met Vice Ganda. For the first time ko siya nakita in person.”
Kumusta naman?
Aniya, “Masayang-masaya ako na na-meet ko siya in person for the first time… in my life.”
Saan naganap at paano ang naging pagkikita nila?
“It was the fashion show of Paul Cabral, so nagkita kami dun. Nakakatuwa kasi nobody introduced us.
“I just, of course, knew na siya si Vice Ganda, and then nagkataon lang kasi napakaraming tao, so nagkatapat kami.
“So ayan, nagkita kami, nagbeso kami, nakakatuwa. So happy finally nag-meet kami.”
Hindi na raw nabanggit o napag-usapan pa ang naging isyu.
“No, no, no, wala,” sabi niya, “Saka, mabilis lang rin, kasi the show was about to start at that time.
Wala rin namang nasabi na hindi maganda o masama si Vice noon.
Pagsang-ayon ni Lala, “Yes, never naman. Oo, wala naman sinabing masama.”
Dugtong niya, “Yes, nakakatuwa. Praise God. I was so happy.”
