Ibinahagi ni Dina Bonnevie na palagi siyang tinatakbuhan noon ni Vico Sotto noong bata pa ang Pasig City mayor.
“There was a time na he’s always running away every time he saw me in church.
“Hanggang hinabol ko siya and I said, ‘Why are you always running away when you see me?’
“And then he said, ‘Because I know that I remind you of sin every time you see me,’” rekoleksiyon ni Dina sa panayam ni Boy Abunda para sa Fast Talk With Boy Abunda.
Si Vico ay anak ng comedian-TV host na si Vic Sotto sa aktres na si Coney Reyes.
Si Vic ay dating asawa ni Dina, at si Coney ang naging dahilan ng paghihiwalay nila.
DINA BONNEVIE ON VICO SOTTO
Lahad pa ni Dina: “Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘No, you have nothing to do with it.’
“And then, tinanong ng pastor, ‘Why are you doing with the child?’
“Sabi ko, ‘I am not doing anything. I just told him na it’s not his fault. Wala siyang ano…’
“In fact, maliit pa lang siya, ibinibigay ko ang toys ni Oyo sa kanya, pati yung mga encyclopedia.
“Yung mga pinagliitan na damit, not that Coney couldn’t afford. Of course, she had a lot of money, but sayang.”
Si Dina rin daw ang kumausap sa mga anak nila ni Vic na sina Danica at Oyo Sotto na tanggapin si Vico.
Aniya, “And I was the one who eventually told the kids na, ‘This is your brother. You have to love him. It’s not his fault that he’s in this world.’”

Binanggit ni Dina na noong bata pa ang kanyang anak na si Danica, ayaw rin nito kay Paulina Sotto, ang anak ni Vic sa dating Eat Bulaga! co-host na si Angela Luz.
Ayon kay Dina, “Of course, yung mga bata, nung una, ayaw. Pati si Danica, ‘Nooo, I don’t like Paulina, I hate her!’
“Nung una, siyempre bata, and then i-explain mo, ‘Walang kasalanan yan. It’s not her fault that she’s in this world. It’s not your fault that she’s your sister. It’s not your fault that he’s your brother [Vico].’
“But now they love each other so much. They are very close.
“Walang problema. I mean, magkapatid talaga ang trato nila sa isa’t isa.Okay naman,” pahayag ni Dina.
