MAY sarili ng pamilya ang anak ni Bossing Vic Sotto kay Angela Luz na si Paulina. Pero nananatili pa rin itong “baby” ng kanyang ama.
Simpleng pagbati sa kaarawan ni Bossing Vic ang ibinahagi ni Paulina sa ama.
“April 28 has always been special because it’s my dad’s birthday.
“It’s a different experience being the daughter of someone so well-known and loved—it makes you feel lucky to be close to someone so many people admire and look up to.
“It’s a privilege knowing the “dad” side of Bossing. He loves and cares so deeply for all his children, and even though we don’t see him every day, we feel his love and support no matter what.
“I’m extra lucky because he lives down the street so I still get to see him now and then
“But starting last year, April 28 took on another meaning. It was also the day that my Lola died. I talk a lot about how I grew up with my Lolo, but the fact is my Lola was also there with me.
“We shared many, many meals together, and she took me to all the plays and musicals up until she couldn’t leave the house anymore. I always think of her when I see another production, knowing she would’ve been seated next to me, asking me to help her go to the bathroom during intermission
“So today I would like to greet my dad a Happy Birthday, and pray for my Lola who has spent a full year in heaven I love you both very much!”
National Artist naman (for Visual Arts noong 1997) ang Lolo ni Paulina na si Arturo Luz.
