He admitted that political life is not for him and is leaving it to his brother, former Senate President Tito Sotto, and his son, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto.
“I leave that to my brother. He’s more comfortable… Mas may karapatan kumbaga, ako pang comedy lang ako. I leave that to my son, Vico.”
“Although many times in the past, people have been talking to me, o, takbo ka ng ganun,” Bossing Vic opened up.

He further explained, “I’d rather be in this industry, in this business, which for me, kahit papaano, nakakatulong ako sa mga kababayan natin, in my own little way.”
Likewise, the veteran comedian believes that one doesn’t need to enter politics to serve the people. He is pleased to do acts of public service through their show, “Eat Bulaga.”
“You don’t have to be in politics to be of public service. Because with ‘Eat Bulaga,’ it’s more of public service. Sabi nga ni Tito, nagtatago sa pangalan na entertainment, but it’s more of a public service.”
“(You) provide a little help sa mga nanonood (to the viewers), provide entertainment and tawanan (laughter). It’s very important in a society. Yung mga bawas-bawas ng stress kahit konti.”
“That’s why we watch cinema, the TV to lessen the stress — maiyak ka minsan, matawa ka, matakot ka,” Vic, who is set to make a Metro Manila Film Festival comeback via ‘The Kingdom,’ added.
