When I Googled “Pepsi Paloma”, I saw
the link to the video that had been downloaded on Facebook by as many as
66,000 viewers The “Eat Bulaga – Pepsi Paloma story” reported the tragic
tale of Delia Smith, the eldest daughter of Lydia Duenas, a native of Borac,
Northern Samar, and Kenneth Smith, an American letter carrier who
deserted his family when his four children were still young.

When Delia was barely 13, her mother introduced her to talent manager
Rey dela Cruz who changed her name to “Pepsi Paloma” to join his stable of
other “soft drink” beauties which included Sarsi Emmanuel and Cola
Nicolas. Dela Cruz secured Pepsi’s starring role in her first movie, a “bold”
feature called Brown Emmanuelle in 1981.

Less than a year later, according to her account, while promoting one of her
movies, Pepsi met the three comedian hosts of Eat Bulaga – Vic Sotto, Joey
de Leon and Richie D’Horsey (Richie Reyes). The three men took her out to a
bar, drugged her, and then gang raped her in a hotel room. (Because she
was only 14 at the time, these comedians were pedophile rapists.)

To prosecute a crime in the Philippines, you cannot just rely on government


prosecutors, you have to hire a private prosecutor otherwise the case will
be dismissed for lack of prosecution. For this job, Pepsi sought the help of
then Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile who referred her to the senior
partner in the ACCRA law office, Atty.  Rene Cayetano, the father of Sen. Pia
Cayetano and Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, who offered his pro bono services
to Pepsi.

If convicted of the rape charge, the three comedians faced the death penalty,
a sentence that was meted out previously in 1967 to the four rapists of

live TV while the fourth escaped the electric chair by dying in prison.

I Agree
To prevent the same fate from befalling his younger brother, Sen. Tito Sotto
quickly went to see Pepsi Paloma while she was still securing the services of
http://globalnation.inquirer.net/99861/the-rape-of-pepsi-paloma 3/12
6/22/2018 The rape of Pepsi Paloma | Inquirer Global Nation

Atty. Cayetano. According to her account of this visit, Sen. Sotto “coerced”
her into signing an “Affidavit of Desistance” to drop the rape complaint
against his brother and his cohorts.

[But how could that affidavit be legal when she was only 14 when she
signed it and she did so without the presence of her attorney?  But this
happened in 1982 during martial law and the Sottos were said to be favored
by the Marcos dictatorship.]

How was she coerced? In her November 3, 2012 column in the Philippine
Daily Inquirer, Rina Jimenez David described this incident as follows:
“Paloma eventually dropped the charges after she was allegedly visited by
one of the trio who said he had only talked with her, but only after placing a
pistol on the table in front of her.”

As a result of Pepsi’s signed affidavit of desistance, no criminal charges


were filed against the three comedian rapists even after they went down on
their knees on their show “Eat Bulaga!” and asked forgiveness from Pepsi
Paloma for raping her when she was only 14.

Three years after her rape, on May 31, 1985, Pepsi was found dead in her
apartment with a rope looped around her neck. The police concluded that it
was a suicide caused by “monetary problems” and this was the official story
that appeared in the headlines of the newspapers.

But her manager, Babette Corcuerra, disputed the press account. “She was
earning well and was fully booked for dancing performances. She just
finished the Pepsi Paloma Show at the Bughaw and 10 other beerhouses,”
Corcuerra said, and she had three film offers lined up, she added.

It just did not add up, Corcuerra said. “She was looking forward to
celebrating her 18th birthday next year. She made me promise to throw a
big party for her at a hotel because it would be her debut,” Corcuerra told
the Times Journal.

Was she murdered? Before he passed away, in an interview on ABS-CBN


that was not aired, self-confessed hitman Kit Mateo intimated as much.

“Eat Bulaga!” is now entering its 35th year as the longest-running noontime
variety on air program in the history of television, making millionaires of
its comedic stars.

Sen. Tito Sotto is still in the Philippine Senate serving as the proud
champion of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in his staunch opposition to
the Reproductive Health Act and to all forms of contraception.

Pepsi Paloma would have celebrated her 47th birthday this year.

Nakatagpo ng katapat si Tito Sotto sa katauhan ni Ely Buendia. I believe the song
Spoliarium is Ely's revenge for Tito's proposal to ban another EHead song (Alapaap) from
the air. Sotto, a rabid anti-drug crusader, thinks Alapaap encourages drug use.

Ely found a subtle way of reviving the injustice that made news in the 80's. The plagiarist
met a real artist.

Whilst 45 Seconds
I am an avid fan of Eat Bulaga, I completely denounce Vic's womanizing with his
90 Seconds
co-hosts, who are younger to be his granddaughter. When I heard about Pauline's
having an affair with him, I have just wished it weren't true. And why call Vic 30 Seconds
"Bossing" by everyone inside and outside the show? He is not the
60 Seconds
producer of the show, and he doesn't pay everyone's salary nor the prices at
stake given in the show.

The rape case shoulde be revived against Tito, Vic and Joey, The senator should be
included since he put the pistol on the table, a show of arrogance and power over the 14
helpless Pepsi Paloma. How I wish their daughters will also be raped and commit suicide
after three years. The Eat Bulaga should be removed from noontime TV shows. It should
be rated PG18, since the cast of entertainers are rapists and murderers !!!

Assuming that 7Rodel77 is in fact the same author of this article, let me extend my hand in
friendship and congratulations for this piece. It is very rare that PDI contributors appear
themselves on Disqus, to bravely answer comments on their own articles.

The Pepsi Paloma case is, indeed, a dark chapter in the lives of the EB hosts. Their
apology, on bended knees, may have prompted the victim to forgiveness. Her own death,
whether really suicide or murder came years after, and may not have anything to do with
the supposed rape.

I suppose that the media might come out in the near future with more stories and films
about her that would portray these TV personalities either on the side of the angels or
demons, depending on who produces them. And from heaven (or elsewhere), she might
look down with humor on the protagonists, as a once black slave in America would look on
dogs fighting for a bone. Because she is the bone.

Sir Hagakhak, sa plagay ko po di to tungkol sa istasyon..wala naman silang


kinalaman sa aktibidad ng kanilang mga talents at empleyado. Bukod don, wala
naman silang problema, ang mga tao lang naman ang nagbibigay ng intriga sa
kanila.
Pero ang mga talents na may mga kasalanan kung meron man ay dapat
pinapanagot sa kasalanan, di dapat tinatangkilk at para di pamarisan o maging
iboto man kung sakali....
Sori Sir, ang sa akin ay opinion ko lang...kagaya mo rin na meron din!

I have no doubt the incident as reported in this column is true and it's another clear picture
of the travesty of justice in the country, the abuse of the rich, the powerful and influential
people over the helpless, the downtrodden and poor victims. If they have escaped
punishment due to their standing in the community then the community has to put a
shame on them and cast them out. The country can never cure its problem if allow these
rampant abuses to go unpunished. .

Malabo na iyan, malakas na si Tito kay Pnoy, kapag malakas ka kay Pnoy tiyak walang

at that time, ang alam ko ngang accused eh yung tatlo(TVJ). siguro lang din i was too
young to understand what was happening. pero dapat din i-consider si rey dela cruz.

I'm just curious, if this statement did occur "As a result of Pepsi’s signed affidavit of
desistance, no criminal charges were filed against the three comedian rapists even after
they went down on their knees on their show “Eat Bulaga!” and asked forgiveness from
Pepsi Paloma for raping her when she was only 14." How come there is no video footage?
I mean opposing networks are watching competitors shows(probably recording also),
right? The said event at that time could have been a sensational issue, a talk of the town,
or an entertainment hot topic. Just imagine asking for forgiveness in committing rape in
national tv? I believe every media, even at Marcos Era will rush into the band wagon in
getting detailed information about that rape issue and the begging knees incident in
National TV...
