Coincidence or Not? TVJ’s Resignation Sparks Online Buzz as Netizens Connect It to Pepsi Paloma’s Passing

The resignation of legendary trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon from TAPE Inc. has been the talk of the town, but one detail caught the attention of netizens, sparking renewed discussions about a decades-old controversy.

On May 31, a Twitter user, @mark_taimiklang, pointed out an eerie coincidence: the date of TVJ’s resignation announcement aligns with the death anniversary of Pepsi Paloma, the actress who passed away on May 31, 1985.

“Coincidence?” the netizen tweeted, fueling speculation and intrigue online.

Pepsi Paloma Case Resurfaces

For some netizens, the connection wasn’t just coincidental. Many revisited the controversial case involving Pepsi Paloma and her accusations against Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D’Horsie in the early 1980s. Pepsi alleged that the three had subjected her to an unimaginable ordeal.

The case, however, never reached a courtroom. Reports claim that the young actress dropped her charges after receiving an apology from Tito Sotto on behalf of the accused. The apology reportedly appealed for forgiveness and expressed hope for a brighter future for Pepsi.

Despite this, the controversy remained unresolved in the eyes of many, and it has since become part of the enduring lore surrounding the trio.

Pepsi Paloma was found lifeless in her apartment in 1985, allegedly taking her own life due to personal struggles. Her death added another layer of mystery to her story, with some speculating that the controversies in her life may have played a role in her tragic end.

Tito Sotto, in interviews, dismissed Pepsi’s accusations, claiming they were fabricated for publicity purposes.

‘Spoliarium’ and the Urban Myth

The urban legend surrounding Pepsi Paloma was reignited when the legendary OPM band Eraserheads released the song “Spoliarium.” Many fans interpreted the song as a subtle reference to Pepsi’s story, adding fuel to the fire of conspiracy theories.

The discussion has once again highlighted the impact of Pepsi Paloma’s story on Philippine pop culture and how it continues to be intertwined with the legacy of TVJ.
