So, mai-i-stress ka lang pagka inisip mo eh.&quot;</p><p>Some members of the press further asked how is he handling this situation that crossed his more-than-five-decade career, Sotto candidly said, &quot;Eh di daanan mo lang nang daanan. Isa lang naman ang pupuntahan natin. Basta diretso ang daan. &#x27;Yun ang importante. Bawal &#x27;yung mga paliko-liko.&quot;</p><p>Sotto also expressed his appreciation for the support he has been receiving since he filed the complaints -- from fans and his family and from Joey de Leon and brother Tito Sotto.</p><p>&quot;Of course, they are all out support (for me). Kahit anong mangyari sama-sama kami,&quot; he said.</p><p>While he can&#x27;t talk about the case any further because of the gag order, someone attempted to ask him if he&#x27;s willing to settle this out of court, Sotto politely replied, &quot;I cannot talk about that, sorry. &quot;</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MTVWam7GVXc?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
