In an interview with entertainment reporters during the press conference for the movie <i>My Little Bossings</i>, host-actress Kris Aquino revealed that the veteran host-comedian was in offered by ABS-CBN a project in the past.</div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Ang unang nagpasabi</i>, I can admit that,<i> na</i> it’s Tita Cory Vidanes. Way back, 2002 <i>yata 'yun, nag-</i>guest si Vic <i>sa Game Ka Na Ba</i>. One of the highest rated episodes<i> nung time na 'yun,</i>” Kris revealed.</div><div><br/></div><div>According to her, the negotiations even went as far as Vic meeting ABS-CBN’s Cory Vidanes<i> “para gumawa sana siya ng</i> sitcom <i>sa </i>ABS.”</div><div><br/></div><div>However, the negotiations didn’t advance to become a full-on contract signing because, as Kris says, “That was the time din <i>na re-</i>negotiations with GMA. <i>Tinapatan [ng</i> GMA <i>ang</i> offer]. So <i>hindi natuloy 'yung sa </i>ABS<i> kahit dalawa</i> or <i>tatlong </i>meetings <i>na.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>It seems though that the offer still stands for Vic. “So<i> nung nakiki-</i>meeting<i> ako kay </i>Tita Cory <i>para sa </i>TV rights <i>[ng</i> movie], <i>siya nagpaalala. Sabi niya, </i>‘Please remind Vic<i> na</i> 11 or 12 years ago<i>, hinintay ko na ito. Baka naman ngayon puwede na</i>,’” Kris quoted the ABS-CBN executive as saying.</div><div><br/></div><div>Acting as if she were a middleman to the entire negotiation, Kris then shared what she learned from the Kapamilya boss to Vic. But before they could push through with another meeting the 59-year-old actor asked the Kris TV host that they first prioritize their project, her son Bimby’s debut film for the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>“Sabi niya sa akin, ‘Puwede ba</i> Kri<i>s tapusin muna natin ito tapos mamaya na lang iyan.</i>’ So <i>sabi ko, </i>‘But they are going to pay you a lot.’ <i>Pero</i> relaxed <i>lang talaga siya. </i>So <i>sabi ko, </i>‘Okay,<i> kung kailan ka na lang</i> ready,’” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>If ever Vic changes his mind, though, Kris noted that he could actually transfer to ABS-CBN because the noontime show that he’s hosts apparently doesn’t have a contract with GMA since it is produced by TAPE Inc.</div><div><br/></div>

According to Kris Aquino, the offer for Vic Sotto to take on an ABS-CBN project was made some 12 years ago.
