Early life and career
[edit]Sotto was born on May 10, 1982,[2] in Manila. He is the son of Marcelino "Maru" Sotto Jr. and Ali Sotto.[3] He was part of the prominent Sotto family in showbiz. He was a great-grandson of former Senator Vicente Y. Sotto, Sr. and the grandson and grandnephew of Marcelino Antonio "Nonong" O. Sotto, Sr. and Vicente O. Sotto, Jr., respectively. He was the brother of Senate President Vicente "Tito" C. Sotto, III, Val Sotto and Vic Sotto. His granduncle Filemon Y. Sotto was also a former senator of the Philippines. Actors Oyo Boy Sotto, Ciara Sotto, and Gian Sotto were his cousins. As a talent of the GMA Artist Center, he became a TV fixture, with stints on GMA's youth-oriented programs Click and Kahit Kailan.[4]
Personal life
[edit]Sotto had been in a relationship with actress Angel Locsin for six months at the time of his death.[5]
Death
[edit]Sotto fell from the ninth floor of San Francisco Garden Plaza Condominium, a condominium building along Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong where he had been living for 4 years. According to initial investigation, Sotto was with his cousin Oyo Boy Sotto, two other friends, and a maid at the condominium. According to reports, a security guard saw Sotto seated at the railings of the balcony. Sotto was about to part with his friends and tried to get down from the railings when his foot allegedly got caught in a planter, causing him to lose his balance and fall from his balcony at 4:50 a.m. on December 29, 2003.[6][7]
Sotto was immediately rushed to the nearby Mandaluyong City Medical Center where he was declared dead on arrival. "The patient died from multiple skull fracture", according to the male physician on duty at the hospital. From the Mandaluyong hospital, Sotto was brought to Makati Medical Center at 5:45 a.m., but doctors there were also unable to revive him. He was taken to the hospital's morgue at 8:05 a.m., the same day.[6]
His funeral was held at the Arlington Funeral Homes in Quezon City. His remains were later interred at Loyola Memorial Park - Sucat in Parañaque on January 3, 2004.[8]
His mother, Ali donated Miko's corneas to the Eye Bank of the Philippines[9] at the time of his death. His mother met one of the recipients during one of the episodes of Eat Bulaga!.[10]
