Dina Bonnevie’s trending family talk show House of D is set to premiere its second season tonight at 7:00 on her official YouTube channel.
Before the season launch, the seasoned actress and TV host met with select members of the entertainment press to share what viewers can expect from the new season, following a successful 12-episode run in its debut.
Dina said House of D will feature more dynamic episodes and explore topics beyond their family experiences. She added that they might invite guests this season, though not everyone may be available to host.
The show features Dina, her daughter, Danica Sotto, and son Oyo Boy Sotto, along with their spouses, Marc Pingris and Kristine Hermosa, respectively.
Since the show discusses family matters, reporters asked if there was a chance Bonnevie’s ex-husband, Vic Sotto—the father of Danica and Oyo—might appear as a guest.
“I asked Danica if Vic has already seen the show, and she said, ‘Wala eh, he has never asked about it,’” Dina said. “If they want to guest in the show, I’m okay with that. But we have to respect their privacy.”
Dina had nothing but good words for Vic’s wife, actress Pauleen Luna, praising her kindness and respect.
“Pauline is actually very kind and respectful to me. Wala akong issue sa kanya. Every time we meet, she makes it a point to introduce Tali,” she said, referring to Vic and Pauleen’s daughter.
Dina added that Pauleen often encourages Danica and Oyo to spend time with their father. “She’s not selfish. She even includes Vico and Paulina when she plans family dinners. I respect her so much for that kind of openness.”
Addressing comments suggesting she hasn’t “moved on” from her past relationship, Dina clarified by mentioning a reply she posted in the comment section of one of her show’s episodes.
“I told the person, ‘For your information, matagal na akong naka-move on,’” she said, also mentioning her late husband, former lawmaker Deogracias Victor “DV” Savellano, who passed away earlier this year, to prove that she has moved on for a long time and has quite a good life herself.
Dina said she’s open to guesting Vic and Pauleen on the show if the situation feels natural.
“Kung gusto nila, bukas naman ang pinto ko,” she said. “Maybe we can have an episode focusing on women—our in-laws first, then maybe them next time. It could be more relaxed and personal.”
