Showbiz's famous Sotto brothers wowed fans when they sang their alma mater Colegio de San Juan de Letran's hymn in an episode of Ciara Sotto's vlog.

In a rare instance, the public got a glimpse of the popular celebrity siblings gathered together. Seated according to their ages, Val, Tito, Maru, and Vic gamely answered Ciara Sotto's questions in the first part of the vlog titled “Who's Who with the Sotto brothers,” including who they think is the best singer among them.

While the four male celebrities are known to have made careers out of singing, they also all agreed that it is their brother Maru who has got the best pipes among them.

Vic shared a trivia about his brother, “Nung grumaduate ng high school, meron kaming alma mater song ng Letran. 'Alma mater Letran esplendente,' Vic sang. Ano 'yun Spanish 'yun, sa gitna may solo part, soloist, [pointing at Maru] Marcelino Sotto Jr.”

Maru then sang Letran's hymn while his brothers, Ciara, and everyone else in the background laughed and clapped.

Senate President Tito followed and as they hit the chorus, the Sotto brothers sang in unison. Netizens could not help but praise the four for still remembering the entire song in pure Spanish.

Watch it here:

Val, Tito and Vic are all part of the iconic disco group VST and Company. Along with other OPM bands in the '70s, they spearheaded the music movement called Manila Sound.

Val and Vic were among the band's lead vocals. The first song they released, “Awitin Mo Isasayaw Ko” was such an infectious hit it sparked what was then called VST mania.

Vic still sings occasionally on television, usually in production numbers for the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga.
