Angelica Jane Yap, or Pastillas Girl, is It’s Showtime‘s answer to Eat Bulaga‘s AlDub and she is slowly rising to stardom. As her segment is gaining popularity because of her recipe to making pastillas mixed with comments about a bad breakup, critics are concerned with how the show is introducing her to various men.
According to a letter the Gabriela Women’s Party sent to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board and It’s Showtime‘s executive producer Mark Rejano, they are receiving complaints about the show’s alleged pimping of Yap to suitors.
According to the letter:
We wish to inform you that we have been receiving complaints regarding exploitation of women in relation to your serye “Pastillas Girl” since it aired this month in Showtime. Concerned citizens wrote us and tagged us in their Twitter posts alleging that the show seems to be pimping the said Pastillas Girl to various interested men.
As part of the letter, Gabriela mentioned its advocacy of the protection and advancement of women’s rights, and believes that the competition between the two TV networks shouldn’t come at the expense of women. They also gave It’s Showtime‘s executive producer the chance to respond to the allegations publicly.
Rejano has not aired the network’s side as of publishing.

Sensationalized naman yan….. Pimping??? Humingi ba ng pera ang showtime sa mga lalake kapalit sa puri ni pastilyas girl?
Daming bata sa kalsada… Yun ang imbistigahan at tulungan nila…..
Gabriela is just riding on the tv wars…. Im just saying help others who really in need of help….. Dont waste taxpayers money sa nonesense issue……
AND DI NGA BUGAW (MONEY EXCHANGE FOR SEX) ANG GINAGAWA NILA….
Kasi kung tatanggapin ko ang sensationalism… Edi child exploitation ginagawa nila kay riza mea….
ang masasabi ko sa showtime: BABALAhhhh…..
MASAMA TALAGA NA IMPLUWENSYA YANG SEGMENT NA YAN SA MGA KABATAAN NATIN NGAYON,,DAPAT TANGGALIN NA YAN KASI BORING NA KAKARUMI PA,,,,
Mga kaibigan, hindi dapat ito pag awayan, gabriella has the right, idaan na lang yan sa proseso, pero totoo naniniwala ako na may mas malala pang bagay na dapat sila pansinin kesq dito, you can consider kasi na ang pastillas.segment ay reality show of seeing the guy of her forever. Meron.din dati sa isang noontime show na may isang girl tapos maririnig lang nya boses via her question,tapos mamimili sya after. Wala naman pinagkaiba yun, binibigyan lang nila ng issue,hindi ko alam anong purpose ng gabriella. Or other people lang one sided. Just saying
So sad this is happening to showtime. They have very very very talented Artists and Personalities in that show. Discovered beautiful talents like our world class El gamma penumbra. I cannot say anything about the Pastillas girl though, because I have never seen any of the episodes of her serye.( I don’t get to because yes, I’m an aldub fan.) I have seen her viral video, I laughed my butt off, she could have chosen not to mutter profanity but it was forgivable. And I find her really very pretty, I felt so sorry for the stupid guy who dumped her. So, is her serye that bad? Isn’t it just like a dating game? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for Gabriella on the women’s rights, but if it were like a normal dating game, where the girl is searching for the best man to have a date with, if tastefully executed I don’t see anything wrong with it. Then again, I never have seen any of it yet. Just saying..I wish this would turn out to be a healthy competition between the two networks…I wish.
