Madlang people relate to Pastillas Girl’s story

MANILA, Philippines - More than just finding new love, the story of Pastillas Girl that the madlang people witness every day in It’s Showtime is about a woman hoping to have another chance at life. 

Just like any other woman who is in pain, Pastillas Girl, whose real name is Angelica Yap, only wants to pick up the pieces and believe in love once again. 

Before laying out her life on national TV, she shot to online fame after she posted a video of her describing the process of making pastillas while dropping some “hugot” lines, with angst and spunk that could only be the result of a real heartbreak.

After voluntarily asking for love advice from Madam Bertud in the Advice Ganda segment of It’s Showtime, she little by little shared her story with the madlang people, who saw her as a relatable character whose painful experiences mirrored their own. And in opening her heart to the public, she piqued the interest of three men — one from the studio audience and two from Twitter — who wanted to know her better and help her ease her heartache.

Pastillas Girl’s story took an unexpected turn when her ex-boyfriend, Enzo, bravely faced her last Sept. 19 to apologize for breaking her heart, answer all the questions about their break-up and formally get closure from their failed relationship.

What’s next in Pastillas Girl’s journey to finding her Mr. Pastillas?

Meanwhile, It’s Showtime’s most awaited sixth anniversary kick off show dubbed as It’s Showtime Kapamilya Day: The ANIMversary Kick Off is happening today.

Joining the grand celebration are love teams KathNiel, JaDine, LizQuen and KimXi, Kapamilya Gold and Primetime Bida stars, The Voice Kids finalists, PBB 737 Teen Big Four, the cast of Etiquette for Mistresses and Coco Martin.
