The Gabriela Women's Party is urging the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board or MTRCB to probe the segment of ABS-CBN's Noontime show It's Showtime, "Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastillas" for "exploitation of women".
Reports from news site interaksyon.com say that letters are being sent last week to MTRCB Chairman Toto Villareal, as well as Showtime's Executive Producer Mark Rejano, as Gabriela receives a lot of complaints from concerned citizens, saying that the show is pimping Angelica Yap aka Ms. Pastillas to different men.
"As an organization dealing with the protection and advancement of women’s right, we cannot dismiss such complaints," Salvador said in her letters. "We have been consistent in our statement that competition to sell the show and the ratings war should not be done at the expense of women."
Angelica Yap rose to fame after her video of "Paano Gumawa ng Pastillas" became viral on YouTube regarding her ex-boyfriend dumping her, thus relating the incident to the pastillas recipe. She was then guested in It's Showtime's "Advice Ganda" and later on became a part of the show.
The phenomenal success Yaya Dub and Alden Richards, known as love team AlDub has forced It's Showtime to create a dating segment for Ms. Pastillas in which she's being partnered with several male suitors to find her Mr. Pastillas.
MTRCB and It's Showtime have not yet responded to Gabriela's complaint as of this writing.
