It's Showtime reiterates that the show does not intent to sell Angelica Yap but rather herl her in her journey to love and acceptance after recovering from a failed relationship.
Here's the part of the official statement of It's Showtime regarding their Pastillas segment, courtesy of rappler.com
"Angelica Yap has the freedom of choice to do and reveal what she wants. She was never forced to do anything without her full consent.
Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastillas also shows the values of forgiveness, honesty and being open to new possibilities.
For people to suggest the show is pimping Pastillas Girl is not only unfair and irresponsible, but also hurtful and offensive to women like Angelica who has done nothing wrong but to share her story with the hope of getting another shot at love,"
