ALONG CAME PASTILLAS GIRL

IT SEEMS “It’s Showtime” is fielding someone they hope would match the popularity of rival show’s current ace. Ladies and gents, meet Pastillas Girl.

Real name Angelica Jane Yap, she earned notice when her instructional videos in making pastillas de leche and yema went viral. Apparently, netizens found her lessons cute, peppered with hugot lines meant for a guy who left her for a friend.

Pastillas Girl first made an appearance on the noontime show last Sept. 11 wherein she shared her woeful story to Vice Ganda. The host has volunteered to help her find a new boyfriend. Two suitors have been presented; one bearing flowers, and another with a package of various local delicacies.

Several netizens who have weighed in on the blooming love triangle call the whole thing “Twitterserye.”
