Since uploading the video on Facebook and making rounds in various social media sites, Angelica Jade Yap (aka Pastillas Girl) has been trending online due to her famously hilarious video on how to make "pastillas" and even made a guest appearance in It's Showtime on Abs-Cbn last September 14, 2015. The 21-year-old who hails from Quezon City, was a guest on Vice Ganda's "Madam Bertud" segment wherein the comedian gives advice on anything and everything. It turns out that her boyfriend left her for her best friend, which prompted her to make the video and express her feelings towards her ex-boyfriend. She has risen to fame because of the viral video. But is she really the original 'pastillas girl'?



That's the most unlikely question. But everyone hasn't figured this out, because little do they know that there is another girl behind all this who originally made the recipe and shared it to netizens online! Meet Miel Francisco, the original pastillas girl! She shared the recipe on her Facebook account, and it gathered a thousand likes, views and comments because of her hilarious humor in her pastillas recipe which trended through various social media sites. It seems that Yap claimed the recipe from Miel and made a video in regards to the pastillas. Yap then successfully trended because of her video, going viral online then eventually making it to television. While Miel, who originally made the recipe, was left out and received no credit in making the pastillas recipe, in which she was overshadowed by Yap's hilarious video. Netizens have debated that Miel should be the one deserving of the spotlight, and she should be the one making the guest appearance on It's Showtime. Many have checked out her Facebook account and found out the recipe was posted, and everyone commented that she is indeed the original pastillas girl! And in a recent status update she said that to those who claimed her pastillas recipe, she said that it's theirs for the taking and now she is the one left out.

While Yap is trending towards the spotlight, Miel is left in the shadows and buried in Yap's sudden rise to fame. Little did everyone know that the original pastillas girl isn't Yap, but Miel! Now the ongoing debate continues on who truly is the original pastillas girl, but we'll leave the rest up to you to debate and speculate! So, who do you think is the real pastillas girl? Is it Angelica Jane Yap? Or is it Miel Francisco? Let us know your thoughts and opinions and leave a comment down below!
