In light of the mainstream video of the pastillas recipe popularized by Angelica Jane Yap (known as Pastillas Girl), apparently not only one, but two people claim that they are the original makers of the famous pastillas recipe that set the whole social media ablaze. Of course, Angelica was credited in making the whole story such a big hit, and was invited to be a guest and made an appearance in Abs-Cbn's noontime show It's Showtime. She shared her own story and background on how her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, which she says was an inspiration in making the pastillas video. After the video went viral online through various social media sites most notably Facebook, a girl named Miel Francisco states that she is the original author of the pastillas recipe. Her reaction was seen on her Facebook account, updating her status in regards to Angelica claiming her work while she was left out of the spotlight because of it. Miel posted a screenshot from her phone for proof that she is the real author of the recipe. Angelica Jane Yap (Pastillas Girl) did not include any credits when she uploaded her video, and states that she wasn't aware that the viral photo she shared online came from Miel, because the post was so popular a lot of netizens also shared it.



While this left many people wondering, just days after Miel stated that she is the real author of the said post, netizens have discovered another person claiming the post as the original author, and that is "Pastillas Boy"!
In a screenshot by a netizen, the pastillas recipe was allegedly wrote last year on January 27, 2014 in a Facebook account by a guy named Benedict Driedhenne Sanchez Garcia, as seen from the screenshot.

After discovering that the pastillas recipe went viral, Benedict decided to post his reaction on his timeline on Facebook. He stated that the pastillas recipe he claimed he wrote over a year ago, is now trending online. Although he never mentioned that he deserved credits for the trending post, he did leave his own minced words in a provocative manner, and here is what he has to say. After netizens discovered his Facebook account, he was bombarded with a ton of messages and friend requests. He cited the immediate popularity he received through a post on his timeline. A little background regarding Benedict is that he is an events planning manager and coordinator in an events agency, He is also known for attending many sports events, as seen in his photos. Passionate about climbing great heights and coming in tune with nature, Benedict loves to go hiking. He is also known for writing "hugot lines" in reference about love and relationships. You can see his posts on his timeline, and here are samples of Benedict's post to get you and idea of what he likes to share and quote in his hugot lines. Of course, now with two people claiming the pastillas recipe as their own and they are the original authors, Miel and Benedict decided to confront each other and clear the air on who really is the author of the recipe. They exchanged words which they posted on Facebook. And here is what the two of them have to say.




With two of them claiming the pastillas recipe, it's hard to discern who really is the original author of the said recipe. Is it Miel Francisco? Or is it Benedict Garcie?
