Gabriela: It’s Showtime Seems to be Pimping Pastillas Girl

Angelica Jane Yap, or Pastillas Girl, is It’s Showtime‘s answer to Eat Bulaga‘s AlDub and she is slowly rising to stardom. As her segment is gaining popularity because of her recipe to making pastillas mixed with comments about a bad breakup, critics are concerned with how the show is introducing her to various men.

According to a letter the Gabriela Women’s Party sent to the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board and It’s Showtime‘s executive producer Mark Rejano, they are receiving complaints about the show’s alleged pimping of Yap to suitors.

According to the letter:

We wish to inform you that we have been receiving complaints regarding exploitation of women in relation to your serye “Pastillas Girl” since it aired this month in Showtime. Concerned citizens wrote us and tagged us in their Twitter posts alleging that the show seems to be pimping the said Pastillas Girl to various interested men.

As part of the letter, Gabriela mentioned its advocacy of the protection and advancement of women’s rights, and believes that the competition between the two TV networks shouldn’t come at the expense of women. They also gave It’s Showtime‘s executive producer the chance to respond to the allegations publicly.

Rejano has not aired the network’s side as of publishing.

NTC website hacked by Anonymous Philippines

Once again, the website of National Telecommunications Commission was hacked by Anonymous Philippines. 



Here is the statement of the cyber hacker group posted at the index of the NTC Website

"Greetings Citizens of the world, We are Anonymous.

We, Anonymous Philippines, are sympathizing with our fellow Filipino netizens whose battle cries are the
"OVER PROMISED, UNDER DELIVERED" system of our internet service providers; it is the neigh direct proportionality of our
internet speeds and bandwidths in relation to price. We, as a country, suffer on the bottom of the internet pyramid having
one of the lowest internet speeds while paying the same amount, or even higher, compared to other countries; adding
DATA CAPPING to our "UNLIMITED" data plans sums up to our great burden as an avid follower of the internet - for studies and such.

We are calling forth the attention of the NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION for this matter in hand; with this we
talk as a whole...as ONE, we are asking for fairness in charging and serving our data services; Unlimited should be patterned to
its name - "UNLIMITED"; not "UNLIMITED with 800MB cap". A 2MBPS speed should never be a 56kbps. A 98% service reliability should be
always on the 98% part, not the 2% one.

We are Anonymous
We are Legion
We do not Forgive
We do not Forget

EXPECT US!"

The song Upuan by Gloc 9 Ft. Zelle, covered by Nuriad sa Wabad was used by the hacker group as their background song at the defaced index page of the NTC Website.

Among the country’s providers, PLDT is the worst of all. Globe is better than Smart, then followed by Sun cellular.

There is no exact date on when the business operation will be started, but Bloombergreported that Telstra is currently on talks with San Miguel, and is willing to invest 5.75 billion Pesos (UD$123 million).

It may be too early to expect, but many netizens are already excited about the plan – believing that this move could help them with their lifetime problem – the worst internet speed.

Acceptable or not? Teacher sprays fire extinguisher at a sleeping student

• A student falls into a deep sleep in class


• The teacher decided to use the fire extinguisher to wake him up


• Online users reacted differently on whether the teacher’s reaction was right or wrong

GRONINGEN, Holland – Remember those sleepyheads during our school days? Who fall asleep on top of the school desk? Those drowsy students who’d been caught by teachers might have been asked to step out of the room to stand in the corridor or taken to the prefect of discipline. However, one teacher from Holland thought of something truly different as a sanction.

A teacher from a school in Groningen was recorded in a video footage picking up a fire extinguisher and spraying it to a student who was dozing off while a class was ongoing, TMZhas reported.

The less than 30 seconds video features a boy resting with his head on the desk; who couldn’t be roused despite attempts by his friends to wake him up.

On the video, the teacher is seen standing in front of the class and conducting his lessons when he suddenly appears to spot the sleeping student.

The teacher approaches the student as he starts screaming; ignoring the other student who was bent on filming the incident. The teacher then reaches for the fire extinguisher, and much to the surprise of everyone there, he sprayed at the sleeping student – still fuming mad.

Online users reacted differently with regards to the reaction of the teacher; with some of them saying that the student deserves what he got.

“Seems like a reasonable response,” said online user ravishing from Cleveland, as reported byDaily Mail.

“Good one for the teacher,” said online user MarmooUK, while C. Meyer said, “Great disciplinarian! All teachers should do this.”

However, there are online users who criticized the teacher’s action.

Online user jr23 said, “Cannot tell what type of extinguisher but if its power that’s not good for someone’s lungs, the teachers(sic) an idiot as was the person who cannot use a video camera phone correctly, if it going to news or internet turn the camera just like your TV or computer screen.”

Meanwhile, online user Stoke believed that the student will learn his lesson after the incident; saying, “Short sharp shock treatment. Bet he won’t go to sleep again in class.”
