According to an article written by Chuck Smith for Philippine Star, Yap said although she’s happy that her daughter is given a chance to find love through It’s Showtime’s “Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastilla”segment, she felt hurt over the negative comments hurled against her daughter on social media.

She asked Pastillas Girl’s bashers to get to know her daughter first before judging her.

She said: “Sana, nakikiusap ako, kilalanin muna nila ako. ‘Wag muna nila i-judge ‘yung anak ko. Hindi naman nila kilala ‘yung anak ko. Pinalaki ko nang maayos ang anak ko. Ayoko naman na kung sinu-sinong tao lang ang lalait sa anak ko, maninira sa anak ko.” [I’m asking them to get to know my daughter first before judging her. I brought her up well and I don’t want anyone to just smear her name.]
