The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) have called the attention of It’s Showtime executives due to negative feedback against its Pastillas Girl segment.

Known as “Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastillas,” this segment showcases Pastillas Girl’s (Angelica Jane Yap) active search for a potential boyfriend (a.k.a. Mr. Pastillas) amidst a number of suitors.

In a letter given last October 1, the MTRCB has summoned some of the top executives of the Kapamilya noontime show for a meeting about “gender sensitivity concerns” on October 13.

This is after the women’s group Gabriela filed an “official” complaint against Its Showtime’s Pastillas Girl tracks.

Signed by MTRCB Chairman Toto Villareal, the letter cited the regulatory body’s 2012 memorandum that requires all TV networks to maintain a “positive and non-derogatory portrayal of women in television, in support of Magna Carta of Women 2009.”

The full letter of the MTRCB, addressed to It’s Showtime executives, including director Norbert Vidanes, business unit head Reily Santiago, and executive producer Mark Rejano.
