Vice Ganda asks Pastillas Girl if she had an abortion

Is this proper on noontime TV? Vice Ganda asks Pastillas Girl if she had an abortion, on It's Showtime. And all these after being reprimanded by the MTRCB to prudently exercise self-regulation?




Vice Ganda, in the October 14 episode of It's Showtime and incidentally the return of Alden Richards after a week-long absence on Eat Bulaga, asked Pastillas Girl if she had an abortion.

Vice Ganda asked "Baka gusto mong linawin na. Kasi may mga kumakalat na issue at agam-agam at gusto namin sa iyo na mismo manggaling ang sagot. Natanong namin sa iyo kanina kung may anak ka na. Ang sagot mo may mga pagkakamali ka pero sa huli ang sabi mo, wala ka pang anak. Hindi ka pa ba nag-anak?"

Angelica Yap mouthed the words, "Hindi pa." Vice Ganda then directly asked, "Nagpalaglag ka ba?" "Hindi po ako nagpalaglag," Ms. Pastillas said with a smile. "Ever. Sa buong buhay ko. Catholic po ako. If ever na magkakaroon ako ng isang blessing, aalagaan ko siya, mamahalin ko siya." Vice Ganda pointed out, "Kumakalat iyan, nababasa mo naman siguro."

The question now is, what is Vice Ganda trying to elicit here? Did he really think that if ever true, Pastillas Girl will admit on national television that she had an abortion?
