Ang Mutya Ng Section E star Rabin Angeles has issued an apology after comments he made about his “ideal girl” quietly sparked backlash online.
Last April, an interview featuring the actor went viral, drawing criticism from netizens who described his remarks as “misogynistic” and “gender stereotyping.”
“Gusto ko po talaga sa babae, ‘yung simple lang, ayoko ‘yung parang ma-makeup, pabebe, gusto ko ‘yung parang polite po sa lahat ng tao, tapos maka-Diyos gano’n, kahit hindi maganda,” Rabin said in the viral clip.
rabin, women do not exist to complement your image, your ego, or your expectations. our worth isn’t measured by your standards.
your misogynistic remarks say more about you than about us. keep that trashy mindset all to yourself and your enabler fans.

In a recent interview with TV5’s MJ Marfori, Rabin clarified his previous statement and admitted to fumbling his words, admitting that nerves got the better of him during the said interview.
“Nagkamali po ako ng sagot do’n. Kinakabahan po kasi ako, hindi po ako sanay na parang ini-interview pa, so hindi ko po nasabi ng maayos ‘yung sagot ko,” he explained.

He went on to say that his intention was to emphasize inner qualities over physical appearance.
“Pero ang pinopoint ko po do’n, hindi po ako tumitingin sa panlabas na anyo ng tao, pero tinitingnan ko po ‘yung kalooban niya. Kung magiging genuine po ‘yung samahan namin sa isa’t isa, ‘yun lang po ang gusto ko,” said Rabin.
Rabin also acknowledged that upon reflection, his earlier words were poorly phrased.
“Sobrang kinabahan lang din po ako eh. Na-realize ko lang din po, parang ‘Oo nga ‘no, parang ang pangit pakinggan.’”
