For years, Angelica Jones was known in Philippine showbiz as “Miss Flawless,” a moniker that became closely associated with the actress and comedienne during her peak in the 2000s. The title was carried by her 2003 song “Miss Flawless,” composed by Lito Camo and released under Star Records as part of the Mag-Otso Otso Tayo Bayan album.

More than a decade later, however, the phrase took on a new life in the vlogger and social-media era when actress and content creator Sachzna Laparan recorded a new version of “Miss Flawless” in 2019 with members of Ex Battalion.
What might have seemed like a revival of an old novelty song eventually became a lingering source of hurt for Angelica, who recently spoke publicly about her disappointment over what she said was the lack of a personal “thank you” and “sorry” from Sachzna.
The issue resurfaced after Angelica discussed her feelings on the vodcast Your Honor and subsequently on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda. Angelica said that, after all these years, she was not asking for much, only a simple acknowledgment from Sachzna.
Sachzna has now given her side of the story.
In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph’s Melba R. Llanera at Glorietta 3 in Makati City on September 5, 2026, Sachzna explained that she believed the proper people had been contacted before the 2019 project proceeded.
Her account also reveals that she had expected Angelica herself to appear in the music video.
“Seven years ago na kasi yun, that was 2019 tapos ako lang ang napi-pint point bakit hindi ako nagpaalam. May team kami na sila talaga yung kakausap which is nagawa nila ang trabaho nila. Nagpaalam sila, mayroon silang conversation(with Angelica), nagtawagan sila, marami silang calls, marami talaga nung 2019, may record kami nun. Akala ko okay na ang lahat so ang kinausap ko yung may right talaga, si Sir Lito Camo, siya ang composer, yung songwriter. Sa kanya ako nakipag-usap ng one on one, kasama ang Mom ko. Nabigyan kami ng go signal para mag-shoot, okay na, then yung team ko naman, yung director ko kinakausap si Angelica. Kaya kami nag-shoot sa Majayjay kasi taga Laguna siya, nasa politics siya kaya dun namin talaga sinadya. Dun ang naging shooting area namin, Majayjay saka Phuket, Thailand. Akala ko okay na ang lahat, di ko talaga alam kung ano ang nangyari, basta ang alam ko naka-usap ko na ang composer kasama yung Mama ko.”
According to Sachzna, Angelica was actually supposed to be part of the project.
“Actually dapat kasama siya sa shoot, may cameo siya dapar, akala ko okay na, dun ko siya mami-meet dapat. Wala naman kaming ibang time na mag-meet dun lang sa shoot na yun kasi sobrang busy niya nga raw sa poitics nun. After nun wala.na akong naging ibang update, nag-shoot lang naman ako, artist lang naman ako. Alam niya as an artist na may team ka na gagawa for you. Ako focus lang ako sa gagawin kong video, dun lang talaga ang focus ko tapos after nung lumabas na yun, hayun nagpapa-interview na siya sa mga press, sabi ko, “bakit may ganitong nangyayari? Marami na siyang masasakit na sinasabi sa akin, di ko siya kilala personally. Kilala siya ng Mom ko kasi magka-age sila ni Mama.
“Pinalagpas ko yun, wala.akong sinagot na kahit ano..Di ko rin ina-unvalidate ang feelings niya kasi baka nagkaroon talaga ng miscommunication.”
‘I Felt Like I Was Being Bullied’
One of the more recent points of contention involved an event where Angelica and Sachzna reportedly crossed paths.
Angelica had said that the encounter could have been an opportunity for Sachzna to approach her and finally talk things out. Sachzna, however, remembered the situation differently.
“Actually dapat kasama siya sa shoot, may cameo siya dapar, akala ko okay na, dun ko siya mami-meet dapat. Wala naman kaming ibang time na mag-meet dun lang sa shoot na yun kasi sobrang busy niya nga raw sa poitics nun. After nun wala.na akong naging ibang update, nag-shoot lang naman ako, artist lang naman ako. Alam niya as an artist na may team ka na gagawa for you. Ako focus lang ako sa gagawin kong video, dun lang talaga ang focus ko tapos after nung lumabas na yun, hayun nagpapa-interview na siya sa mga press, sabi ko, “bakit may ganitong nangyayari? Marami na siyang masasakit na sinasabi sa akin, di ko siya kilala personally. Kilala siya ng Mom ko kasi magka-age sila ni Mama.”
When asked specifically about the alleged snubbing incident, Sachzna recalled meeting Angelica at an awards event sometime in 2023 or 2024.
“Actually dapat kasama siya sa shoot, may cameo siya dapar, akala ko okay na, dun ko siya mami-meet dapat. Wala naman kaming ibang time na mag-meet dun lang sa shoot na yun kasi sobrang busy niya nga raw sa poitics nun. After nun wala.na akong naging ibang update, nag-shoot lang naman ako, artist lang naman ako. Alam niya as an artist na may team ka na gagawa for you. Ako focus lang ako sa gagawin kong video, dun lang talaga ang focus ko tapos after nung lumabas na yun, hayun nagpapa-interview na siya sa mga press, sabi ko, “bakit may ganitong nangyayari? Marami na siyang masasakit na sinasabi sa akin, di ko siya kilala personally. Kilala siya ng Mom ko kasi magka-age sila ni Mama.”
She then explained why she did not approach Angelica at the event.
““Nagkita kami sa isqng awarding ng mga CEO, siguro 2023, 2024, parang nag speech siya doon, the original Ms. Flawless, wala naman akong say dun kasi d ko naman masyadong pinanghahawakan yung title talaga kasi may.work na ako bago akong tinatawag nilang Ms..Flawless.
““Nung nagkita kami siyempre ang dami ko nang naririnig, di ko na alam kung paano siya i-approach kasi alam ko na galit na galit siya. Di ko siya tinarayan, di ko siya minalditahan, wala lang, casual lang lahat. Saka wala namang time para magbatian kami nun kasi malayo.ang mga tables namin saka 2019 pa lang ganun na ang naririnig ko. Ikaw ba pag may galit sa iyo, alam mo kung mo ia-approach? Iba-iba naman tayong mga tao, feeling ko di yun ang right time para mag-usap kami saka formal yung event na yun. Di ko alam na minasama din pala niya yun, saka ako kasi feeling ko nabu-bully na ako nung time na yun. Paulit-ulit na lang isyu na yun, and never akong sumagot, at hanggang sa ngayon mayroon na naman. Kaylan ba matatapos ito?”
Sachzna said she never intended the encounter to come across as disrespectful.
‘Why Me?’
Another point she wanted clarified was the perception that she benefited financially from reviving the song.
Sachzna said she did not earn money from the music video and maintained that she participated in it as an artist rather than as someone claiming ownership of the “Miss Flawless” identity.
“Thirteen years old.palang ako nagtatrabaho na ako.and without Ms. Flawless, okay ako. Ginawa ko lang yun as an artist, nilagay ako dun as an artist. Saka di sa akin inupload yun ha, sa youtube ng Ex B,wala.rin akong spotify so wala akong kinita kahit piso dun. Sabi ko nga as an artist ang ginampanan ko so di ko alam kung bakit alo lagi ang pinipin point, “bakit ako lang, bakit ako? Bakit ako ang sobrang bina-bash nila, bakit sa akin nagagalit ng sobra-sobra?”
For Sachzna, the issue has also become a question of how an older song can be passed from one generation of artists to another.
She said she would personally be happy if one of her own songs were revived by another performer.
“Iba na rin kasi ang generation ngayon, kumbaga kung magkaroon man ng ibang Ms.Flawless, for me ha kahit wala akong say, matutuwa ako kasi at least napapasa nang napapasa siya, nabubuhay nang nabubuhay, di siya namamatay. Kung magkaroon ng marami man, feeling ko nakakatuwa yun kasi napapasa nang napapasa. Sa akin kasi, wala namanh competition, kung magkaroon ng marami man, masaya yun, nakakatuwa yun kasi napapasa nang napapasa. Wala nang competition, collaboration na ngayon, kaming lahat na ng artists, mapa dati artist man, mapa-ngayong artist, nagko-collab yan.”
She added that she no longer wants to see the issue become a personal conflict.
“Ako ayoko nang kaaway, ngayon sobrang daming problema ng Pilipinas para magkaroon ka pa ng kaaway. Sa akin, sige sa iyo na yan, okay ako, kahit di Ms. Flawless, okay ako. Saka yung Ms. Flawless di lang naman yan nasusukat sa ganda, kung gaano.ka kakinis kungdi sa puso, kunf gaano kakinis ang puso mo. Iba-iba na ang pagkaka-interpret kung ano ang Ms. Flawless sa atin. Habang tumatagal lumalalim na yun nang lumalalim, di lang pisikal.”
Sachzna Gives Angelica the ‘Thank You’ and ‘Sorry’
Interestingly, the very thing Angelica said she had been waiting to hear is something Sachzna said she is willing to give.
“ Di ko.ipagkakait yun, siguro nasimulan lang sa pangit, sa di magandang simula kasi ganun agad eh, negative agad yung nangyari. Di ko alam kung paano siya maaayos.”
She then addressed Angelica directly.
“Ms. Angelica Jones, pasensiya na kung nagkaroon tayo ng di pagkakaunawaan, pagkakaintindihan. Sobrang bina-validate ko yung nararamdaman niya as an artist. Salamat kasi yung Ms. Flawless nabubuhay pa rin hanggang ngayon, mapapasa at mapapasa pa yan sa iba. Ayoko nang kaaway talaga, kung magkaroon man kami ng pagkakataon na magkita in person, magpapasalaamat ako in person, di lang sa social media, mas gusto ko nga in person. Walang camera, walang kahit na ano kasi iba pa rin pag sa personal.eh. Mas mararamdaman yun sa personal kaysa yung mga taong nanonood lang.”
Angelica’s original “Miss Flawless” identity dates back to the early 2000s, when the song became part of her public image. Her recent comments show how strongly she continues to associate the title with her own career, while Sachzna’s explanation centers on her understanding that the song’s revival had already gone through the appropriate channels.
The two women therefore appear to be coming from different understandings of the same 2019 project: Angelica viewed the lack of a direct personal acknowledgment as hurtful, while Sachzna believed communication had already taken place through their respective teams and through Lito Camo, the song’s composer.
A New Chapter for Sachzna
The Miss Flawless controversy is only one of several major developments in Sachzna’s life in recent months.
Following the end of her relationship with Mark Pascual, she has confirmed that she is now in a relationship with Renz Calvin Estrella, identified as the CEO of Zenith Capital Philippines. The breakup with Mark also became the subject of public discussion because of Sachzna’s claim that he owed her PHP50 million.
Sachzna explained that what may have looked like a quick move on her part was actually the result of a much longer emotional process.
“Ang daming nangyayari sa akin parang ilang buwan pa.lang di ba? Ang dami ng isyu, ang dami nang pinagdaanan, parang yung buhay ko roller coaster. Ngayon mayroon na akong new partner, CEO siya ng isang lending company. Lagi nilang sinasabi bakit ang bilis kong naka-move on, isang taon na akong nagmu-move on. Ang tawag dun silent quitting, nung iniinterview nyo ako before wala na akong nararamdaman, alam ko na kung saan papunta. Nakaka-relate ang ibang mga babae diyan na grabe yung pagsa-suffer nila sa isang relasyon na alam nilang wala nang pupuntahan, alam mo yung inuubos na lang nila yung sarili nila. Kaya parang ang feeling nila ang bilis kong magpalit, ang bilis kong magka-boyfriend pero yun nga yung dahilan. Matagal na akong nagmu-move on, nasa relasyon pa lang ako.”
Sachzna said her relationship with Renz developed quietly.
“Yung business partner ko, friend siya. Di niya ako kilala talaga, wala siyang alam sa mundo ko. Talagang private siyang tao, hanggang ngayon kung itse-check nyo, naka-private siya. Di niya ako kilala sa social media, nakilala niya ako sa Sazchna as a persoh. Nanligaw siya sa akin ng isang buwan, consistent na ligaw. Kilala na ako ng parents niya, kilala na siya ng parents ko. Okay kami, sobrang okay kami, chill lang kami, kumbaga wala kaming minamadali, okay kami. Getting to know each other, nandun pa rin.”
And after what she describes as a difficult previous relationship, Sachzna said she is bringing the lessons she learned into her new one.
“Siyempre naman, huwag mong ibibigay ang lahat-lahat talaga at wag ka nang magpapautang ng fifty million, haahahahaa! Grabeng lesson yun ha. Ngayon naman di ba sabi ko nga ang buhay ko ngayon ay roller coaster, kumbaga sumasabay na lang ako sa agos, sa flow kung ano ang mayroon sa akin ngayon eh. Sanay na ako, parang wala nang bago. Ngayon pag nasa mundo ka kasi ng socia media kailangan matatag ang utak mo, ang mental health mo. Di puwedeng mahina ka diyan, so ako matatag ako ngayon, more tatag pa, 10x pa kasi mental health ko ang nakasalalay dito.”
As for the PHP50-million debt involving her former partner, Sachzna previously clarified through a social-media post that reports claiming she had already been paid were not accurate. She said the issue remains unresolved and asked that false information about the matter not be circulated.
For now, Sachzna appears to want the same thing when it comes to the “Miss Flawless” controversy: for the issue to finally come to an end.
Her message to Angelica is already on record.
And should the two eventually meet face-to-face, Sachzna says she would rather have that conversation without cameras, social media, or an audience. She believes that some things are better said personally.
