Recently, Pokwang signed a contract with GMA-7 network, which in effect ended her connection with ABS-CBN, her original home.
“Hindi ko naman sila masisisi,” the comedienne said of her bashers.
It was in ABS-CBN that Pokwang was discovered and rose to fame as a comedienne.
Some netizens questioned her decision to transfer as she has a huge debt of gratitude to her original network.
“Tayo naman may kanya-kanya tayong paniniwala at pananaw sa buhay. Pero kasi ang pananaw ko po sa buhay ko is 'yung utang na loob hindi mawawala. Habangbuhay nandoon 'yun,” Pokwang said.
Last year, the network was forced to shut its mainstream operations after failing to secure a congressional franchise to operate.
ABS-CBN talents like Pokwang suddenly found themselves without a job, though the network was able to accommodate some through its online programming.
She said that since a lot of people depend on her, she has to make a decision fast.
“Pero tandaan po natin na 'yung pamilya po natin, sila po 'yung dahilan kung bakit po tayo patuloy na lumalaban sa kabila ng mga nangyayaring ito,” she explained.
Finally the comedienne issued an appeal for netizens who continue to bash her.
“Naiintindihan ko, nauunawaan ko 'yan. Pero sana unawain din po ninyo, nanay din po ako. Marami pong umaasa sa akin, marami rin pong umaasa sa akin, marami rin po akong gustong matulungan pa,” Pokwang appealed.
