Pokwang, who has consistently used her platform not just for comedy but also for social commentary, appeared to channel the collective outrage of ordinary Filipinos. Her post highlighted the pain of a nation grappling with greed and exploitation while calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
Marietta Subong, or Pokwang, is among the most well-loved comediennes in the industry. Her frank and motherly ways are always "patok" among Filipinos. She used to be with ABS-CBN but moved to GMA during the pandemic. Some of her popular movies are Call Center, A Mother’s Story, and Edsa Woolworth. She has two daughters, Mae and Malia. Her split with Lee O'Brian has caused a buzz on social media.
In a previous report by KAMI, Pokwang joined Catholics in celebrating Mama Mary’s birthday by posting a prayer on Instagram Stories. She shared a clip of her home altar, featuring statues of the Blessed Vìrgìn Mary, the Child Jesus, and other saints, adorned with flowers, and a candle. The comedienne paired the short video with a heartfelt prayer for the country.
Earlier, Pokwang revealed on social media that she has been overworking despite being sick. She linked her struggles to the comfort and luxury enjoyed by unnamed individuals who flaunt their lavish lifestyles online. The actress-comedienne also encouraged such people not to deactivate their social media accounts, adding, “para alam ng taong bayan na napapasaya namin kayo.” Her message surfaced as public frustration over social inequality and corruption remains a heated issue. In recent weeks, netizens have pointed out how families of politicians and government contractors allegedly live in comfort—traveling abroad, flaunting luxury items, and enjoying privileges—while ordinary workers face daily struggles.
