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.
