Pokwang Denies Someone From ABS-CBN Is Hampering Her Career. She's In A New Movie, 'Sol Searching', & A New TV Show, 'Honey My Love So Sweet'

POKWANG is back on the big screen after giving birth to her baby girl, Malia. This is in the current entry to the ToFarm Filmfest, “Sol Searching”. “Comedy-drama ito by Roman Perez about a teacher, si Sol, played by Gilleth Sandico, who dies at walang mag-aasikaso sa kanya kasi wala na siyang kamag-anak at hiwalay na rin siya sa asawa niyang si Joey Marquez,” she says. “Ako as her best friend ang nag-start ng ambagan para mabigyan siya ng decent burial. Dahil well loved naman siya, nagtulong-tulong ang lahat para sa libing niya. Pero may twist sa ending ng story.”

Aside from this, she’s also in the cast of another festival movie, “Oda sa Wala”, an entry in the QCinema Filmfest next month. “I play an old maid na owner ng isang funeral parlor na wala ng pag-asa sa buhay pero nabuhayan ng loob dahil sa isang bangkay. Kasama ko naman diyan si Joonee Gamboa,, directed by Dwein Baltazar.”

Is it true someone at ABS-CBN is preventing her from having a new show? “Naku, hindi totoo yan. Nagte-taping nga ako ng isang bagong show, e. Yung ‘Honey My Love So Sweet’ with Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber. Hindi ako agad nagkaroon ng bagong show kasi nga nanganak ako at hinintay ko ring lumaki-laki muna ang baby ko.”

Will she and her partner, actor Lee O’Brian, have another baby soon? “Ewan ko. 46 na ako. At mula noong manganak, wala pa kaming chorva kasi caesarean ako, ang laki ng hiwa sa tiyan ko, no? E, kung bumuka yung tahi ko? At saka nagka-post partum blues ako.”

So Lee is practising abstinence since she’s not available? “Bayaan mo muna siyang magsariling sikap,” she laughs. “At busy rin naman siya. He did two movies, ‘Signal Rock’ and ‘Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi’. Tapos ngayon, he appears in a play sa BGC, yung ‘M Butterfly’ na maganda ang role niya.”
