Pokwang On Being The New Comedy Queen Of ABS-CBN Now That Ai Ai De Las Alas Has Moved To GMA-7

POKWANG DENIES she’s the new Comedy Queen of ABS-CBN now that Ai Ai de las Alas is with GMA-7. “May ganun? Naku, pag-usapan na lang po natin ang ‘Nathaniel’ ng Dreamscape dahil napakaganda po talaga ng bago naming primetime show na ito may isang isang magandang mensahe po ito para sa lahat, sa buong pamilya, lalung-lalo na po sa mga kabataan,” she says, evading the question concerning Ai Ai.

“I feel so blessed lang na napasama ako sa isang proyekto na kapupulutan ng aral ng lahat ng manonood kaya very excited kaming lahat dito.”

“Nathaniel” starts airing tonight, replacing “Dream Dad”. It’s an inspirational serye that follows in the footsteps of “May Bukas Pa”, “100 Days to Heaven” and “Honesto” in imparting good values. Pokwang plays Beth, the wife of Benjie Paras, and they become the adoptive parents of child actor Marco Masa as Nathaniel when he is sent down from heaven to help people regain their faith in the Lord. Would Pokwang wish to have another child like Marco?



“Kaya ko pa naman at 44 dahil buo pa ang matris ko. Wala akong anak na lalaki kasi my son then died when he was only 5 years old due to cancer. My only daughter is now a teenager. Nangangarap din ako magkaroon uli ng anak hanggat kaya ko pa. Ang sarap kaya maging nanay. Big blessing 'yon. As of now, talagang sobrang blessed na ako. Iniisip ko 'yong buhay ko dati, 'yong natutulog kaming hindi man lang nakakain ng mga kapatid ko. Dati pinapalayas kami kasi wala kaming pambayad sa renta ng aming bahay. Pero ngayon, lahat sila, nabigyan ko na ng bahay. Ang anak ko, napag-aral ko sa magandang eskwela. Kaya everyday, nagpasalamat ako kasi sobrang blessed ko na,” and she couldn’t help but cry as she recalls her sad past.
