- Pokwang broke down in tears as she narrated her story with her 77-year-old mom.
- During her guesting in “Magandang Buhay”, the comedienne expressed her gratitude to her mother.
- She also confirmed her pregnancy with her boyfriend Lee O’Brian.
Pokwang could not help herself to become emotional during her guesting in “Magandang Buhay” on June 20, as she narrated how much she loves her mother.
Tears fell down from the comedienne’s eyes when she recounted the story behind the photo of her together with her mother Gloria, who has been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
She said while crying, “Summer ‘yan, ang init ng panahon. Kumakaway siya sa itaas (ng bahay). Sabi ko, ‘Halika, ma, baba.’ Sabi ko, ‘Bihisan niyo ng swimsuit ‘yung mala-Miss Universe,’ tapos bumaba. Noong una ayaw niya, natatakot siya. Tapos ang higpit ng kapit niya, sabi niya, ‘Huwag mo akong bibitawan.’
Alam mo ‘yung mga anak, noong bata pa tayo, ‘yung pagalalay nila sa atin, trust them na hindi tayo bibitawan kahit anong pagdaanan sa buhay. ‘Yun ang naramdaman ko, hindi din kita bibitawan.”
Pokwang also told the hosts that her mother is actually the one who taught her to swim back then when they’re still living in Pasig City.
She revealed, “Habang naglalaba ‘yan, kami ay nasa gilid-gilid, tinuturuan niya kaming lumangoy. Ibinabalik lang natin. Para sa akin ang mensahe ng picture na ‘yan ay ibalik natin kung ano ang ibinigay nila para sa atin.”
The comedienne thanked her mother for raising her and loving her throughout the years. “Lahat ng mga payo mo dinala ko dito sa (puso ko) at dito (sa utak ko). Thank you sa mga payo, sa pagiging mahigpit, nakatikim ng palo at dahil doon ay may natutunan ako sa buhay,” she emotionally stressed.
Pokwang is pregnant with her partner Lee O’Brian and is set to give birth in February next year.
