After Vice Ganda got offended by critics belittling the comedy genre especially as a Metro Manila Film Festival entry, Pokwang also expressed her dismay about how she and her fellow comedians are treated.
Pokwang shared, “Minsan na pangyayari sa mga shows, mararamdaman mo rin na parang, ‘ha dito lang talaga kami nakatambay?”
Despite the inconveniences as a comedian, Pokwang remains positive that this is part of the reality they have to encounter. For her, it’s more important to make people happy instead of focusing on the difficulties, as it would reflect on their aura.
“Pero ako pinagdarasal ko na lang na, okay lang, bigyan niyo na lang po ako ng powers na mapasaya ko sila, ganun talaga eh. Dumarating talaga ang mga ganung pagkakataon. Itawa mo na lang huwag ka magpaapekto kasi haharap ka sa kanila so ‘pag nag-reflect sa muka mo ‘yun, wala na.”
Pokwang believes comedians need to keep improving

The audiences are getting younger so Pokwang believes that comedians have to keep up and familiarize themselves with what millennials really want to watch nowadays.
“Kailangan talaga sumabay. Kailangan kasi ‘yung mga millennials, kailangan sasabay ka sa kung ano ang uso. Kailangan mo talaga mag-evolve din kasi kung hindi ‘pag naiwan ka doon, wala na.”
