On Wednesday, March 23, Pokwang hit back on bashers who criticized her for supporting Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo and her running mate Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.
Pokwang said they should support artists backing up their preferred candidates instead of bashing them.
She wrote, “Bakit kapag kaming mga #Kakampink na artista nag post ng suporta kay #LeniKiko sa IG, FB at Twitter ang daming mga nagmamaasim na suporter ng kabila? Bakit di nyo nalang suportahan mga kapwa ko artista na kaalyado n’yo kesa i-bash nyo kami? They need your support too!”

In her recent tweet, she also stated that she is not scared of losing followers for supporting Robredo and Pangilinan.
“Gusto ko lang malaman nyong mga nagbabanta mag-unfollow sa ‘kin, go ahead. ‘Di po ako takot mawalan ng followers! Takot akong mawalan ng dangal at karapatan lumaban para sa bayan at para sa ‘king mga anak at magiging apo,” she added.
