Kapuso host-comedienne-actress Pokwang can’t help but react to the recent viral school violence involving two grade-school students of Colegio de San Agustin Makati.
In a tweet on Tuesday, December 6, Pokwang lamented the incident as a stressful situation not only for the students involved but also for their parents.
She also advised students not to cause additional stress for their parents, who are already stressed due to the ongoing pandemic.
The actress tweeted, “Yung mga batang nakikipag suntukan sa school dahil face to face na ang ulit nakakaloka kayo ha! wag nyo na dagdagan stress ng mga magulang nyo! pag alis nyo ng bahay nagdarasal nayan na ilayo kayo sa virus dahil may pandemic pa tapos nakikipag suntukan pa kayo? Haayy.”
