She followed this with another post expressing her frustration and turning to faith amid the controversy: “Nakakaiyak nalang talaga buti nalang ikaw ang tunay na kadamay namin Lord nilalagay nalamang naming mga Pilipino sa inyong mga kamay, tanging kayo ang nakakaalam kung sino ang tunay at hindi ang hangarin sa bansa parusahan ang dapat maparusahan sa ngalan ng tiwala na winasak .”

Her posts came after former DPWH Bulacan engineer Brice Hernandez alleged that Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva, along with some DPWH officials, received kickbacks from flood control projects.
According to Hernandez, legislators and officials received 30% shares (“SOP”) from projects allocated through the General Appropriations Act, with deliveries allegedly coursed through district engineers.
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada has denied the accusations, challenging Hernandez to a public lie detector test to prove who is telling the truth.
“Talk is cheap — handa akong patunayan na pawang mga kasinungalingan ang sinasabi niya tungkol sa akin,” Estrada said in a statement.
As of this writing, Sen. Joel Villanueva has yet to release an official statement.
Pokwang, who currently co-hosts ‘Tiktoclock’ on GMA Network, has been vocal about social and political issues, often using her platform to amplify public sentiments.
