COMEDIAN-host Pokwang appealed to critics of Vice Ganda not to drag his mother Rosario into the controversy over his “jet ski holiday” joke.
“Wag naman po tayong ganyan! Kung may na-offend man sa joke ni Vice, e wag naman po idamay ang nanay kasi hindi naman artista o politiko ang kanyang ina,” Pokwang wrote on X.
“Kaming mga artista at politiko ay tanggap namin na na-ba-bash kami kahit minsan masakit, wag naman si nanay Rosario please…maling-mali po. Hindi naman si nanay Rosario nagsulat ng script ni meme o nag-utos sa kanya na ganon ang i-joke nya!” she added.
The joke, made during Vice Ganda’s concert last week, drew flak from supporters of former president Rodrigo Duterte, who saw it as a swipe at Duterte’s 2016 campaign promise to ride a jet ski to the West Philippine Sea.
