COMEDIENNE and TV host Pokwang said she is considering filing legal charges against supporters of Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 Big Winner Fyang Smith who allegedly issued threats against her and her daughter, Malia.
“’Yung may mga fans na nagmamahal ng sobra to the point pati si Malia na anak ko, wish nila ng di maganda! Na-screenshot ko na para kasuhan,” Pokwang wrote in a social media post.
The threats reportedly came after Pokwang publicly advised Fyang to practice humility, following the latter’s viral statement claiming that her batch was the best in the 18-season history of Pinoy Big Brother.
“Alam mo, kahit ilang batch pa ’yan, walang makakatalo sa batch namin. Hello? Gen 11? Breaking… Highest… Hello?” Fyang had said during a fan event.
“Hindi, joke lang! Kaya walang makakatalo sa batch namin kasi lahat kami very genuine, very authentic. Akala nga namin walang nanonood, kaya lahat kami gano’n mga ugali namin,” she added.
In response, Pokwang reminded the young star to keep her feet on the ground: “My God, iha, 21 years na ako sa showbiz at ang sekreto—BE HUMBLE iha. ’Yan muna ang pag-aralan. Naka-ilang PBB season na ang nasaksihan ko pero iilan na lang silang active sa showbiz. So iha please, ’wag muna magyabang. Bad ’yan.”
Despite the negative reactions, Pokwang stood by her statements and expressed gratitude for her long and fulfilling career in show business.
“Yes, kagaya ng makatrabaho ko sila Nadine, Liza Soberano, Sandara Park, Kim Chu, Melai—di ko malilimutan ’yon. Kasama sila Marian Rivera, Vilma Santos, Eddie Garcia, Tatay Dolphy, Gloria Romero… wait, John Lloyd, Aga, Claudine B., Bossing Vic pa at Juday. Sarap malaos kapag ganyan mga naka-work mo,” she said.
