Pokwang shared what she experienced in past GMA Galas
Kapuso comedienne-host Pokwang revealed the reason why she did not attend the GMA Gala 2025.
Pokie rose to fame in the Philippine entertainment industry through her project on the Kapamilya network. From doing comedy shows, she ventures into hosting and making movies.
When she decided to transfer to GMA in 2021, she was given a chance to host her own show, the morning variety show TiktoClock with TV host Kim Atienza.
She is currently one of the judges of the celebrity dance competition Stars on the Floor. Just like fans of other Kapuso stars, Pokwang’s fans also anticipated seeing her at the GMA Gala.
However, the comedienne-host did not attend the annual fundraising event to support the Kapuso Foundation.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Pokie retweeted a netizen’s post. “Wala si mamang @pokwang27 sa #GMAGala2025 ano?” X user @panda_na_kyut wrote.
When Pokie retweeted this, she explained the reason for her absence. She said that she cooked her projects for Mamang Pokwang’s gourmet. The comedienne received a bulk order, and there was a deadline.
Aside from being busy with her showbiz engagements, Pokie also has a food business that she manages personally.
After sharing that reason, Pokie shared another thing about her decision not to attend the said event. “Attend ka ng GALA gagastos ka e effort ka tapos lalaitin kapa ng tao hahahhaha edi magluto nalang ng paninda,” the comedienne-host said.
Several netizens agreed with Pokie’s perspective on spending money and being practical, while others admired her hard work. Here are some comments.
Meanwhile, during the typhoon last month that caused widespread flooding in Metro Manila, Pokwang was admired by netizens for telling her house help not to ask for a discount when buying their food because vendors had suffered tremendously because of the situation.
