Pokwang Finally Reveals True Feelings Toward Fyang Smith After Viral Advice Controversy
POKWANG – Veteran actress and comedienne Pokwang opened up about her relationship with Fyang Smith and the backlash from fans, clarifying the real intent behind her viral statement.
Pokwang recently opened up about her true feelings toward young star Fyang Smith during her guest appearance on The Issue is You, hosted by Ogie Diaz and Inah Evans. Addressing previous assumptions, Pokwang clarified that she harbors no anger toward Fyang but expressed disappointment over how some of the young actress’s supporters reacted to her earlier piece of advice.
Pokwang explained that her message was never meant as criticism but rather as a form of guidance drawn from her many years in the entertainment industry. With more than two decades of experience, she said she only wanted to share lessons that could help rising artists maintain long and meaningful careers.
“Hindi ako galit kay Fyang. Galit ako the way i-handle nung mga fans niya ‘yung payo na binibigay. Gusto mo palang bigyan ng payo bakit mo dinaan sa social media? Saan ba siya na-ano, hindi ba sa social media din?” Pokwang said during the interview.
The seasoned actress highlighted that her main intention was to remind young celebrities to stay humble and grounded. She pointed out that fame can be fleeting, but one’s character will determine how far one can go in showbiz. “Realidad po ito… ngayon, ang pag aartista, taon-taon may bago, taon-taon may reality show, every month may bago ng bago.”
“Pero, yung maiiwan, yung ugali mo sa katrabaho mo sa industriya, yun yung magpapahaba para manatili ka dito,” she added.
Pokwang shared that throughout her 21 years in the industry, she has witnessed many artists experience both success and downfall. Her only aim, she emphasized, was to impart wisdom gained from experience—not to spark controversy online.
It can be remembered that earlier this year, Pokwang offered advice to Fyang after the latter’s viral moments. “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 nalang silang active sa showbiz so iha please wag muna mag yabang bad yan,” she wrote at the time.
With her recent remarks, Pokwang once again underscored her desire to guide the new generation of artists with sincerity and compassion.
