Comedienne Pokwang is the featured star in this month’s episodes of GMA Network’s award-winning weekly magical anthology Daig Kayo Ng Lola Ko.
Entitled “It’s Not You, It’s Me,” the episode that premiered on Oct. 3 introduces the fresh team-up of award-winning actress, comedian, and television host as Sunshine, a doting mother to her kids who is on the brink of separation from her husband; and seasoned actor Tonton Gutierrez as Homer, Sunshine’s husband who is often at odds with his wife.
Completing the cast of this exciting episode are Paul Salas as Martin, Shanelle Agustin as Carla, Frances Makil as Grandma Merlie, and Maey Bautista as Chuchay.
As a mother herself, Pokwang shares what is the most important takeaway from their story.
“Our episode would like to remind the audience that in any situation, family always comes first,” the comedienne told Manila Standard Entertainment in a virtual interview.
The actress also expressed her enthusiasm having to work with her co-stars Tonton and Paul once again.
“Matagal na rin kaming hindi nagkatrabaho ni Tonton. Para kaming may mini reunion dito. Sobrang sarap katrabaho ni Tonton at nagulat ako na binatang-binata na rin si Paul,” she added.
Grandma Merlie is set to visit her daughter Sunshine and her family. Her secret dwarf friend, Chuchay, wishes to tag along but Grandma Merlie refuses. She believes that Sunshine’s family is still the loving family she knows. Unbeknownst to Grandma Merlie, Sunshine and Homer are on the brink of separation and their twins, Carla and Martin, are shocked to see their dad leaving.
With Grandma Merlie’s unanticipated visit, Sunshine and Homer are forced to pretend that the family is doing fine. On the other hand, Grandma Merlie discovers that Chuchay has sneaked in her luggage and the two make a deal that no one else should know about her existence.
Chuchay secretly observes the family and finds out about Sunshine and Homer’s impending divorce. Chuchay conjures some magic and the married couple switches bodies.
How will Sunshine and Homer handle this bizarre situation when their relationship is already in shambles? Find out in Daig Kayo Ng Lola Ko’s It’s Not You, It’s Me — under the helm of esteemed director Rico Gutierrez — Sundays, 7:00 p.m. on GMA.
