Now that Pokwang is officially with GMA Artist Center, the comedienne-TV host couldn't be any happier for the exciting development in her career.
“Of course, as an artist, I think I still have a lot to share with the public. There are still so many things that I want to do for my followers. I’m very grateful that the management gave me the golden opportunity to fulfill that,” she told Manila Standard Entertainment.
Now that she’s in her new home, she listed a few names among the Kapuso stars whom she wants to work with.
“I want to experience working with Alden [Richards]. We haven’t worked yet but we were together in one event in the past where I served as the host and I found him to be affectionate and respectful. Then came the time when I got to work with Jose [Manalo] and Wally [Bayola] in ‘Eat Bulaga!’ and Alden was very accommodating. He also reacts actively to my posts on my social media accounts.
“Apart from Alden, I would also like to collaborate again with Rayver Cruz. Everybody knows that we were together before in the rival network. We traveled in the past for tours and concerts abroad. In fact, when he learned that I’m already in GMA, he was overjoyed. That’s why I’m so excited to work with him again.
When it comes to the female stars, Pokwang cited Maria Rivera and Jennylyn Mercado.
Many say that since she’s with GMA already, she may not have a project with Ai Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo.
“Our bosses here in the Kapuso lot are saying that the three of us are already here so I’m looking forward to collaborating with them. Both are my friends. Don’t you think it will be fun if we’ll top-bill a talk show which is similar to their old program ‘Sis!’ which will now be titled, ‘Tits!’ since we’re already Titas. A sitcom starring the three of us is also a good idea.”
But asked what type of show she personally wants to do, the comedienne states:
“I like something which is connected to my passion, which is cooking. I’ve mentioned this to GMA already. I really want to share valuable insights with the public, especially mothers. As a businesswoman, I want to give tips on how to make life easier especially in this time of pandemic. Hope I’ll be given the chance.”
It’s confirmed that Pokwang’s maiden regular show as a Kapuso is “Pepito Manaloto: Unang Kuwento.” She already appeared in “The Boobay and Tekla Show” and will also have guest stints in the station’s other top-rating programs like “All-Out Sundays”, “Sarap ‘Di Ba”, “Magpakailanman”, “Wish Ko Lang,”' and “Dear Uge.”
