POKWANG APOLOGIZES FOR BROTHER WHO SLAPPED MAN WITH CART IN ANTIPOLO

COMEDIAN-HOST Pokwang on Tuesday apologized after her brother slapped a man who was pushing a cart with his daughter in Antipolo City.

The incident went viral on social media.

According to Pokwang, the driver in the viral video was her brother.

“Paalala lang po, ang kasalanan po ni Pedro ay hindi po pwedeng kasalanan ni Juan. Maaari pong iisa kami ng apelyido pero hindi po kami lagi pareho ng pag-iisip at ng mga gawain araw-araw, ” said Pokwang in a video posted on her Facebook.

“Ako po ay humihingi ng dispensa doon po sa kanyang nakaalitan, lalong-lalo na po doon sa anak na babae. Pasensya ka na iha, dadalawin kita ha. Wait lang ha pupunta ang Tita Pokwang mo diyan. Pasensya ka na,” she added.

“Hindi po ako natutuwa, at hindi ko dapat kampihan ‘yung nangyari po doon sa kapatid ko. Hindi naman din po ako, siyempre nanay din naman po ako,” Pokwang said.

Meanwhile, the comedian-host  called out those who went beyond the viral video and posted faces of her family members and relatives.. 

“Paalala ko lang din po, doon sa mga nagpost pa ng paulit-ulit ng mukha nung pamilya ko, may tinatawag po tayong cyber bullying at cyber libel,” she said. 

Pokwang reiterated that while she does not condone her brother’s actions, people should be mindful and cautious about what they say regarding her family.

Following the incident, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the license of the driver in the viral video for 90 days.

The LTO also issued a show cause order against the driver.
