Pokwang already had lots of projects lined up for Kapuso viewers.

To her delight, she’s expected to star in the upcoming season of “Pepito Manaloto” and make a guest appearance on “The Boobay and Tekla Show.”

Pokwang told veteran showbiz reporter Lhar Santiago that that’s what she had always wanted to do—go back to comedy.

“Sobrang tuwang-tuwa po ako na ’yung mga in-expect ko, na natupad kaagad,” she said.

[I’m very happy that what I expected to happen came true.]

Pokwang will also be part of the monthlong 19th anniversary celebration of GMA-7’s drama anthology “Wish Ko Lang,” which will kick off in July.

Pokwang, whose real name is Marietta Subong, is known for her incredible sense of humor and performances on film and television.

She has received numerous recognitions throughout her career, including an award for Best Comedy Actress from the Movie Press Club.
