Pokwang says Lee O'Brian has filed a motion for voluntary deportation

Pokwang has posted an update on the status of the deportation case she filed against her ex-partner, Lee O’Brian.

On Instagram, Saturday, Pokwang shared a photo of themselves together with their daughter and thanked those who helped her with the case.

“Una po sa lahat, nais ko po sanang magpasalamat sa Bureau of Immigration para sa kanilang mabilis at patas na resolusyon sa aking petisyon na maipadeport si William Lee O’Brian. Masaya ako at ang aking mga anak sa naging desisyon ng BI,” she wrote in the caption.

“Sa mga dokumento na dumating sa akin, nalaman ko na naghain ng Motion for Reconsideration si Lee noong December 28, 2023," she added. "Buo ang tiwala ko na sa amin pa rin papanig ang hustisya dahil nasa aming panig ang katotohanan.”

Moreover Lee filed a motion for voluntary deportation on January 10.

“Naging mabigat ang aking saloobin mula ng nagkaproblema kami ni Lee, at nagpatuloy pa ito kahit nanalo na kami sa deportation case laban sa kanya," Pokwang said. "Dahil na din siguro ito sa mga limitasyon ko bilang tao, bilang solo parent na nagtataguyod sa aking pamilya. Valid man itong aking mga nararamdaman, hindi ito sapat na dahilan para makapagsabi ako ng mga masakit at walang basehan na bagay sa aking kapwa, partikular sa ating mga kasamahan sa BI.”

Pokwang then apologized to some government officials, saying, “Pasensya na po kung sa bugso ng aking damdamin, ay may mga nasasabi akong di kaaya-aya.”

She ended her post by writing, “Pang huli, humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa taumbayan kung ako ay naging malupit sa aking mga nabibitawang salita. Patawad po, at sana ay patuloy po ninyo akong suportahan sa pamamagitan ng inyong pagunawa at panalangin.”

Pokwang and Lee broke up in 2021, with the comedian defending Lee against third-party rumors.

However, Pokwang said in an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” that she had to lie to maybe still save their relationship.

The actress also previously said that she was the one who kicked Lee out of their home, adding that he has moved on to someone new.

In June last year, Pokwang filed the deportation case against Lee. According to her lawyer, he has been working in the Philippines without a permit.

Among the actress’ complaints against him are financial abuse, intimidation, and abandonment of Malia.

Lee then filed a counter-affidavit against the deportation case.
