The Moment That Left Everyone in Tears

The emotional exchange occurred during a segment of “It’s Showtime”, where Pokwang, as usual, was the life of the show—engaging in fun banter with her co-hosts. However, things took a sudden, heart-wrenching turn when Vice Ganda asked her a deeply personal question about her past relationship with Lee O’Brian, her ex-partner with whom she shares a daughter, Malia.

While the two were once in a loving relationship and even seemed like one of showbiz’s most adored couples, their separation came as a surprise to many of their fans. Pokwang has always been open about the challenges of co-parenting and moving on after a breakup, but she has rarely discussed her emotions surrounding the split in such a public forum.

As Vice Ganda delicately asked her about how she has been coping with the breakup, the question clearly struck a nerve. Pokwang, who is usually quick-witted and composed, was visibly shaken. With tears welling up in her eyes, she tried to hold herself together, but the emotions poured out as she shared her struggles.

“It’s never easy to move on, Vice. You just try to be strong for your child, but sometimes… sometimes the pain is just too much.” Pokwang said, her voice quivering. Her vulnerability in this moment left not just the studio audience but also her fellow hosts and fans in shock.

Vice Ganda’s Support and Comfort

True to his nature, Vice Ganda quickly shifted from his usual playful demeanor to a much more compassionate and caring one. He immediately reached out to Pokwang, offering her comfort in the form of a warm embrace. Vice, known for his comedic timing, knows exactly when to drop the humor and offer genuine care—and this was one of those moments.

“Pokie, don’t worry. You are such a strong person. You have been through so much, and I know that you will continue to shine, with or without anyone by your side. You deserve all the happiness in the world.” Vice Ganda said, his voice full of sincerity.

The audience watched as Pokwang wiped her tears and smiled faintly at Vice’s words of encouragement. The bond between the two was evident, and Vice’s comforting words seemed to lift the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Pokwang’s Brave Confession About Her Breakup with Lee O’Brian

After taking a moment to compose herself, Pokwang bravely opened up about the reality of her breakup with Lee O’Brian. She admitted that although they tried their best to make things work for the sake of their daughter, sometimes relationships don’t last despite the love and effort put into them.

“I’m not going to lie… it’s hard. I wanted to give Malia the complete family that she deserves. I wanted us to be a family, but sometimes things don’t turn out the way we hope.” Pokwang shared, her voice softening. “But we’re okay now, and I’m just focusing on raising Malia and making sure she knows that she’s loved, no matter what.”

Pokwang’s strength and vulnerability in this moment touched the hearts of many. Fans who had been following her journey as a single mother and co-parent were deeply moved by her honesty and courage in talking about something so personal.
