Pokwang is now a 'lola'

Actress-comedienne Marietta Subong, popularly known as Pokwang, has revealed that she is now a proud grandmother to a four-year-old grandson, the child of her eldest daughter, Mae Subong.

During her guest appearance on "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda" on Christmas Day, Pokwang shared the good news.

"I am a lola and it’s another blessing," Pokwang revealed to Abunda.

"I have a four-year-old, super, super cute. Another blessing ng buhay ko, another reason na ipagdasal ko ang sarili ko na humaba pa ang buhay ko para makita ko ang paglaki. Super, super cute na bata, super talino. I am a proud lola (I have a four-year-old, super, super cute [grandchild]. Another blessing in my life, another reason to pray for a longer life so I can watch them grow up. A super cute and intelligent child. I am a proud grandmother)," she added.

According to the comedienne, she openly accepted her daughter Mae when she found out that she was pregnant with her first baby.

"Hindi ako nagalit. Basta maka-graduate ka lang, masaya na ako. Sinunod naman niya ako kahit masakit sa likod ang tuition fee niya (I wasn’t angry. As long as you graduate, I’m happy. She followed my advice, even though paying her tuition fees was tough)," she shared.

"Sabi ko, 'Maka-graduate ka lang, ako na yung pinakamasayang nanay', ginawa naman niya. Naka-graduate siya, nakapagtrabaho siya, hindi naman siya naging pasaway na bata. Hindi naman siya naging sakit sa ulo na anak. Kaya nung nalaman ko na she’s pregnant, I was so so happy. Hindi ako nagalit. Hindi ko siya sinumbatan (I told her, 'Just graduate, and I’ll be the happiest mom,' and she did. She graduated, found a job, and never caused me any trouble. So, when I found out she was pregnant, I was so, so happy. I didn’t get angry or scold her)," she recalled.

Aside from her 28-year-old daughter Mae, the comedienne has a six-year-old daughter with her estranged partner Lee O'Brian.
