Comedienne and entrepreneur Pokwang had the internet buzzing after her witty yet unapologetically honest response to fans asking why she skipped the GMA Gala 2025.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pokwang revealed she chose to stay home—not for rest, but for business:

“Nagluto po ako ng paninda ko sa Mamang Pokwang’s Gourmet. Meron po kasi deadline, mga bulk na order po.”

Known for her humor and hustle, Pokwang didn’t hold back as she threw a little shade with charm:

“Attend ka ng GALA, gagastos ka, e-effort ka, tapos lalaitin ka pa ng tao hahahhaha. Edi magluto nalang ng paninda.”

Her candid reply quickly trended, with many netizens praising her for keeping it real and choosing productivity over pageantry.

Who needs the red carpet when you’ve got a booming gourmet business and a kitchen full of flavor? Pokwang proves once again: hustle is always in style.
