When will TV host-comedienne Pokwang stop harrying her former partner Lee O'Brian, or won't she? Again, this disturbing question comes to mind as Pokwang — in one of Ogie Diaz's recent vlog interviews — shared a never-before-told incident involving her and Lee.
Pokwang — then pregnant with their only child Malia — had discovered that Lee would "never fail to like" a woman who stripped naked on Instagram.
"Since Lee and I would follow each other on IG, the posts would also appear on my timeline. I did some research on the girl who I found out hails from Aklan. Imagine, Lee would always like that woman's nude photos?" Pokwang exclaimed in Filipino.
What does she hope to achieve after her exposé? Will recycling an old story bring Pokwang any closer to justice? INSTAGRAM PHOTO/ITSPOKWANG27
Pokwang's startling discovery, however, proved disastrous to her.
Apparently humiliated, one afternoon while Pokwang was taking her usual nap, Lee angrily stormed in their room: "He doused water on me, the bed was soaking wet! Lee also cussed me!"

But instead of Lee bolting the doors of their house, it was Pokwang who left.
Soon after, she found herself at a nearby hotel where she stayed for three days.
She continued, "It stressed me out that I bled. Good thing, my doctor said it didn't result in miscarriage."
Looking back, Pokwang confessed to Ogie that she's contemplating reporting that particular case to the VAWC (violation against women and children) desk.
Like anyone else perhaps, I can't help but inevitably ask this question: why on earth didn't Pokwang pursue the case when Lee was still here and not yet sent back to US?
What does she hope to achieve after her exposé? Will "recycling" an old story bring Pokwang anywhere close to justice?
Does the humorless comedienne know there's such a thing as scraping the bottom of the barrel?

One of the few most sought after leading men in many a romance drama, Aga Muhlach has learned to embrace the sordid truth that gone are the days.
Morning as he's fondly addressed attributes this to having put on so much avoirdupois "making him look bloated even thrice as big on the wide screen."
In the process, Aga entertained the idea of turning his back on showbiz "if I wouldn't consciously watch my weight!"
He excitedly points out, "I used to weigh 250 lbs, but thanks to diet and exercise I lost 45 lbs!"
Despite visibly bursting at the seams then, the in-demand actor couldn't help but be in awe of film producers still wanting to engage his services.
Now less heavy with a more radiant aura on the outside and healthier from within, Aga assures his fans he's here to stay.
When told however that his son Andres looks handsomer than him, the proud dad retorts: "Dapat lang (As the case should be)!"
