Pokwang says no to 'Comedy Queen' title

MANILA, Philippines — Pokwang refuses to claim the title "Comedy Queen" despite her success in the box office.

"Hindi naman po ako 'yon, alam naman po natin kung sino si Comedy Queen," she said in a recent interview.

The title was first given to Ai Ai delas Alas, who is now with GMA network.

Pokwang is back to doing the comedy show "Banana Split" as it takes on its new format "Banana Sundae," which will start airing on November 15.

"Nag-guest po ako no'ng anniversary. Siguro na-miss nila ako and then kinausap ako if puwede ako bumalik," she said about being back in the show. "Siyempre sabi ko why not, tutal anak-anakan ko naman ang mga 'to."

"Nami-miss ko na rin mag-comedy din," she added. She has done several serious roles, such as in the recently concluded primetime series "Nathaniel."

Pokwang also stars in the Viva film "Wang Fam" which will be in cinemas on November 11.
