Comedian Pokwang went viral on social media after she took her issue with former partner Lee O’Brian to another level after filing a deportation case against the American actor.
On June 14, Pokwang together with her lawyer Rafael Vicente Calinisan asked the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to deport Lee for allegedly not following the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940.
According to Pokwang, Lee made several jobs in the country despite only using a tourist visa.
She cited that Lee became cast in the movie “Sandwich” despite only being a tourist in the country.
Pokwang also cited the acts made by Lee, including his relationship with another woman that could affect the welfare of their daughter Malia.
“This caused me so much stress during my pregnancy that caused my admission to the hospital,” she said.
However, several netizens didn’t like what Pokwang did, saying that the comedian should just move on and let his former partner become happy, citing that they’re not married.
“Ayaw niya nakikita na masaya siya sa ibang kasama dipa yan naka move on di niya matanggap na pinagpalit siya,” netizen Melania said.
“Grabe nmn deportation tlga? E kung gusto Ng tao manirahan Jan… Subra subra namang ganti ito … Kung hnd ka mahal Ng tao at nasaktan ka tanggapin nlng TAs move on,” netizen Tisay commented.
However, some people still supported Pokwang, saying that people should also understand the feelings of the comedian.
“Hindi natin alam ang buong istorya nila kaya wag tayo mag judge, hindi naman cguro gagawin yan ni pokwang kung walang mas malalim na dahilan lalo’t may anak sila. Respect nalang natin ang disisyon nya lalo na kung wala naman tayong alam at maitutulong sa buhay nila.” netizen Rachell remarked.
