Pokwang received advice from the netizens to take Ruffa Gutierrez as a role model regarding forgiveness.
The Kapuso comedian went viral on social media recently after she pushed for the imposition of the deportation order against her former partner, Lee O’Brian, who was allegedly still in the Philippines despite being ordered to leave the country.
According to some netizens, Pokwang should reconsider her decisions and give Lee a chance to play his role as a father to their child, Malia.
“Word of advise lang. Be like Ruffa Gutierrez. Mas malala pa naging karanasan niya with Ylmaz but never nya nilason utak ng mga anak nya para magtanim ng galit sa kanilang tatay. Ruffa is living peacefully and happily now. Choose to be happy,” the netizen said.
However, Pokwang said that the heartache she received from her experience might differ from Ruffa’s.
“Well hindi ako si Ruffa, magkaiba kami sa itsura palang maganda sya malayo sobra, sa pangalan etc. So hindi pwedeng dapat ganito ka kasi ganito sya ok?” she said.
It can be recalled that Ruffa’s relationship with Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas in 2003 was compared to a fairytale by many fans.
Their marriage produced two daughters, Venice and Lorin Gutierrez.
Unfortunately, Ruffa’s marriage to Yilmaz became a nightmare after the businessman treated her badly.
Ruffa only managed to escape Turkey after being allegedly locked by Yilmaz inside a cabinet for 15 hours.
But after 15 years, Ruffa decided to let her daughters see Yilmaz in Turkey so the businessman could do his role as a parent.
