Pokwang claimed that connections have allowed her former partner, American actor Lee O’Brian, to stay in the Philippines despite the Bureau of Immigration’s (BI) deportation order against him for violating his work visa.
The comedian once again alluded to O’Brian by sharing a video about narcissistic parents via her Instagram page on Monday, Jan. 22.
One netizen under the username @princessaltheaaaaaa then took to the comments section to ask Pokwang, “Mamang, kailan ka ba hihilom?”, seemingly referring to the actress’ resentment toward O’Brian. (Mamang, when will you be healed?)
In response, Pokwang wrote: “Kapag wala na sa lupa ng Pinas ‘yan! May padrino daw e.” (When he’s no longer in the Philippines! He apparently has affiliation to people in position.)
She added that she is even inclined to report O’Brian to Sen. Raffy Tulfo, whose radio program caters to individuals with complaints.

Another netizen asked the comedian, “Hindi [pa ba] lumilipad?” (Hasn’t he flown out of the country yet?)
“Oo, may padrino pa nga. Kapal ng mukha!” Pokwang replied, vowing that she would get back at them and fight for Malia, her daughter with O’Brian. (Yes, he has connections. The audacity!)

Prior to this, O’Brian greeted his daughter on her 6th birthday and described the day of her birth as the “best moment of his life.”
Pokwang then accused the actor of “exploiting” their daughter on social media by claiming that he only acts as a good and responsible father to Malia.
