Pokwang, binansagang Global Comedienne

LOOKS like wala nang maisip na titulong ikakapit kay Pokwang, in an instant ay bigla siyang binansagang Global Comedienne. Just because her lead role in Star Cinema’s Call Center Girl happens to be a BPO agent who converses with foreign clients, global na agad?

Pero depensa ni Enrico Santos, in fairness to Pokwang ay gumanap na rin naman siya ng isang OFW in also a Star Cinema offering na nauna munang ipinalabas sa Amerika before its local exhibition. Another thing, les the public forget, Pokwang was an OFW herself na isang Japayuki entertainer before she landed a job in showbiz.

Enrico adds na two years ago nang nabuo ang materyal na Call Center Girl which was originally a drama movie until it has now evolved into a hilarious comedy flick that also casts Jessy Mendiola and Enchong Dee. Special mention ang aming kumpareng si Ogie Diaz who plays Pokwang’s kasambahay.

Showing on November 27, bahagi pa rin ito ng 20th anniversary celebration ng Star Cinema under the helm of Don Cuaresma.
