How Pokwang deals with ‘plastic’ people
Kapuso comedienne Pokwang is calling for respect and support among people in showbiz. “May paniniwala ang iba na ‘plastic’ (fake) daw ang showbiz. Pero hindi dapat ganun. Ang liit lang ng industriya namin. So dapat respeto sa isa’t isa or respeto sa mga decision or choices natin sa buhay. Hindi mo napapansin, kayo-kayo na rin ang mga magkakasama sa mga susunod na projects. So dapat walang plastikan,” said Pokwang when asked about how she deals with fake people in the industry, during the launch of her latest endorsement for Klio held in Quezon City last April 29.
Referring to her latest endorsement, Pokwang added: “Klio lang ang plastic!” Klio is a leading local manufacturer in the plastic food storage industry, providing quality and safe food keeper products.
Pokwang, 51, said that she’s a true testament of an endorser who values and uses the products she endorses.
“Ginagamit ko ang ‘Klio’ products sa pagluluto. Nilalagay ko dito ang mga pagkain namin. Alam naman ninyo na mahilig akong magluto. Yung malalaking lalagyan naman, nilalagay ko dun ang mga damit ko at ibang gamit para maganda ang presentation pagpunta ko sa shooting,” she said.
“Minsan may nakita akong artista. Endorser siya ng isang product. Sabi niya ginagamit daw niya yung isang product. Pero noong hindi na gumigiling yung camera, iba na ang ginagamit niya,” Pokwang revealed. She refused to identify the celebrity.
Aimee Lee, of Klio International Marketing Corporation, said: “From its humble beginnings in 1999, the company has worked tirelessly and relentlessly towards integrating consumer demand in the development of our product selections. With this at the heart of the company, Klio continues to aspire to become the No. 1 preferred food keeper brand in the country.”
