Pokwang explains why she will use comedy when judging on 'Stars on the Floor'
Pokwang is all set to bring in the laughs for her stint as a judge on 'Stars on the Floor.'
Although she is part of the panel of judges, also called the Dance Authority, everybody's favorite Mamang will bring her signature high-energy comedy to the show. At the series' grand media conference, Pokwang said her past experiences inspire her style of judging.
Pokwang started her career by participating in dance contests and as a professional dancer and choreographer.
'Dati rin po kasi akong kontesera. Nung bata po ako, duma-dance contest na 'ko. Ang unang tungtong ko po dito sa GMA, lumaban po ako ng dance contest sa 'Lunch Date,' the dubbed Star Comedienne of the Dance Floor said.
'Kontesera po ako so alam ko po 'yung pakiramdam ng ninenerbyos ka. Alam ko 'yung pakiramdam na kulang nalang mawala ka sa tinatayuan mo,' she added. 'Ako 'yung bilang balanse para mawala 'yung nerbyos ng mga [contestants].'
She added that the judges see the contestants' nerves and exhaustion.
'Kailangan naman natin balansehin. Tawa-tawa tayo,' Pokwang said.
As a judge, she is looking for a contestant's determination, eagerness, and ''yung hindi sila talaga matatakot harapin kung ano 'yung mga ibibigay sa kanila na genre.'
'Stars on the Floor,' dubbed the ultimate "COLLABanan ng Stars sa Sayawan" brings together personalities from entertainment and the digital world to pair up for a dance-collab competition.
The stars will take part in dance styles from hip-hop, contemporary, and ballroom to jazz, swing, disco, Latin, dancehall, and more, with the best choreographers in the Philippines to guide them.
The Celebrity Dance Stars are Glaiza de Castro, Rodjun Cruz, Faith da Silva, Thea Astley, and VXON Patrick. Meanwhile, the Digital Dance Stars are Zeus Collins, Dasuri Choi, JM Yrreverre, Kakai Almeda, and Joshua Decena.
Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera, the Star Comedienne of the Dance Floor Pokwang, and the Dance Trend Master Coach Jay Joseph Roncesvalles, are the show's judges, or the Dance Authority. It is hosted by Alden Richards.
'Stars on the Floor" premieres June 28 at 7:15 p.m. on GMA Network. It is directed by Miggy Tanchanco, Paolo Valenciano, and Johnny Manahan. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

Kylie Padilla admits it's painful to see fellow Sang'gres incomplete: 'I'm heartbroken every time I watch it'
Kylie Padilla admitted that it is painful for her to see her "Encantadia" sisters, Glaiza De Castro, Gabbi Garcia, and Sanya Lopez, incomplete because of her exit from the well-loved Kapuso series. In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, the Kapuso actress said their opening scene for "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" is "bittersweet." "Kasi siyempre I know my role in the whole series. Super ganda ng mangyayari kay Amihan, especially when it comes to the birth of the new Sang'gres. Kasama si Amihan do'n," she said. "But then, also sad, because, 'yon, patay pa rin si Amihan. She's still an Ivtre (spirit). So sad ako nga ako every time na I watch it and I see my three sisters nang wala si Amihan. I'm heartbroken every time I watch it," she added. She also looked back at the time when she had to exit the show after getting pregnant. "Sobrang pinaghirapan ko para lang magustuhan 'yung Amihan ko, 'yung version ni Amihan. And then, at the height, I got pregnant. It was unexpected. And I really didn't know how else to handle it," she said. Kylie acknowledged that her pregnancy may have shocked the project's creatives and writers on how they will adjust the story. "Sobrang malaking ano—not just regret, it's a huge—feeling ko kaya ko pang bumawi. Sana. 'Yun 'yung expectation ko dito. Dream kong mapanood kami ulit na kumpleto kami nang hindi patay si Amihan. Pambawi lang sa mga kapatid ko," she said. "It's really painful to see them not complete just because of me," Kylie said. Per Kylie, she and her "Encantadia" sisters never really talked about their reaction to her sudden pregnancy. "Siyempre kinongratulate. 'Congratulations. Happy for you,' ganiyan. Pero never namin napag-usapan 'yung how they felt after I left. Never. Siyempre ako din may fear ako na baka may disappointment," she said. "Sang'gre" is a spinoff of the iconic Kapuso fantaserye "Encantadia." It will introduce the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Terra (Bianca Umali), Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Deia (Angel Guardian). "Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
