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.
