Pokwang plays Igorot woman who fights for her dreams in "MMK"

May 23, 2019 AT 10:30 AM

Pokwang will once again show her acting prowess as she portrays an Igorot woman who breaks with tradition and fights for her dreams to have an abundant life in “MMK” this Saturday (May 25).
 
Growing up poor, Diana (Pokwang) desires to finish her studies to give her family a bright future. But her parents think otherwise, believing marrying a man from a family of farmers would give her a comfortable life.
 
This pushed Diana to leave her family and try her luck in Manila where she worked as a helper. Her employers instantly noticed her dedication and helped her finish college. She eventually landed a job in the municipal office, which helped her provide for her parents in the province.
 
She then met Victor, the man whom she fell for and became her husband. However, the man she thought would complete her life was also the one who would destroy her dreams for her family as Victor became an alcoholic and constantly hurt their children.
 
Will Diana be able to pull through from this obstacle?
