While a lot of entertainment reporters had been badgering Pokwang to air her side regarding Annabelle Rama and Ruffa Gutierrez' statements regarding her spoof of twins Richard and Raymond Gutierrez, Pokwang, as advised by her managers at Star Magic had chosen to remain quiet about the controversy.But in an interview with TV Patrol, the comedienne apologized to Annabelle and said that she had already asked for the spoof in question to be taken out.
The Gutierrezes had aired their sentiments about Pokwang’s skit which they felt made fun of Richard and Raymond. Ruffa even went so far as to say that what Pokwang has done is to hurt their family. "Wala namang laitan," Ruffa told reporters. Her mother Annabelle, who was also spoofed in Poohkwang, is okay with comedians impersonating her but not her kids, especially if they are "made fools of." "Okay lang ako ang laitin, huwag lang ang mga anak ko," the fiery Bisaya said.
On the other hand, people who have watched Poohkwang said that there was nothing offensive about Pokwang’s spoof.

Andrew de Real, writer/director of Poohkwang was quick to defend the show and Pokwang. "The show was a spoof and has no intention to assassinate any character," Andrew emphasized. Pokwang for her part has requested the production team of Poohkwang to remove the controversial spoof from the script.
