Pokwang and Ella worked together in the ABS-CBN "fantaserye" (fantasy series) about mermaid “Aryana.” 

Ella received a lot of backlash from social media after her remarks. 

“History is like tsismis. It is filtered and dagdag na rin, so, hindi natin alam what is the real history. Andoon na iyong idea, pero may mga bias talaga. As long as we’re here alive at may kanya-kanyang opinion, I respect everyone’s opinion,” she was quoted as saying in a recent press conference for her new movie where she plays Irene Marcos.
