Ogie Diaz spoke on whether he is still interested in managing Liza Soberano, his former talent.
Before making a choice, Ogie stated he would first take Liza’s wishes into account in an interview with the Rated R: The Rico Hizon Podcast.
Ogie went on to say that they would need to talk about Liza’s career path if she approached him about collaborating once more. “[I will tell her] kung gusto mo anak, ito pag-uusapan natin. Ito dapat ang baguhin natin, ito dapat ang manatili sa’yo ‘yung hinahanap-hanap nila ng mga fans mo sa’yo dapat ibalik mo, dahil sila rin ang dahilan kung bakit ka sumikat, mga ganyan. Alam ko naman na makakabalik si Liza, kahit hindi ako manager niya,” he said.
He also said he supported Liza’s aspirations to succeed in Hollywood. “Sinabi ko rin sa kanya ‘yan na support ako dun sa kanyang Hollywood dream kasi gusto talaga niya ma-penetrate ang Hollywood… Mukhang lang niya ang ganda-ganda, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nagbabago, ang ganda pa rin ni Liza, di ba?” he said.
“Biglaan dapat, ‘yung aksidente lang na nagkita kami, iyon ‘yung genuine para sa akin eh kasi ‘pag nagkikitata kayo, ‘Magkita tayo,’ siyempre aaralin mo na kung anong sasabihin mo, anong iku-kwento mo. Ito kapag biglaan mas raw,” Ogie said in response to a question about his ideal scenario to see Liza again.
After their talent management partnership concluded in 2022, Ogie and Liza had not communicated for three years until January of this year.
The conversation occurred when he tagged Liza in a January 4 birthday message he sent on Instagram Stories, the television host disclosed in a recent episode of Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update.
The host stated that he hoped to speak with Liza face-to-face once more in the future.
There were no lingering animosities between them, he continued, based on their previous internet exchange. “Natuwa ako. Para mag-message ng ganun si Liza so wala siyang sama ng loob sa akin. Ako rin naman nung minessage ko siya, ay hindi wala na. Ang tatanda na namin, hindi ba? Kumbaga, ano ‘yun magtatanim ka ba ng sama ng loob? Once upon a time, naging anak mo ‘yan. Nabigyan ka rin naman ng magandang career because of Liza,” he stated.
