Biography
Ogie Diaz was born as Roger Díaz Pandaan on 2 January 1970, Díaz is the sixth of eight siblings. His father was killed during a robbery in 1986 when Diaz was 16. Due to this tragedy, Diaz was not able to continue his higher education and focused on show business instead.
In 1987, Díaz began his career as an assistant to Cristy Fermin, who remains his close friend up to this date, at Mariposa Publications. In an interview, the latter revealed that he would beg loans from his neighbors for a transportation fare to arrive at Fermin's office at GMA Network. Diaz eventually became a writer during the early '90s; this provided him enough money as his family's breadwinner. Later in his career, Diaz tried his luck on talent managing and acting at ABS-CBN. Some of his notable former talent artists include actress Liza Soberano and comedian Vice Ganda.
Diaz met his partner Georgette del Rosario, who bore him five children. The couple are open members of the LGBT community. In 2017, Diaz published his book Pak! Humor about being a homosexual father.
In 24 Oras, May 2 interview, Atty. Jose Manalo Garcia and Shirley Kuan confirmed Bea Alonzo’s filing of 3 Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 complaints, including “false” reports of her alleged tax evasion at the Quezon City Prosecutors Office of Ana Fe Abad against Cristy Fermin, Diaz, online "Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update"-"Showbiz Now Na" co-hosts and an unnamed netizen.
