Ogie Diaz wants aspiring talents to undergo psychiatric evaluation

Published Mar 15, 2023 04:20 am
Ogie Diaz took to social media recently to air a suggestion to fellow talent managers. On Facebook, he wrote: "Isa-suggest ko sa mga talent managers ito: bago tumanggap o tanggapin ang napupusuang talent, dapat, ipa-undergo sa psychiatric evaluation ang bata." "Kasi nga, ang mga teenagers ngayon, as in bata pa lang, meron nang mga mental health issues. Para din alam ng talent manager kung paano ia-address properly at iha-handle ang behavior or attitude problem ng talent," he added. Then he went on to talk about provisions that he believes should now be included in a standard contract. "Isama na sa kontrata yung kada project na gagawin, kailangan, papirmahin ang bata at magulang (kung minor pa ang kanilang anak) na tinanggap nila nang buong puso at excited silang gawin ito. Na alam nilang makakatulong ang project na yon sa ikauunlad ng kanyang career na hindi nila alam kung paano patakbuhin, kaya kinuha ang expertise mo bilang manager. Para pag nagkabaligtaran, 'Ayan, o! Pinirmahan mo na happy ka doing the project.'"

And if the talent doesn’t want the presence of his road manager, his own personal assistant shall be present from start to finish for the scheduled work or commitment.'" He also noted the need for all moves and decisions be agreed upon by both parties. "Hindi surprise para hindi nagkakabiglaan," he related. Ogie also added: "Ipagpapaalam ng talent ang lahat ng moves niya na pwedeng makaapekto sa kanyang career para hindi nangyayari na mag-damage control ang manager sa kag\*gahan at kag\*guhang ginawa ng talent." He reiterated how the work of a talent manager is not easy. "Akala ng iba, kubra lang nang kubra ng komisyon ang manager, pero hindi alam ng mga nagmamarunong kung gaano kahirap maging manager," he said. "Para kang nag-iri ng sanggol, hanggang paglaki niyan, sa ‘yo yan aasa. Ikaw ang takbuhan niyan pag me problema silang personal kahit di na sakop ng trabaho mo yon bilang manager."

"And worse—kasama na sa trabaho ng manager ang maging demonyo, manatili lang anghel sa mata ng publiko ang kanilang talent." Ogie revealed more and more people are asking him to manage their showbiz careers. "Ewan ko kumbakit, pero maraming salamat sa confidence nyo sa akin. Pero mellow muna po ako, dahil busy po sa ibang bagay na less sakit ng ulo," he said about it. Ogie maintained in the comment section: "Ilang bagets na nakakausap ko para magpa-manage, parang iba ang dating ng kanilang vision and mindset, saka iba yung dating. Kaya inaaral ko pa sila. Para makasabay ako sa henerasyon ngayon. Hindi kaya lumang tao lang talaga ako? Hahaha!" Many believe that Ogie's lengthy post pertains to former ward Liza Soberano. Recall that the 25-year-old star recently spilled tea regarding Ogie's "commission" from her as talent.
