Talent manager and broadcaster Ogie Diaz can’t help but recall the feud between him and actor Jericho Rosales when he shared a memorable experience of him with the founder of ABS-CBN’s talent management arm Star Magic, Johnny Manahan also known as Mr. M.
In his “Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update” YouTube account, Mama Loi asked Ogie “anong pinaka naalala or fond memory mo about Mr. M.” To which Ogie answered “naalala ko nun Loi nung si Mr. M galit saakin. Nung 2005, nagkaruon ako ng afternoon show na ‘Thirty minutes everyday’ with Nina Corpuz yung showbiz number 1.”
According to Ogie, he commented on Jericho speaking in English. “parang nagsumbong yata si Jericho Rosales kay Mr. M na binabanatan ko daw siya… binabanatan ko daw si Jericho, so nakarating kay Mr. M…. nagbaba ng parang memo nuon o parang nagkaruon ng ‘silent ban’ saakin. Hindi ako binaban sa star magic, kumbaga hindi siya mag aallow ng kahit sino sa star magic talents na mag guest sa ano mang programang kinabibilangan ko.”
Ogie shared that ABS-CBN Film Productions’s writer and producer Enrico Santos called him to ask an apology because the show was affected. When given the chance, Ogie shared “sabe ko ‘sana ay wala na yun sayo. Yung ano, ano ko lang naman yun parang something like, kasi natutuwa lang ako kasi nag ienglish ka na.’ sabe ko lang ganun. ‘hayaan mo pag nagkita tayo yayakapin kita.’ Sabe ko sakaniya.”
“Hindi ako nag sorry Loi. Hindi ko talaga kaya. Eh totoo naman na umi-english siya eh. Anong dapat kong ikasorry? Hindi ako talaga nag sorry.” Ogie added.
When they finally met, Ogie shared “sabe k okay Jericho, ‘Echo sana okay na tayo.’ Biglang parang nag angat ng boses si Jericho na ‘ikaw naman kasi bakit mo ako ano, bakit mo ako tinitira. Anong kasalanan ko sayo?’ sabe ko ‘wala kang kasalanan, eh totoo namang umi-english ka na so sinabe ko lang nag ienglish ka na.’”
“from then on, ayun nag okay kame ni Jericho. And then pag nagkikita kame, para na kameng tropa. Nung okay na ako sa mga star magic artists, wala na yung show ko.” Ogie added.
