WHY are we not surprised when Liza Soberano bolted out from Ogie Diaz’s management?
It is simply because she’s ambitious and impatient. And it’s a case of history repeating itself.
Noong mina-manage pa siya ng kanyang discoverer na si Dudu Unay, she was already impatient.
Nababagalan siya sa career niya kaya naman ang ginawa ni Dudu ay inilapit ito kay Ogie. Ang ending? Si Ogie na ang naging manager ni Liza habang si Dudu ay naging road manager na lang.
Imagine, ‘yung naka-discover sa iyo, ginawa mo na lang road manager mo? If you look back, Liza spotted Dudu Unay on Facebook. Doon sila nagkakilala until ginawang artist ani Dudu si Liza.
Simula noon, milyones na ang kinita ni Liza under Ogie’s management. Projects here and there, shows and commercials here and there. In no time, naging milyonarya si Liza, and of course, si Ogie.
Nakabili si Liza ng bahay worth P17 million. Si Ogie ay bumili ng mga lote at pinagawan ng bahay na of course, milyones ang halaga.
And what about Dudu? Well, until now ay wala pa siyang bahay na nagkakahalaga ng milyones considering na siya ang naka-discover kay Liza, ha!
One time, Liza earned P10 million sa kanyang commercial. Thirty percent ang commission ni Ogie. Now, do the Math.
Mabait naman itong si Ogie. Binigyan niya ng P250,000 si Dudu para pang-down sa kanyang brand new car.
Just recently, fully paid na ang car ni Dudu. It took him five years para makumpleto ang pagbabayad sa kanyang kotse.
In no time at all, naisip ni Liza na gusto niyang magka-career sa Hollywood. With this, hindi na siya pumirma ng panibagong kontrata kay Ogie. Bagkus, nagpa-manage siya kay James Reid.
This is history repeating itself. Noong una, iniwan niya ang discoverer-manager niyang si Dudu Unay. Now, nilayasan naman niya ang manager niyang si Ogie.
Frankly, hindi naman Hollywood material si Liza. Wala pa nga yata siyang acting award. Wala siya sa kalingkingan nina Kathryn Bernardo at Nadine Lustre na meron ng award, if I am not mistaken, ha.
