Talk show host and vlogger Ogie Diaz revealed why he was not in the ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID for 2020.
On his YouTube Channel, Diaz confirmed the real reason for his absence from the long-standing tradition of the media giant.
Firstly, Diaz said that the Christmas Station ID isn’t a measure of his love for ABS-CBN. He also acknowledged how the media giant helped his family and his career.
“Alam nyo ang pagmamahal ko sa ABS-CBN, ay hindi pwedeng tumbasan ng Christmas Station ID lamang.
“Ang ABS-CBN napakalaking bahagi ng buhay ko. Kung bakit na-ingat ko ang antas ng aking pamilya sa kahirapan ng buhay,” said Diaz.
He also added that he won’t abandon the network, especially now that ABS-CBN is struggling after the shutdown. Diaz also affirmed that he remains a Kapamilya.
“Kaya mahal na mahal ko ang ABS-CBN. Sobrang mahal ko ang ABS-CBN. Kaya sa panahon na ito na dapang dapa ang ABS-CBN hindi ko sila iiwan. Mananatili akong isang Kapamilya,” said Diaz.
After that, he added that he declined the projects offered to him due to the lock-in filming entailed by new upcoming projects. Diaz said that he couldn’t bear not seeing his family.
“Syempre ayaw ko naman rin kasing Ma-Lock-in. Ayaw kong Ma-Lock-in. Inalok na rin ako ng iba. Pero sabi ko, lock-in di ko kayang ma-lock-in. Di ko kayang di ko makita yung mag-iina. Di ko talaga kaya. So sobrang nag-vlovlogging na lang ako ngayon para lang alam mo yun mapalitan yung mga tinanggihan ko mga shows. Pero di ko pa rin iiwan ang ABS-CBN,” said Diaz.
