Talent manager and entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz recently took to social media to share an interesting encounter.
According to his tweet, he received an invitation from what he humorously referred to as an “awarding ek-ek,” possibly alluding to an awarding body or organization.
What makes this story intriguing is Ogie’s disclosure that he was offered a title in connection with this awarding event.
However, his curiosity led him to inquire about the list of awardees, and to his surprise, he found that most of the names on the list were unfamiliar to him.
In light of this revelation, Ogie Diaz decided to decline the invitation. His reason for doing so was rather straightforward: he mentioned that he is currently occupied with other commitments.
“Inalok na din ako ng isang awarding ek-ek. Kung join ako, iisipan ako ng title. I asked kung sino-sino ang awardees. Ayun. Wa ko knows yung karamihan. I declined. Sabi ko na lang, busy ako masyado.”
