Roger Diaz Marites Pandaan (born January 2, 1970), known professionally as Ogie Diaz (Tagalog: [ˈɔdʒi ˈdɪas]), is a Filipino comedian, actor, entertainment reporter, and talent manager. He is popularly known as "Pekto", the name of his character in the long-running former television show Palibhasa Lalake.
Biography[edit]
Born on 2 January 1970, Díaz is the sixth of eight siblings. His father was killed during a robbery in 1986 when Diaz was 16.[1] Due to this tragedy, Diaz was not able to continue his higher education and focused on show business instead.[2]
In 1987, Díaz began his career as an assistant to Cristy Fermin, who remains his close friend up to this date, at Mariposa Publications.[3] In an interview, the latter revealed that he would beg loans from his neighbors for a transportation fare to arrive at Fermin's office at GMA Network.[4] Diaz eventually became a writer during the early '90s; this provided him enough money as his family's breadwinner. Later in his career, Diaz tried his luck on talent managing and acting at ABS-CBN. Some of his notable former talent artists include actress Liza Soberano and comedian Vice Ganda.[5][6]
Diaz met his partner Georgette del Rosario, who bore him five children. The couple are open members of the LGBT community.[7] In 2017, Diaz published his book Pak! Humor about being a homosexual father.[8]
