Hanggang 20% lang po kami… It’s not true at all. I was only getting 20%,&quot; he said in his vlog.</p><p>In the vlog he posted on March 3, Friday, Ogie&#x27;s co-host Mama Loi Villarama revealed that Ogie was supposed to get a 30% commission as stated in his contract with Liza but the talent manager decided to lower it.</p><p>&quot;Totoo na ‘yung kay Liza, [30%] ‘yon pero ako na ang lumabag sa sarili kong kontrata kasi makikita mo naman talaga ‘yung sipag nung bata,&quot; Ogie said.</p><p>He added: &quot;Makikita mo talaga kay Liza [na] gusto niyang mag-excel at ma-achieve ‘yung goal niya maging artista.&quot;</p><p>Ogie added that he wanted for Liza to save money.</p><p>&quot;Hindi ako naawa kundi sabi ko, ‘Deserve ng bata ‘to [kaya] 20% na lang. So ako rin ang lumabag sa kontrata na ako ang gumawa para lang makapag-ipon ‘yung bata,&quot; he stated.</p><p>The talent manager also shared that he even waived his fee when he offered the Filipino adaptation of the hit K-Drama <em>It&#x27;s Okay to Not Be Okay</em> to Liza last year.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko na lang [tanggapin niya ‘yon] kasi gusto kong makita siya ng mga fans na lang talaga. Hindi na ‘yon pera-pera,&quot; he highlighted.</p><div><iframe width="789" height="444" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3LrUNnaR7gY" title="OGIE DIAZ, MAY LILINAWIN TUNGKOL SA KOMISYON KINA LIZA SOBERANO AT VICE GANDA!🔴DAVID LICAUCO,VIRAL!" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Liza made headlines recently after she posted a YouTube vlog on February 26, wherein she shared her thoughts about her journey with ABS-CBN as an actress.</p><p>In the said vlog, Liza claimed: &quot;During all those years, I was never really asked for my input, my thoughts, my ideas. I felt like I was being told to be just a flower for so long.&quot;</p><p>She added: &quot;I think that I&#x27;ve earned the right to finally be me, to finally be able to do things for me as Hope Soberano (referring to her real name).&quot;</p><p>Following Liza&#x27;s claims, Ogie posted a vlog wherein he shared advice and reminders for Liza.</p><p>&quot;Kung sinasabi ni Liza na parang kinokontrol siya ng mga tao sa paligid niya—kung ako man yan at ang Star Magic—gusto kong magpasalamat kay Liza kasi sinunod niya kami. Kaya siguro sumikat siya,&quot; Ogie said in a vlog he posted on February 27.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/B65QxO0lb3S/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=511&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A10478564.600000001%2C%22ls%22%3A6779042.4%2C%22le%22%3A6779422.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="717" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>He added: &quot;Imagine-in ninyo ha? Kung walang nangyari sa career ni Liza noong hawak ko siya at ng Star Magic, malamang, iba ang narrative niya ngayon. At least, okay na yan.
