Kaya dun nila nare-realize na kaya pala mahal ang artista kasi kinakabisa nila lines, pati gestures nila, nuances nila lahat ibibigay nila ng nakakalimutan nila 'yung totong personalidad nila dahil naka-in character sila, so ganyan 'yung mga tinuturo namin dito," he saud.

Asked on what are the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Ogie shared: "Unang-una, dapat gusto ng puso mo. Dapat 'yung trabahong papasukin mo o 'yung negosyong itatayo mo dapat hindi ito magiging stress sa'yo bagkos siya 'yung makakapagpasaya sa'yo. Di ba, kumita ka na, naging masaya ka pa."

He also highlighted that one needs to learn to balance work and personal life.

"Siyempre importante din na magkaroon ka ng oras para sa sarili mo, para sa pamilya mo. Dapat hindi maaagaw ng negosyo 'yung oras mo para sa pamilya mo at lalo na at higit para sa sarili mo. Importante pa ring maging masaya 'yung personal mong buhay," he said.
