Ogie responds to accusations he ‘makes up lies’ about...

PAGE B3 and he hopes they will do the same, seemingly alluding to Soberano who he said he treats as his eldest child.

When asked if he was willing to talk to Soberano even after their public exchange of statements, Diaz answered, “Nanginginig pa ang lola mo na kausapin ka.” (I am trembling with eagerness to talk to you.)

“Ayoko naman tumawag sa kanya [kasi] baka hindi naman siya ready—’di ba sabi niya? Kung ready ka na, pwede mo na akong tawagan,” he told Soberano. “At hindi ko sinisira, anak, ang pangalan mo.” (I don’t want to call her because she might not be ready—she said so herself, right? Whenever you’re ready, you can call me. And I’m not tarnishing your name, my child.)

Diaz further addressed Soberano and wished her well in her endeavors.

“Sana lahat ng palabas namin dito nung mga nakaraan ay napapanood mo at kung paano namin siya i-deliver para mas maramdaman mo na sincere kami do’n sa sinasabi namin na mahal kita, na ako ay nagmamalasakit sa ‘yo,” he said.

(I hope you watch all our recent videos and see how we delivered them, so you would feel that [I am] sincere when I said I love you and that I care for you.)

“‘Wag mong kakalimutan na nandito lang naman ako. Open ang akin communication lines, anak,” he added. “Anak ko ‘yan kaya feeling ko ay lilipad pa ‘yan ng napakataas…. Mahal kita, anak.”

(Do not forget that I’m just here. My communication lines are open for you, my child. [Liza] is my child and I feel that she will soar higher. I love you, my child.) g
