In the wake of Bea Alonzo's cyber libel case against him, along with Cristy Fermin and others, entertainment personality Ogie Diaz took to his Instagram story to address the issue head-on. Diaz, known for his candid commentary on showbiz matters, expressed understanding towards reporters striving for balanced reporting amidst the frenzy. He acknowledged the pressures faced by news desks and editors but refused to sugarcoat his sentiments.

In his statement, Diaz asserted, "Pasensya na sa lahat ng reporters na tumatawag para maging balanse lang ang kanilang report. Naiintindihan ko kayo kung nginangarag kayo ng news desk o ng editors nyo. Makakarating din naman sa amin yan para sagutin sa takdang panahon. Pero eto ha? Ayoko nang magpakaplastik."

Referencing his popular YouTube show, "Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update," Diaz reiterated his stance with his trademark humor, quipping, "Tulad ng lagi naming hinihirit sa Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update, sila pa rin ang gusto naming magkatuluyan sa ending."

With this candid statement, Ogie Diaz made it clear that he will not shy away from expressing his opinions, as it will mount to legal challenges, emphasizing authenticity over pretense.
