I'm sure hindi nya mararating kung ano man sya ngayon if nag stay sya sa GMA7. Yung nakadiscover kay Liza inilapit kay Ogie Diaz pero that time may pinirmahang 1 year contract si Liza pero 1 week pa lang sya. At sa kontrata may 30 days sya para mag back out kaya naging posible.

As for the video, Diaz interviewed Mejia about his career and life. The conversation took a hilarious turn when Mejia jokingly discussed the “terms” of his contract signing with Diaz. The showbiz reporter refuted Mejia’s offer, jesting that the comedian was a demanding artist.
The video ended with Mejia putting up a condition for Diaz’s management with the showbiz reporter denying the possibility of signing with the comedian.
