"Umagang Kay Showbiz" No More

Ogie Diaz will not be on Umagang Kay Ganda starting Monday, October 13, 2008. He was allegedly dismissed due to a violation he made due to a conflict between his principles and the management's Code of Ethics. The violation (which he didn't elaborate on - resulted into termination (non-renewal) of services. Ogie Diaz also stated that it was just his first violation and he wasn't given any warning or suspension that is normally the initial measure given to employees who goes against the company's policies. He was just made to say goodbye to the show - he didn't resign - since he also didn't have a contract.

Ogie still hosts "Talakan," a DZMM (ABS-CBN's AM station) radio show, so we can still hear him.

"Umagang Kay Showbiz" will surely be missed. After all, most of us just tune in to Umagang Kayganda because of the Ogie Diaz-hosted segment.
