Biography

Born on 2 January 1970, Díaz was the sixth of eight siblings. His father was killed during a robbery in 1986 when Diaz was 16.[1] Due to this tragedy, Diaz was not able to continue his higher education and focused on show business instead.[2]

In 1987, Díaz began his career as an assistant to Cristy Fermin, who remains his close friend up to this date, at Mariposa Publications.[3] In an interview, the latter revealed that he would beg loans from his neighbors for a transportation fare to arrive at Fermin's office at GMA Network.[4] Diaz eventually became a writer during the early '90s; this provided him enough money as his family's breadwinner. Later in his career, Diaz tried his luck on talent managing and acting at ABS-CBN. Some of his notable talent artists include actress Liza Soberano and formerly comedian Vice Ganda.[5]

Diaz met his partner Georgette del Rosario, who bore him five children. The couple are open members of the LGBT community.[6] In 2017, Diaz published his book Pak! Humor about being a homosexual father.[7]
