Aside from mapping the career of the artist and coordinating with people to get new projects and endorsements, Ogie shared that a talent manager also has to fulfill the role of being a second parent and friend to the artist.

Ogie said that a talent manager helps his talents deal with personal and private issues for free. A talent manager also has to find ways to resolve troubles and disputes that the artist gets into, Ogie explained.

“Akala n’yo, madaling mag-manage ng talents? Ay, hindi po. Apakahirap. Para kang buntis. Binubuo mo pa lang sa iyong sinapupunan, iniisip mo na ang future niya.

“Hindi ka lang basta manager — nanay, tatay, kapatid, kaibigan ka din nila. Ibig sabihin, pati personal nilang buhay, kailangan mong gabayan — nang walang komisyon. Nang labas na sa trabaho mo bilang talent manager.

“Pag napapa-trouble sila sa labas, kailangan ka nila. Di pwedeng di mo sila samahan kahit wala ka namang kinalaman. Pag nasasangkot sila sa isyu na sila rin ang may gawa, dahil manager ka, troubleshooter ka din.

“Akala ng ibang mga mema, kuha lang nang kuha ng komisyon ang talent manager.

“Hoy, ano’ng feeling nyo? Kakakilala ko lang sa talent ngayon, gusto nyo, sikat na siya next week? Gusto nyo, pag-iri ko sa sanggol ngayon, Grade 6 na siya next week?

“Eh, kung ganun pala gusto nyo at marunong pa kayo sa manager, ba’t hindi kayo ang mag-manage? Ang dami nyo palang alam,” Ogie wrote.
