Ogie Diaz’s Friendly Reminder to Zack Tabudlo
OGIE DIAZ – The showbiz insider offered friendly advice to OPM singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo after netizens joked about his alleged body odor during his performance at the University of Santo Tomas’ Paskuhan 2025. Diaz suggested that Zack should accept the comments and take simple steps for future outdoor shows, such as freshening up or using perfume if he knows he might sweat, as audiences can be sensitive to smells.
The situation began when fan cam clips from Zack’s outdoor set circulated online, with some viewers jokingly saying he “may amoy.” Instead of getting upset, Zack responded with humor and honesty in a four-minute TikTok video. He explained that sweating is normal when performing under the sun and joked that his outfit, a fitted gray shirt, might have made it seem worse.
Zack reassured fans that he keeps himself clean and even promised to bring disinfecting spray to future shows. He also reminded everyone that sweating and making mistakes are human experiences, and that being kind to others is more important than making fun of minor things. His girlfriend Abby joined the video to humorously confirm that Zack smells fine, lightening the mood and adding humor to the situation.
The video quickly went viral, gaining over 280,000 views and thousands of reactions. Zack’s response demonstrated that he can handle jokes and criticism with humor, calmness, and maturity, turning a potentially awkward moment into a positive connection with his fans.
Zack was one of the main performers at this year’s UST Paskuhan, sharing the stage with popular OPM artists like BINI, Ben&Ben, Amiel Sol, and Rob Deniel. The incident stressed the challenges performers face during live outdoor shows, but Zack’s fun and polite reaction showed that even small jokes or criticism can be handled with positivity and charm.
