OGIE DIAZ – Social media lit up once again when Ogie Diaz joked about forming a “Republic of Quezon City” in response to the trending Mindanao independence talk.
Ogie Diaz has once again ignited conversation across social media after sharing a humorous take on the circulating idea of a so-called “Republic of Mindanao.” The comedian and talent manager offered a sarcastic perspective on the proposal, which has been making rounds online and prompting a mix of reactions from the public.
In a short message posted on his Instagram Stories, Diaz questioned the idea with the line, “Republic of Mindanao? Talaga ba?” The statement immediately set the tone for the playful commentary that followed. Leaning into satire, he suggested that if such a move were taken seriously, residents of Quezon City might also want their own separate identity.
Ogie Diaz underscored this joke with the remark “gawa na rin ng Republic of Quezon City,” adding a comedic twist to the ongoing discussions about regional division.
To push the humor further, Diaz quipped that forming individual republics could help avoid jealousy among regions, ending his message with “kung pwede, kanya-kanya na tayo.” His post also directly tagged Jimmy Bondoc and Kiko Barzaga, both of whom have been mentioned in conversations linked to Mindanao-related political topics.

Supporters pointed out that his humor served as a reminder not to take sensational proposals at face value. On the other hand, some used the opportunity to delve deeper into ongoing debates about governance, regional identity, and calls for autonomy.
Though Diaz did not expand further on his statement, his brief message demonstrated how influential public figures can shape discussions with just a few lines.
