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 former talent artists include actress Liza Soberano and comedian Vice Ganda.[5][6]
