Unknown to many, Ogie's family used to own the Rural Bank of Taal in Batangas. "When my grandmother passed away a long time ago, it was passed on, and then my mom, who is now 91 and she's still strong, sabi niya hindi na niya kaya so we sold the bank."
How was it growing up while their family owned a bank? "Ako po ay laking Manila so 'pag sasabihin ng nanay ko, 'Ogie, let's go to Taal. Let's go to the province.' Sabi ko, 'Mommy, it's too far.'
