Gabby Concepcion: ‘This is the beginning of something good’

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

MANILA, Philippines – Coming straight from an out-of-town shoot, Gabby Concepcion was a bit late by the time he arrived on the set of “Sharon” for the taping of the show’s 2-part special episode with former wife Sharon Cuneta and daughter KC Concepcion last Monday.

It was the first time that the three of them were seen together in public, and the studio audience couldn’t help but scream with delight particularly when Gabby and Sharon would tease each other both on and off cam.

This was no doubt a big step for the former couple, who at one time wouldn’t even mention each other’s names during interviews.

“I enjoyed it also. I think this is the beginning of something good. Today’s special for all of us, the three of us, kasi nga it turned our lives around,” Gabby admitted in an interview with ABS-CBN’s entertainment reporters.

It didn’t come as a surprise to him when KC got emotional during the show because he knew how much his daughter wanted him and Sharon to be on good terms again.

“We were on the set when she started to cry. I felt that this was something for her, not only because we did a movie (I’ll Be There), but for me and Sharon to be together in front of her, that she hasn’t seen for many, many years. Kasi for more than 13 years na wala ako, actually more, mga 20 years na ata, hindi kami nag-uusap ni Sharon. But now that we’re all here in the Philippines and KC saw us together finally in the same show, it makes her really feel good that we’re already okay,” he said.

But when asked if it’s possible for him to do a movie with both KC and Sharon, Gabby explained that he’s not sure if such plans would push through anytime soon.

“That’s what I heard. Sinabi nga ni Sharon kanina sa show niya so nagulat din ako na merong ganoong move [or] speculations siguro. People ask me, wala naman ako masagot. It would be nice kasi maraming Sharon-Gabby [fans] ang nagtatanong kung pwedeng gumawa kami ng pelikula ulit. Sabi ko nga, ‘Yeah, it’s a nice dream pero we don’t know if it’s ever going to happen, so let’s see.’”

Meantime, Gabby can’t wait for the moviegoers to see his upcoming movie with KC, saying it will inspire a lot of parents who have lost touch with their children.

“Ang ganda ng feeling kasi magkasama kami sa iisang pelikula and we got the chance to bond as father and daughter both on and off cam. Parang gift na rin ito para kay KC because she really wanted to do a movie with her papa, so that’s really special for me. At the same time, we are hoping that it would touch people’s hearts kaya sana panoorin nila ito in time for Father’s Day celebration,” he beamed.

Star Cinema’s “I’ll Be There” will hit local theaters on June 19. -Report by Rachelle Siazon, ABS-CBN.com

Gabby Concepcion approves Piolo Pascual for his daughter

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Even though KC and Gagabbybby don’t get to see each other often, he was aware of the fact that Piolo Pascual has been courting his daughter. He was now open to answer the questions about that issue. “That’s old news e, kalat na kalat na ‘yan. Siyempre we will not deny that dahil alangan namang ako lang ang ‘di nakakaalam.” Gabby said. When he asked if he approves the match, he qickly reply Yes. Just like Sharon Cuneta who was vocal about wanting Piolo Pascual as KC’s future husband.  “Oo naman, mabait naman siya. Siyempre sino ba naman ang hindi dahil ang alam natin sa kanya okay siya. Sana nga yung friendship nila mas tumibay pa and I hope tuloy-tuloy yung friendship nila,” he replied.

But if he was giving his daughter an advice, Gabby stressed that she should not rush into anything that she’s not yet ready for.  “Sabi nga nila enjoy it while it lasts. But at the same time, be careful with your emotions. You have to control your emotions dahil baka ikaw lang ang masaktan. But whatever it is, siyempre nagkasama kayo because of circumstances, you have to be mature enough to accept what comes with that responsibility. So ganon lang, bumabalik ulit sa take it slow at saka think before you act.” Gabby said.

Gabby was relieved to know that KC recently assured Sharon that she has no plans to get married anytime soon even if her suitor or byfriend was the country’s ultimate hearthrob. “O ‘di good! Because I don’t want to be a young lolo!” he laughed. “Hindi… Basta’t masaya ang anak ko masaya na din ako. Hindi ko naman buhay ‘yan e. Ang importante lang siyempre kung saan siya masaya otherwise kapag mabigat ang dibdib niya mabigat din ang dibdib mo, ganun lang naman ‘yan,” he finally stated.

Gabby is a father, and has right to get involve in his daughter’s life. Specially when talking about KC’s suitors and about marriage. Atleast his open about what is going on to his daughter’s life. As long as he still become a father to KC, support, understand and love his daughter he can be a good father.

Gabby Concepcion eventually wants to find the “right” manager: PEP EXCLUSIVE (Part 2)

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Gabby Concepcion manages his own career for several months now.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) curiously asked if his “ex-manager” still has a say about the projects that come his way.

Gabby’s brief reply was, “I get phone calls, I get text messages.”

Aside from his television and movie projects, he’s busy with corporate shows, provincial tours and fiestas. And he’s the one who personally attends to most of the queries.

I think he should be looking for a manager right now because eventually when gets busy, its hard to find the right manager in such a hectic schedule. And also he  should be focused on his true craft, being an artist.

Gabby, Romnick buck “OA” acting fad

Monday, April 13th, 2009

gabby-and-romnickMANILA, Philippines- What’s going on? Why are we being assaulted by so many loud, livid and over-the-top performances on teleseryes and anthology drama shows these days? It’s like many of our actors and actresses have agreed to do their melodramatic worst.

Are we really to blame? Or could it be that directors are pushing them to go all-out with their florid, hysterical and OOA (Outrageously Overacting) portrayals, to keep viewers watching and thus, beat the competition?
