“Kung ang I’ll Be There ay isang regalo, ito na ang pinakamagandang regalong naibigay sa akin ng kahit na sino,” Gabby Concepcion shared during the press conference of his upcoming movie with daughter KC Concepcion. Gabby still couldn’t believe that he was given the chance to spend days taping with his daughter. “Maraming makaka-relate sa movie na ito dahil alam rin naman ng mga tao ‘yung naging buhay namin ni KC. Matagal kaming hindi nagkita at ‘yung movie may element na ganun. Curious ang mga tao kung ano ang mangyayari sa pelikula,” he added.
In I’ll Be There, Gabby and KC play father and child who grow estranged from each other. Following Gabby’s split from Sharon Cuneta, he spent less time with KC, especially when he lived in the US for 13 years. But according to Gabby, he managed to keep a healthy relationship with his daughter. This was why Gabby was deeply affected when they were shooting some of the dramatic confrontation scenes in I’ll Be There. “Masakit pala na pinagsasabihan ka ng hindi maganda ng anak mo. Siyempre sa ganung sitwasyon defenseless ka. Hindi mo alam ‘yung mga nangyayari sa kanya ng mga panahong ‘yun. Pero wala namang ganung nangyari sa amin ni KC sa tunay na buhay. The story is not actually our lives, but the emotions are real.”
Gabby further shared how very proud he is to see his daughter grow up into a fine lady. “Maraming traits ang nagbabago sa isang tao every year, every five years. Pero ang nagustuhan kong ugali niya na nandun pa rin e ‘yung pagiging mabait niyang bata. May mga bata kasing pilyo, paglaki mapapansin mong may ugaling hindi mo gusto. Siyempre anak ko ito, hindi mo maiaalis ‘yung pagka-bias mo. Pero napapansin ko talaga na honest siya.
“Nung eight years old yata siya, nakabasag siya ng paso sa bahay ng mommy niya. Takot na takot siya at hindi niya alam ‘yung gagawin niya. Ang sabi ko, ‘Don’t worry hindi ko sasabihin sa mommy mo.’ Pero sabi niya kailangan niyang sabihin ‘yung totoo. Kinuha niya ‘yung basag na paso at tumakbo siya sa mommy niya para magsabi.”
Even while he was still living in the US during the time when KC started out in showbiz, Gabby would see on TV that his daughter was raised very well. “Nung lumaki siya, napapanood ko siya sa interviews niya sa TV, hindi naman lumaki ulo ang niya. Ganun pa rin siya. Mabait pa rin and as a father I’m very proud of that.”
