Gabby Concepcion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Arellano Concepcion, known as Gabby Concepcion, is a Filipino actor. Born on November 5,1963 in San Juan to Rolando Concepcion and Lourdes Arellano. Gabby was a prominent relative of Juan Arellano (National Artist for Architecture who built many landmarks in Manila like Metropolitan Theater, and the Post Office bldg), his great grandfather.

Gabby's rise to stardom began when he was appeared in a Close-Up commercial. That led him to become a moviestar as "Regal baby" with "Katorse" and earned him a Matinee idol status. He was also teamed up with megastar Sharon Cuneta (whom he later married in 1984 and lasted only a few years before their annulment) in a pre-Viva movie "Dear Heart" and Viva's first movie "P.S. I Love You" (which became a major success in Philippine cinema). Aside from Sharon, he also co-starred with big actors such as Christopher de Leon, Lorna Tolentino, Janice de Belen, Maricel Soriano, Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor in numerous films.

Gabby Concepcion's career however was much affected when he was involved in the 1994 Manila Filmfest Scandal, which Aiko Melendez (Maalaala Mo Kaya the Movie) was rightfully deserved for Best Actress award and not Ruffa Gutierrez (of "Loreta," which Gabby also starred) as originally announced.

Gabby left showbiz in 1995 and spent his life with his family in the United States, where he pursued a degree in Management Information Services at Lincoln University. In 2008, Gabby made a comeback to showbiz when he became one of the contract stars of ABS-CBN, where he stars with Claudine Barretto in a teleserye Iisa Pa Lamang.

Gabby has four children namely: Kristina Cassandra (popularly known as KC, a commercial model-actress and daughter to Sharon Cuneta); Gabrielle; Chloe (daughter to model-actress Jenny Syquia); and Samantha Alexis.
