KC Concepcion: A star in her own right

(4 votes, average: 4.50 out of 5)
KC ConcepcionMEGA daughter KC Concepcion might have been born to showbiz royalty parents but she didn’t hoist this birthright as a golden ticket to get ahead.

On the contrary, she went out on her own to get to know herself away from the limelight and enjoy life in relative anonymity in Paris, where she studied for four years.

Sharon did such a great job on this young lady.

She is one of the most beautiful and talented young stars to grace Philippine entertainment of late.

More importantly, KC is also an authentic role model.

Designated as the Philippines’ UN ambassador against hunger, KC walks the walk when it comes to sharing her blessings to those less fortunate than herself.

Her humanitarian involvement keep her busy just as much her showbiz commitments.

Her TV acting debut on Maalala Mo Kaya was another revelation. Knowing she is the daughter of actors Gabby and Sharon, it’s also as easy to recognize that she has a talent uniquely her own! Very poignant and mature for her age.

Kaya naman right now, I can consider KC as this generation’s "face that refreshes." Very photogenic/telegenic. The screen simply loves her!

I can still remember the last time I saw KC before she officially entered showbiz. Back then, she wasn’t as kikay. I fixed her hair during her mom’s US concert tour many years ago.

Today, she has truly lived up to her promise. A young talented actress with a best-selling record and one of the most sought-after product endorsers.

All the magazines want her to be on the cover.

Of course, her lovelife is just as colorful. She has been linked to the most dashing bachelors in tinsel town.

With each of these wholesome romances—rumored or true-to-life—we also can’t help but feel some kilig.

I guess through KC, we can live vicariously our youth back when it was full of limitless possibilities.
