the darling in KC Concepcion

i'd like to start fresh with a new topic ... about someone more refreshing, true to her being and very down to earth. at least that is how i see this gal, KC Concepcion - the newest addition to pinoy showbiz tinseltown.

i watched her TV special on YouTube, KC from Paris to Pinas, and i must say i'm impressed with what i saw. i would best describe her simplicity, humour and humility as ace factors aside from being born to showbiz' popular parents, Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion.

there are, of course, quite a number of comments and observations right after this special - some good, others were critical - in both good and bad way. i read how one described KC's visit to her friend's charity for abused children as pathetic and patronising. well, i beg to disagree. while it's true that far too many celebrities use "charities" as a PR coup, i don't think KC did that for the sake of upping up her image to the filipino people. she did that in support of her friend - she made one and all aware of this charity's existence.

KC exhibited her own talents on this TV special ... her independence, her mind and spirit, her innermost thoughts and what her Paris experience has taught her - thank goodness not the hollow expectation of the filipino showbiz public to be "cute" in public, not "reinventing" herself to suit showbiz and its patronisers. it's sort of a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get"-attitude. i kinda like that.

yup, that's the darling in KC Concepcion. how all this will develop is another thing ... i hope she'll retain her sanity and intelligence in dealing with the crazy world of pinoy showbiz ...

what's up?

ruffa gutierrez faded away to oblivion? so, what happened to the RRRampa-charity? did the proceeds really went to the targetted beneficiary? i would love to see an audit ... i'd hate to hear someone to claim that the expenses are far greater than the amount collected in the auction. or are the proceeds likely to disappear into oblivion as well? just asking ...
