DID GABBY CONCEPCION have second thoughts about accepting “The Mommy Returns” with Pokwang playing the role of his first wife? As one writer points out: “We all know kung sino yung mga babaeng na-link kay Gabby before, from Sharon Cuneta and Jenny Syquia to beauty queens like Anjanette Abayari and Dindi Gallardo. Para namang hindi niya magugustuhan si Pokwang in real life.”
But Gabby says he really thought of making a movie with Pokwang someday. “I first met her when they did shows sa U.S. noong di pa ako bumabalik dito,” he says. “Basta may concert ang Star Magic artists doon, sinasama nila ako so magkakilala na kami. Nagagalingan ako sa kanya kasi she sings and dances well, tapos ang galing ng comic rapport niya sa audience. Mabait din siya sa akin so I really don’t mind na we play husband and wife in ‘The Mommy Returns’. May kissing scene pa nga kami.”
