KC Concepcion Offers Birthday Drama Special to Her Fans

Almost a month after showbiz royalty KC Concepcion exclusively told abs-cbnnews.com about a month-long birthday offering for her fans, she confirmed that she will have a television drama special entitled "I AM KC" in April.

"Generally mayroon kaming hiningi from ABS-CBN kung pwede mag-birthday offering, kasi sayang naman kung wala kaming offering sa audience, sa tao kasi birthday ko April 27, so ang ginawa ng ABS-CBN binigyan kami ng apat na iba-ibang genre for Saturday drama. So each weekend for four consecutive weeks starting March 29 may isang drama or comedy or fantasy na magaganap," Concepcion told the weekly entertainment show "The Buzz."


KC, Maria Kristina Cassandra Concepcion in real life, is the daughter of Megastar Sharon Cuneta and former actor Gabby Concepcion.

During her first taping day, Concepcion shared some details of the special's pilot episode.

"Ang title niya Binibini, isang babaeng parang palengkera na laging sumasali sa mga beauty contest, beauty pageant nandoon ang nanay niya. May mga surprises sa buhay nila na hindi nila ini-expect at doon mangyayari iyong drama na nandoon sa comedy," she said.

To make her drama series more special, Concepcion will be joined by comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas for the first episode, which will be directed by Wenn Deremas.

"Natutuwa nga ako kasi kasama namin dito si Ms. Ai-Ai, who is my super idol kasi super favorite ko ang movies niya especially with Direct Wenn. So iyong makasama ko si Direct Wenn at si Ms. Ai air tapos nanay ko pa sobra, first time ko ding mag-comedy kasi," Concepcion said.

In "I AM KC", the new actress will be working with different actors since the episodes will be of different genres.

"Sa comedy si Ms. Ai-Ai, then may fantasy since pambata si [Makisig Morales] ang kasama namin (pero) hindi ko panama-meet. May isang musical kasama namin si Vhong Navarro. Iyong sa light romance hindi pa confirmed at naghahanap pa ng cast for that," she revealed.

Concepcion said her inspiration to do the project is her love of her fans and supporters.

"Marami akong natutunanan at sila talaga ang nagbibigay sa akin ng inspiration, ng energy para gawin lahat ito. Dahil kung wala din pong nanonood eh ano pa ang work namin so sila din po ang reason kung bakit ko naisip at napagdesisyunan kong pumasok talaga kasi kung wala, sila walang sense ang trabaho ko."

In the interview with "The Buzz", KC Concepcion also spoke on the controversy regarding her decision to wear a bikini and pose for the summer campaign of a clothing line she endorses.

"Basta inisip ko na lang okey, I am in my 20s, kung di ko gawin ang bikini shoots ngayon kailan pa at saka hindi ko talaga inisip na magagawa ko ang shoots na iyon. Anyway nasa beach naman kami and any woman should be proud of her body, I'm very happy na nagawa ko na iyon," she said.

But on matters of the heart, KC Concepcion chose to keep mum.

When asked about rumors that actor Richard Gutierrez is wooing her, she replied, "No comment, no comment talaga. Basta kung ano na lang ang sinabi niya doon sa ibang shows, iyon na lang po iyon. Kasi pareho kaming busy talaga and although, sobrang bait niya talaga at hindi siya papayag na malimutan siya. Iyon na lang ang masasabi ko kung ikaw iyong babaeng iyon talagang hindi mo makakalimutan sinisiguro niya iyon kahit wala siya dito."

Aside from her acting stints, Concepcion will also be busy with her commitments as UN ambassador, which includes visits to Mindanao.

Concepcion was appointed by the United Nations as the World Food Programme Ambassador in the country.
