From Kapamilaya to Kapuso…that’s what Gabby Concepcion did when he inked an exclusive contract on Aug. 17 with GMA Network, Inc.
During the contract signing, Gabby said he is very honored and excited about this new milestone in his career as a Kapuso, “I am very, very grateful. I think it’s going to be a good year. Malapit na ang birthday ko so this is really a good birthday gift. Definitely, we are doing other shows in GMA.”
The Kapuso actor headlined the hit primetime series Because of You with Carla Abellana and Rafael Rosell. He became a household name because of his role in the show where he was tagged for his onscreen moniker “Boss Yummy.”
Gabby happily announced that the network has already lined up projects for him, “Meron kaming gagawing comedy show. Pahinga muna tayo sa drama. Magpapatawa at magpapasaya muna tayo ngayon. Kaya tuloy-tuloy nila akong mapapanood after ng role ko as Boss Yummy.”
Atty. Felipe L Gozon said he is very happy that Gabby is joining GMA’s stable of stars because he is a brilliant actor, “Si Gabby matagal ng uma-appear sa ating mga shows at nakita naman natin na maganda ang pagtanggap ng manonood sa kanya maliban sa magaling na artista at gwapo pa, talagang asset si Gabby kahit saang TV station mapunta. Kaya tayo ay nagpapasalamat na napili na naman niya tayo.”
