Actress KC Concepcion revealed she couldn't explain her feelings when she found that her parents, megastar Sharon Cuneta and her biological father Gabby Concepcion, are teaming up for the first time in a concert.

"Noong una kong narinig, nagkulong ako sa kwarto ko. Hindi ako nagpakita. Hindi talaga ako matawagan ng kahit sino. Hindi ko maintindihan yung napi-feel ko nun. First time yun. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang feeling. Maeexcite ba ako? Maiiyak ba ako? It's a show for other people but it's reali life for me. Excited ako pero nag-iisa lang akong anak. Ako lang talaga ang nakakaalam ng nararamdaman ko. Hindi n'yo ako ma gets kasi hindi naman kayo ang anak. Ako yung nag-iisang anak. Naghalo talaga yung feelings," said KC during an interview for the vlog of talent manager Ogie Diaz recently.

(When I first heard, I locked myself in my room. I didn't show up. No one could call me. I didn't understand what I was feeling. It was the first time. I didn't know what the feeling was. Would I be excited? Can I cry? It's a show for others but real life for me. I'm excited, but I'm an only child. I'm the only one who knows what I feel. You won't understand me because you're not the child. I'm an only child. The feelings are mixed.)

KC, 38, said she is still clueless about participating in the "Dear Heart" concert at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Oct. 27. "Dear Heart" is the title of Sharon and Gabby's first blockbuster movie together in 1981.

"Nagde-detox na nga ako ngayon para pagdating ko sa stage na if ever na isali man nila ako dyan, sobrang memorable s'ya.

(I'm detoxing right now so that it will be very memorable when I arrive on stage if they ever include me there.)

"Pangarap ko talaga makita yung nanay at tatay ko na magkaibigan pero yung hindi magkaaway at nakangiti, yung magkasundo. Hopefully yun ang mangyari sa concert.

(I dream of seeing my mom and dad getting along, not enemies, and smiling. Hopefully, that will happen at the concert.)

"Mas excited pa yung asawa ng papa ko. Sabi niya, are you excited?' Sabi ko, 'tita wag mo kong tanungin ngayon. Hindi pa ako ready.' But I'm ready now. Haharapin ko na ito," KC said.

(My dad's wife is even more excited. She said, 'Are you excited?' I said, 'Tita, don't ask me now. I'm not ready yet.' But I'm ready now. I'll face it.')

Sharon and Gabby got married in 1994. But they separated. Their marriage was annulled in 1994. Sharon is now married to Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan in 1996. They have two daughters, Frankie and Miel. They have an adopted son, Miguel. Gabby married Genevieve Gonzales in 2004 after the annulment of marriages to Sharon and Jenny Sequia.

KC has confirmed that she unfollowed her stepfather Kiko Pangilinan and stepsister Frankie, saying she just wants peace of mind. "I want to be happy." Although KC sometimes struggles to express her love for her mom, she still loves her very much.

"Kapag nakikita ko ang nanay ko umiiyak, hindi ako pwedeng umiyak. Kailangan ako yung strong. So meron din akong love sa mommy ko na hindi ko laging na-express. Sobra kaming magmahalan. Pero aminado rin naman kami na magkapareho kami in so many ways. And just like she said, may times na magkaiba rin kami. Pero okay kami. We love each other very much.

(When I see my mom crying, I can't cry. I need to be the strong one. So I also have a love for my mommy that I don't always express. We love each other so much. But we also admit that we are alike in so many ways. ways. And just like she said, there are times when we are different. But we are okay. We love each other very much.)

"Hindi ako mainggiting tao. Hindi ako perfect. Nobody's perfect. And I grew up with a family na naghiwalay. Very public yung buhay namin. Hindi siya simple kapag may something involved yung public.

(I'm not a jealous person. I'm not perfect. Nobody's perfect. I grew up with a family that got separated. Our life is very public. It's not simple when you're in the public eye.)

 

 

"Ang bonding namin ng mommy ko is work. Isasama niya ako sa concert niya. Pag-taping at recording niya sasama ako. Simpleng activities na hindi kasama ang ibang tao. Shopping. Hi, hello! Simpleng activities pero kapag ginagawa ni mama, wow! Big event sa akin. Normal lang sa iba yun. For me, kung ano yung normal sa ibang tao, yun ang special sa akin. Baliktad. But nobody's perfect. I wasn't born perfect. Ang importante nagmamahalan," KC said.

(The bonding between me and my mommy is work. She will take me to her concert. When she's taping and recording, I'll go with her. Simple activities that don't include other people. Shopping. Hi, hello! Simple activities, but when mom does it, wow! A significant event for me. That's normal for others. For me, what's typical for other people, that's special. But nobody's perfect. I wasn't born perfect. The important thing is to love each other.)
