KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual now ‘more than civil’

TIME heals all wounds, they say.  This is pretty much true for ex-lovers KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual, especially after their controversial breakup in 2011.  For years, the two never talked and probably avoided each other like the plague.

But the showbiz industry is a small world, and most likely, you will run into people you don’t want to see or talk to, especially if you work for the same network.  For KC and Piolo, it was the ASAP show in London that made them patch things up between them.

The trip to London gave them the chance to do some bonding time, and probably set aside all the hurt feelings of the past.  In fact, one proof that all is well with the two is an Instagram post by singer Erik Santos, who was with them in the show.  The photo included the hashtag, “#lahatngsugatnaghihilom.”

Another photo uploaded by PR and Media Relations man Eric John Salut showed KC and Piolo all sweet and friendly.

Let’s hope that KC and Piolo have really mended and forgiven each other.  As they say, there are no permanent friends and/or enemies in show business.

It was the first death anniversary of the late actor, Mark Gil, last September 1 and Michael de Mesa admits that he still hasn’t fully accepted the reality that his brother is gone.

Mark died last year due to liver cirrhosis.

For Mark’s first death anniversary, the whole family had a simple get-together at Cheri Gil’s condominium and they are also planning for another gathering for the late actor’s birthday on September 25.

“So I really miss him, I miss everything about him, and I miss the totality of him, who Ralph (Mark’s real name) was and who Ralph is,” he shared.

For now, one of the things that make the pain of longing for his brother temporarily is his work.  Michael is part of GMA 7’s upcoming afternoon series, Destiny Rose, a show that will tackle the life of a transgender played by young actor Ken Chan.

The veteran actor is among the most admired stars in the country for his portrayal of gay roles; his most recent was in the musical “La Cage Aux Folles,” where he played Georges, the lover of drag queen Albin, played by Audie Gemora.

Destiny Rose also stars Fabio Ide, Manilyn Reynes, Jackie Lou Blanco, Joko Diaz, Irma Adlawan, Katrina Halili, Sheena Halili, JC Tiuseco, Jeric Gonzales, and Ken Flores.
