Inheriting both halves of her famous family’s cinematic legacy,
the budding theater actress KC Concepcion demonstrated a
captivating flair for performing and exuding an angel faced
aura much to the fondness of the intriguing public.
Being an actress is truly on her bloodline and
there’s no stopping the prevalent veneration
for this “PYT” pretty young talent.
The daughter of megastar Sharon Cuneta and once matinee
idol Gabby Concepcion, KRISTINA CASSANDRA CUNETA
CONCEPCION simply known as KC , was born in Manila
, on April 7, 1985 weighing so fragile at 5.2 lbs..
Her name coalesces from her mom’s choice of the name
Kristina and from dad’s attachment to the classic movie
“Cassandra Crossing “ thus evoking a beautiful and
seemingly immortal name Kristina Cassandra. An Arian
herself, which has a fire element of assertiveness and
instinctive identity as well as spontaneity, KC however
do not seemingly emanate this early the will of Aries which
is tension and passion but instead just want to be just any ordinary
girl who have different sides to everyone.
Her childhood was a dreamworld having sired with a backdrop of
fame, fortune and fanaticism, thanks however to her mom’s stanch
guidance that she grew up just like any other silver-spooned
benevolent child. Until the poignant part of a fairy tale came
when her parents parted for good, that they were the focal point
of public sympathy. We reminisce the little KC on moments such as
when she stood nonchalantly on her mom’s side while we listen to
Sharon’s rendering that Christmas song “Pasko na Sinta Ko” on a
TV show or that cute tissue giver at her mom’s frequent sobs on her
live concerts., or that delightful grin which is a dead ringer of
her dad’s charming look whenever her mom greets her daughter among
the live TV audience.
As the world turns, her life too has full of promises and
transformations given a surrogate father that is Francis “Kiko”
Pangilinan, her mom’s new found love and a baby sister Simone
Francesca Emmanuelle.
She values her family more than ever and she constantly speaks of
love and affection towards them. In fact her relationship with her
mom is more than just the usual mother-daughter bonding but more
than that of profound friendship.
Now comes the exciting part of her life, her teenage years.
Her mother both fostered and resisted the notion of her photogenic
daughter’s lure from the world of entertainment denizens, which
eventually however was displaced by near being a stage mother ,
knowing that KC, an emergent thespian logged her first professional
credit on the legitimate world of theater. She auditioned herself in
the musical play “The Little Mermaid” without drawing as reference
the fame of her parents. At this point, she’s the most sought after
face in the world of fashion having signed a P5M deal with a fresh
Bench TM line called Human.
On top of this newfound hectic sked, KC prioritizes her studies at
International School, in fact she’s on the honor roll, a member of
the school choir and an officer of various school organizations.
She’s likewise enthusiastic and dynamic on such extra-curricular
activities like soccer and swimming.
Thus, nobody’s halting the own distinction claim of this young
lady as she rides the bandwagon towards theatrical plays and movieland.
Thanks to her mom Sharon for having taught her the virtue of being down to earth ,
unpretentious and affectionate for nobody so deserving of the megastar throne but KC
herself.
