What Gabby Concepcion Taught His Daughters About Love

Just recently, the veteran leading man took one of his daughters on a special bonding activity — teaching her how to drive a stick shift.

"The other day, I taught my daughter how to drive. We were in Lobo, Batangas, and we spent an entire day doing nothing but driving. I wanted her to learn how to drive a manual transmission because it's rare nowadays, but I want her to understand the mechanics of driving."

It was an experience he said he truly enjoyed, especially since she was more comfortable asking him questions than she would have been with an instructor.

"I prefer to teach her myself because this way, she can ask a lot of questions. She even told me, 'It's better that you taught me' because she would have been too shy to ask an instructor. So that's OK. I really enjoyed it. Kulang pa nga, nabitin ako eh."

With his eldest child, KC Concepcion, turning 40 soon, Gabby also reflected on how he still sees her as his little girl.

"People ask me how old she is now, but I don't see her at that age. To me, she's still like a 10-year-old. Like (what the) song says, 'You will always be my baby,'" he said of his daughter with ex-wife, Sharon Cuneta.
