MANILA, Philippines—Between finishing her schoolwork for the UP Open University and laying down tracks for two forthcoming CDs under Sony-BMG, singer-actress Sharon Cuneta found the time to field questions about the show biz comeback of former husband Gabby Concepcion.

Inquirer Entertainment caught up with Sharon, who granted a phone interview as she was motoring to a Makati recording studio on Tuesday night, three days before her flight to London, where she is currently shooting the Star Cinema drama “Caregiver.”

On the phone, Sharon sounded harassed, as she was obviously being hit from all sides—juggling school, work, family.

To top it off, the Gabby issue had to explode in that very same week.

She candidly admitted that she is torn about the Gabby comeback.

“The industry lacks good leading men like him,” she explained.

At the same time, she is not so keen about a proposed Sharon-Gabby reunion movie, with their daughter KC (whom she fondly calls their “eternal connection”) thrown in for good measure.

“People say there’s clamor [for such a movie],” she noted. “I have no problem with that. But the point is: Does he want to do it?”

Another crucial consideration: “Does KC want to do it?”

Easy target

“I believe KC wants to establish herself first as an actress, away from the shadow of her parents,” Sharon clarified. “It’s best for KC’s first movie to be a solo [starrer].”

She agreed with Gabby that such a project would be an easy target for intrigue-mongers.

Sharon pointed out: “No amount of money would be worth the peace of mind of my husband (Sen. Francis Pangilinan) and my two young daughters (Frankie and Miel).”

Sharon’s priority is to shield her daughters from controversy. “We have no time for negativity,” she insisted.

In any case, she reiterated that she and Gabby are “civil” to each other.

The last time they talked was on the cell phone, when KC visited Gabby in San Francisco two years ago.

Phone exchange

“I was talking to KC, who was on the way to the airport, bound for home,” Sharon recalled. “She suddenly gave the phone to Gabby.”

It was a pleasant conversation, she recounted. “He told me he was happy that KC grew up into a wonderful young woman. I told him that she loved and respected him deeply, even if they didn’t see each other for so long.”

To break the earnestness, Sharon cracked, “I guess that says something about the kind of person I am. Then, he said thank you.”

When she put down the phone, Sharon said, “I started crying. After all these years, I finally got a thank you.”

Should she bump into him in the hallways of ABS-CBN, Sharon insisted, “I would say hi to him. I don’t expect to be immediately chummy with him, but I’ll be cordial.”

As she jokingly inquired earlier (when told about Gabby’s contract with ABS-CBN): “We’re Kapamilya again?”
