Kapuso actor Gabby Concepcion is honored to be included in the line-up of anniversary episodes of Tadhana.
The award-winning actor is one of the protagonists in Tadhana’s first story offering for its fourth anniversary celebration titled “Sa Ngalan ng Ama.” She is joined by Eula Valdes, Thea Tolentino, Ariella Arida, and Bubbles Paraiso.
“It is with great honor that I took part in an anniversary episode for Tadhana. [I’m] glad to be working with such positive energy on the set,” said Gabby.
He added that he is happy to be able to work with Eula again while he enjoys his first project with Thea, Bubbles, and Ariella.
Gabby also shared the lesson to be learned from the story: “Love is worth fighting for. Love for children will forever dwell in our hearts. No amount of time, distance, space, denial or circumstance can ever change that. ”
In the two-part story “Sa Ngalan ng Ama,” Gabby plays the role of Christian, the biological father of Tracy (Thea). Choosing to be true to herself after coming out as a lesbian, Diane (Ariella) leaves Christian and raises Tracy without him. After many years, Christian tries to reclaim the daughter he never met. But this is not without a fight from Coco (Eula), the lesbian guardian of Tracy who assumed responsibility of taking care of Tracy when Dianne died during childbirth.
As the story concludes this Saturday, Tracy will discover one by one the secrets kept by her loved ones. Who would have thought that the father she had never met is just looking after her from afar and that her supposed “Daddy”, Coco, turns out to be also longing for love? Will she be forced to choose between her two “fathers”? Or will forgiveness and understanding prevail?
