GABBY CONCEPCION, who has been out of Philippine show business for more than a decade is back...with plenty of controversies attached to his name.

I've read in the Pilipino Star Ngayon tabloid that Gabby has signed a contract with GMA Films and was paid in advance to do a movie with them. But in the evening news TV Patrol World on ABS-CBN tonight, he reportedly signed an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN and its film productions Start Cinema.

Another daughter of him (with a businesswoman Grace Ibuna), Gabriel Arellano Concepcion also made a public appearance saying that they are not after the actor's misfits but are rather contented with their life without him.

Gabby Conception is also linked to the Jose Pidal controversy and is reported to have posted a bail amounting to P6, 000.00 for a falsification of puclic documents case.

It has been part of the showbiz culture in the Philippines to fuel the rising of new stars or shows with controversies. Are the issues concerning Gabby Concepcion's comeback are simply tactics to promote his future shows and those of his daughter's (KC Concepcion)?
