According to a news report, Gabby's father died at around 8:30 p.m. September 23, at the Lourdes Hospital. He was 72. The Concepcion patriarch had been sick for a few years now because of enlarged heart. In an interview, Gabby said that his father cannot be operated anymore because three of his veins in his heart are already blocked. One of the reasons why Gabby returned to the Philippines after 13 years of living in the United States is to see his father again. Mr. Concepcion had been known to be the driving force behind his son's showbiz career. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
