Who is lying?

Gabby claimed that he did not see his father for 13 years that's why he came home. My friend swore that she saw him and his father outside the Crown Colony Condo at Hickey, Daly City, California where Gabby Concepcion used to live.

Now Gabby Concepcion's father is dead and he is blaming his agent Rose Flaminiano for his death. According to him, Flaminiano had been calling his father about their problems. Flaminiano denies. Who is lying?

MANILA, Philippines - “I told Mrs. Flaminiano not to call him, but she did. She should not have involved my father in our problems,” said actor Gabby Concepcion, whose father Rollie died on Tuesday night.

Gabby said Rollie’s fatal heart attack could have been caused by depression over the fact that his son was involved in another court case, this one filed by the actor’s own manager, Rose Flaminiano.

Rollie, who was under medication for a heart ailment, had complained of chest pains while driving along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City on Tuesday He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Lourdes Memorial Hospital in Sta. Mesa, around 10 p.m. He was 72.

“She kept calling him,” Gabby told Inquirer on Thursday night. And he always wanted to know what was happening to me, even if I kept it from him. He was hurt by the things she told him.”
Flaminiano last week filed a P22-million lawsuit against Gabby for breach of contract. It was her response to a letter that Gabby’s lawyer Raymond Fortun sent on Sept. 9, requesting that their five-year management contract be rescinded.

Gabby claimed inconsistencies in the contract, which he signed in January 2008. Flaminiano took charge of Gabby’s show biz career when the actor returned from a 13-year residence in the United States.

“My father took it very badly. He did not need to be disturbed that way, not by me or by anybody,” said the actor.

Gabby’s mom, Maria Lourdes, or “Baby”, said Rollie was a very emotional person. “All that stress was not good for him,” she told
Inquirer Entertainment on Friday during a visit to the wake.

(The elder Concepcion’s remains lie at the chapel of the family-owned O.B. Montessori de San Juan, on P. Guevarra St., San Juan. Burial is set this afternoon at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City.)

Baby said Rollie was ecstatic when Gabby came home in March. “At the time, Rollie already knew that he was a walking time bomb. But he had prayed hard for Gabby to come home one day,” she said.

In any case, Baby was sure her husband did not hold ill feelings for Flaminiano. “He was deeply religious and forgiving,” she explained. “I, on the other hand, feel differently. As a mother, my instinct is to protect my child. Maybe in time I’ll learn to forgive [but] she (Flaminiano) should give me a reason.”

Gabby always said his dad was the primary reason for his return. “Work was just consequential.”

‘Why would I?’

Flaminiano told the Inquirer in a phone interview: “My condolences to the entire Concepcion family. Let us respect Gabby’s father and refrain from spreading intrigues.”

She dismissed all speculation that she had caused Rolly’s passing. “Why should I call [him]? Rolly and I never quarreled [or] discussed my misunderstanding with Gabby. He was such a nice guy.”

She is not sure she should go to the wake. “Things are still too tense.”

As for her P22-million lawsuit against Gabby, Flaminiano said, “Tuloy ang kaso.”
