One of the intimate chums of Sharon Cuneta divulged to this writer that the spreading talks about her rift with KC Concepcion have been exaggerated. Just like in any mom-daughter relationships, trouble crops out along the way. But as Sharon commented she’s far from perfect yet would always put her best foot forward in trying to be a good mom.
“The misunderstanding doesn’t fall on KC’s sexy photos that Sharon admittedly does not conform with. Sadly, there are other personal reasons that she wants to keep under wraps for privacy. Let’s respect Sharon for that.” My source intimated to me.
At any rate, Sharon has already posted at the Instagram her profound thanks to those who assiduously understand her through the years and have remained supportive as ever.
Meanwhile, the supposed project that would reunite Sharon, KC and Gabby Concepcion under ABS-CBN won’t go to mothballs as other implied. It will still push either this year or early 2016.

Ross mentioned to me that he knew he had a child by his previous girlfriend. Unfortunately, he was not given a chance to see the child. Years later Jon was on the threshold of stardom when he died in a car accident in Bulacan. At his wake, I chanced upon the grieving Ross who revealed to me that he had not found the child he was looking for.
Fate destined the meeting to occur when Maja joined showbiz. Through Maja’s manager Chit Ramos, the latter was able to document the fact that Ross was Maja’s dad. Chit made the move for the duo to finally come face to face in a tearful scenario for that matter. The entire Salvador clan enthusiastically welcomed Maja.
Their meaningful togetherness was short-lived for not so long after, Ross ‘sickness caused his demise. Nonetheless, the grateful Maja had thanked the Lord for giving her the best time of her life with her dad. No matter how brief it was.
