New Kapuso actress Gabbi Garcia or Gabriella Louise Lopez in real life got the biggest break of her life when she was chosen as one of the young lead stars in GMA Network’s primetime series MY DESTINY co-starring with big stars Carla Abellana, Tom Rodriguez, Rhian Ramos, Lorna Tolentino, Sid Lucero, Al Tantay, Kuh Ledesma, and fellow young stars Ruru Madrid and Ashley Ortega.
In a casual interview during the show’s blog conference at Baang Coffee last week, Gabbi Garcia said that it was her childhood dream to become an actress or showbiz personality someday – and that day has finally happened to this 15 year-old 4th Year High School student of St. Paul College Pasig.
“Bata pa ako sumasali na ako sa mga kung ano-anong contest, commercials at print ads.” Gabbi explained. “I tried auditioning sa kabila (AbsCbn) years ago pero hindi ako pinalad, two years after, a talent scout asked me to audition for GMA. I auditioned November last year and got the callback two Months, tapos last March contract signing na.”
She did a three Months workshop after the signing and then auditioned for MY DESTINY last June and luckily got the part of Nicole Perez who is the love interest of Paul Andrada (played by Ruru Madrid) and the best friend of Alex Martinez (played by Ashley Ortega).
Technically, My Destiny is Gabbi’s first acting project and it’s on a primetime! What a debut!
Gabbi Garcia said that she’s very thankful to GMA for trusting her with this project. She’s lacking in sleep and balancing taping schedules and school but admits that she is enjoying every moment.
