CONCEPCION. Fully committed to the relationship, despite eveything.
For some weeks now, televiewers have been the recipients of recondite or downright mystifying updates or “progress reports” on the KC Concepcion-Piolo Pascual romance and its periodic upheavals.
First off, KC’s mom, Sharon Cuneta, surprised viewers with her concerned comments about the two stars’ relationship, intimating that all was not well with it.
After Sharon’s guarded declaration of concern, however, not much was heard from KC or the iconically laconic Piolo, so people’s confusion persisted. Until last September 4, when KC finally talked at greater length about the less-than-perfect “situation.”
Declarations
Even KC’s declarations, however, were guarded and in fact sometimes spoken in a kind of “code” that viewers had to figure out or “deconstruct,” to divine what she really meant!
Here’s a breakdown of the “highlights” of KC’s “loaded” comments, the better for us to arrive at a more complete picture of what is really taking place – if we’re all that interested:
The couple has kissed and made up, and in fact attended the Star Magic Ball together, and Piolo even gifted KC with jewelry.
But, some things still have to change. “Hindi na puwede ang dati. Hindi tinataguan or tinatakasan ang mga issue. It’s commitment time.” Hmmm…
When asked if, despite everything, she was happy, KC couldn’t give a categorical reply. Uh-oh.
But, not to worry, KC resolutely declared, ups and downs are par for the course for “all” relationships(?) – so, hope springs eternal that the eight-month relationship won’t irretrievably flounder before the year ends.
Real score
After assimilating all that, what’s the real score? We sense that KC could be chafing because the busy Piolo, who’s used to getting his way and doing things in his time, place and pace, may not be giving her the time and attention she needs.
“Quality time” sounds nice, but young women in a relationship need and want more than that, and Piolo may be remiss in that regard.
KC says they recently talked “everything” through, but we don’t know if “reforms” regarding the time issue were part of the “package.”
The next bunch of comments – on the need for change, confronting rather than running away from issues, greater commitment, stop going by cozy past practices – reveal KC’s need for greater clarity, proactive dynamism and excitement in the relationship with her older and perhaps more “habituated” beau.
Relationship
At the end of her “sharing” on “The Buzz,” KC declared again that she was “fully committed” to the relationship, despite everything, and contra mundum.
But, what about the laconic Piolo? What is he prepared to do to make his beloved KC truly happy? Abangan ang susunod na coded message!
