A Rocket To The Moon
Scout|Nov - Dec 2017

For someone who prefers to keep things spontaneous, GABBI GARCIA sure has a lot planned for the next phase of her career. After only three years in the industry, the young actress is already set to conquer a new stage, proving that she is, as cliché would have it, more than just a pretty face

A Rocket To The Moon

In October of this year, Gabbi interrupted her Instagram followers’ regular content viewing by releasing a set of Riverdale-inspired teasers—complete with the whole vintage-themed diner and neon lights shebang—with an objective that was clear and simple: to let everyone know she’s finally dropping her first single.

It’s no secret the girl can sing, what with the number of song covers she’s posted online and all the performances she’s done for her TV guestings and event appearances, so for anyone who’s been keeping an eye on Gabbi, it was only a matter of time before she finally took this sensible step in her career.

Even with her few years of experience, this girl already has her sights set on something bigger.

Exhausted from a long day at work—she had just come from taping and had to brave the rainy payday Friday traffic to make it all the way to Makati—but the teen star, comfortably dressed in a loose, turquoise-hued T-shirt and leggings, her hair bunched up in a ponytail, walked in with a shy smile and a sincere apology that did a commendable job at hiding her weariness. “I’m so sorry, guys! I got stuck in traffic! Nakakahiya, sorry,” she exclaimed, making a beeline for the hair and makeup area to waste no more time.
