Gabbi Garcia

Gabbi Garcia is a major fan of actor Zac Efron and wishes to work with him someday.

She is rumoured to be dating actor Ruru Madrid, which is evident through their appearances together in the events. But as she believes in leading a private life, she hasn’t come forward to confirm her relationship status.

Gabbi Garcia was born Gabriella Louise Ortega Lopez on December 2, 1998, in Makati, Philippines in a middle class family to a security manager, Vince Pena Lopez, and a flight attendant, Tes Lopez. She is the second child in the family.

She became a high school graduate from St. Paul College and grew up as a show business fanatic. She was extremely fond of watching beauty pageants on television and always wanted to be a part of the industry.

Knowing all well that she has to be physically fit in order to go follow her dreams, she started taking active interest in sports as well. At the age of 10, she became a licensed scuba diver.

Bby the time she was in high school, she had developed a keen interest in singing and dancing and she took classes to polish her skills. She showed off her talent during the family reunions. But the aim of participating in singing and talent search contests didn’t turn out that well for her.

Her participation in beauty pageants was another story altogether. She participated in quite a few of them, and won Ms. Skin White in 2011 and Ms. Solane in 2013. These wins boosted her confidence and she went ahead with auditioning for roles in TV and films.

In 2014, she went through a number of auditions during the casting process for the series ‘My Destiny’. She earned a supporting role in the series, where she played Nicole Perez. The series did well during its 80 episodes run and was later released for the worldwide audience, getting Gabbi international limelight.

She went on starring in the series with some of the biggest Filipino TV stars of that time, such as Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez. She called the experience as a ‘Dream Come True’.

In 2014, she got another major stint, where she starred as one of the leading characters in the anthology series ‘Seasons of Love’ and played an important role in the section ‘My Soulmate, My Soulmate’. Although her second series didn’t repeat the success of her debut attempt, it was appreciated nevertheless.

In 2015, she appeared in ‘InstaDad’ which gave her enough space to exhibit her acting abilities. She was bombarded with acting offers after this show, but she decided to move ahead with caution and chose only the roles that suited her and challenged her to do something different.

‘Let the Love Begin’ was another series where she did commendable work, and it remains one of her most appreciated roles till date. It was followed by the lead role in the unsuccessful series ‘Wagas: Anjo and Aleine Robrigado Love Story’. All her series’ thus far were produced by GMA Network and she had clearly become one of their favourite actors.
