Gabbi is set to star in the series Rosang Agimat, which the veteran actor met his untimely death after the accident on the set while taping. Because of this, the operation for the upcoming GMA television series is put on-hold.
Whether temporarily or permanently, the project might be shelved off, for the second time.
This may be sad on her part but, no one really wished for the accident to happen since this series has long been planned and the production has begun. Rosang Agimat is a long-overdue series, which was once shelved off by GMA Network in 2007.
