- Gabbi Garcia is set to star in an international digital series
- Her supposed biggest break Rosang Agimat was shelved due to cast member Eddie Garcia’s death
- She revealed that she also shot a movie for the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2019
Gabbi Garcia, who was supposed to star in Rosang Agimat as the lead, is now preoccupied with her new project which is an international digital series.
Rosang Agimat would have been the biggest break for Gabbi, but due to the on-set accident and death of cast member Eddie Garcia, the show was shelved. It was on June 8 when Garcia sustained a neck fracture and went into a coma for almost two weeks before passing away on June 20.
GMA Network has now released the results of its own investigation on the veteran actor’s death. However, Garcia’s family requested to read the report first before it can be made public.
According to a report by Gorgy Rula of Pilipino Star Ngayon, GMA Network held a meeting with the actors and actresses of the drama series and announced that it has been shelved.
“Pinulong pala kamakalawa nang hapon ang mga artistang involved sa drama series na Rosang Agimat. Ipinagtapat na sa kanila na hindi na raw muna itutuloy ang naturang drama series na kung saan naaksidente si Eddie Garcia,” the veteran showbiz columnist said.
The stars of the canceled series were promised with alternative projects. For now, Gabbi is enjoying her newfound endeavor.
“Right now, I’m doing a digital series. Sobrang exciting because it’s international. Hindi ko pa puwedeng sabihin, it’s just exciting,” Gabbi shared in an interview with Philstar.com during a Maybelline New York event on Tuesday.

The actress added that she also shot a movie titled LSS, a Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2019 entry. The film festival will be held from September 12 to 18 and the entries will be shown in all cinemas nationwide.
Directed by Jade Castro for Globe Studios, Gabbi will star with her real-life boyfriend Khalil Ramos. Their characters share a love for folk-pop group Ben&Ben.
Just like her fellow Kapuso stars Dingdong Dantes, Maine Mendoza, and Alden Richards, Gabbi said she is also willing to cross borders and collaborate with the stars of the rival network, ABS-CBN.
“It’s also for you to grow, to venture out on new stuff, and to learn from other actors,” she explained.
She, however, is not entertaining fans’ clamor for her to audition for the Star Cinema revival of Mars Ravelo’s Darna.

“It’s sa ABS eh, I’m a GMA artist. I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Gabbi enthused. “If that’s for GMA, why not? I mean, you gotta have that loyalty for the network.”
Gabbi led the launch of Maybelline New York’s new Superstay Full Coverage Powder Foundation, Sensational Liquid Matte Lip Tint, and Line Tattoo Impact Pen on July 2.
