KC Concepcion Signs with Viva, is TV5 Contract Next in Line?

KC Concepcion Signs with Viva, is TV5 Contract Next in Line?

It's official! KC Concepcion is now a Viva talent.

KC has just signed an official 3-year management contract with Viva Entertainment, the same talent arm who handles the career of her mom Sharon Cuneta.

Now that KC has moved to Mr. Vic del Rosario's talent management who facilitates Sharon's P1-billion contract with TV5, the possibility of her leaving ABS-CBN for TV5is not far from impossible given the current situation of her personal life now with another Kapamilya's prized possession Piolo Pascual.

Showbiznest also previously reported (read related news HERE)that Sharon asked Boss Vic to inked a management deal with KC since the latter doesn't have any written agreement with Star Magic and ABS-CBN.

The question that needs to be answer now is: is she or is she not leaving ABS-CBN to get rid of Piolo? Let's wait and see as the Piolo Pascual-KC Concepcion Break-up saga continues.
