TAKE FIVE
KC defines ‘Mr. Right’

MANILA, Philippines?Actress KC Concepcion, who is also the country?s United Nations ambassador against hunger, said she hopes to have a boyfriend who shares her passion for helping impoverished children.

?My ideal guy is someone who?s also active in socio-civic causes,? said KC during a media gathering last week.

Launched during the event was ?KC cares, Swatch shares,? which guarantees a hungry child food for a whole month, with every Swatch item sold.


Which places have you visited as UN ambassador?

The first was Pikit, Cotabato. Then I joined a mission in Balindong and Marawi in Mindanao. We also went to Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte.


Aren?t you worried about incidents of kidnapping in the South?

We were in Mindanao when we heard news that the World Food Programme office in Pakistan was bombed and that one of those killed was a Filipina. The work is certainly risky, pero hindi ko na lang iniisip.


But not minding it doesn?t minimize the risk.

I read Angelina Jolie?s book ?Notes from My Travel.? One chapter recalls how her flight back to Los Angeles from Africa was canceled. She said this was the least of everyone?s worries while in Africa. That?s how I feel. Ayaw ko rin maging abala sa ibang tao.


Would Angelina Jolie happen to be your idol?

She works for a different UN department, the UNHCR (High Commissioner for Refugees). She?s an inspiration. I can relate to the things she wrote in her book. However, the person I really look up to is Drew Barrymore. We work for the same agency and do the same things. More than anyone in other agencies in the UN, I follow Drew?s work closely. Matagal na kasi n?yang ginagawa ito.
