KC Concepcion and Sharon Cuneta (MNS Photo) Sharon Cuneta has vented her frustration over her daughter KC Concepcion’s “unnecessary too-sexy poses,” saying she is hurt whenever she sees the young actress’ daring outings. The “Your Face Sounds Familiar” judge aired her sentiment in a comment thread on her Facebook post Friday about Frankie, her daughter with former senator Francis Pangilinan, and their first TV commercial together. Cuneta was asked by a follower, Dany Pascual, for her reaction to a photo of Concepcion wearing a bra underneath a coat to pair with her trousers and boots. “I really honestly would rather not say anything,” Cuneta said on Friday. “But I also really honestly would have to say I do not like that she has done this and other unnecessary too-sexy poses.” The photo appears to have been taken during dance group G-Force’s culminating activity for its summer workshop last May 26 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay. Concepcion, 30, took the stage as a guest performer wearing the same outfit. According to Cuneta, the photo is not the first time she was shocked by Concepcion’s choice of outfits or poses for a public material. She said: “Sorry pero nanay ako… May mga bagay na ‘di naman na kailangan gawin. Madaming beses na din kasi akong nagulat. Well, she’s an adult and unfortunately, all we parents can do is give our advice, di magkulang sa paalala… Sana lang din tama na yung poses na ganyan. Nasasaktan na ako.” Concepion, Cuneta’s Read More …
