A wave of emotions flooded social media after Gab Valenciano, the multi-talented son of Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, officially said goodbye to the Philippines. In a deeply emotional turn of events, Gab flew to the United States to pursue a new beginning—far from the limelight of local showbiz and the comforting presence of his family.

Just days before his flight, Gab posted a series of heartfelt photos on his social media account. In them, he was surrounded by family and close friends in what appeared to be a despedida celebration. The mood was a mixture of joy and sorrow—smiles were shared, but the sadness in their eyes couldn’t be hidden. Netizens immediately felt the weight of the moment, knowing that Gab’s departure wasn’t just a simple trip abroad—it was the start of a major life transition.

Gary V to son Gab: 'You being around is more than enough'

In his post, Gab expressed how difficult the decision was. “It’s not easy,” he admitted. “I’ve been so used to having my parents close. Being away from them again is never easy. But I know this is something I need to do for myself.” He also extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who had been part of his journey in the Philippines, especially the talent managers who gave him opportunities throughout his six-year career in the entertainment industry. “You believed in me even when I doubted myself,” he wrote. “For that, I’ll forever be grateful.”

But perhaps the most poignant part of this farewell is the reaction of his parents. Gary and Angeli Valenciano, both emotional, tried to remain strong as they saw their son off. Those close to the family shared that tears flowed freely at the airport as Gab hugged them one last time before boarding his flight. Gary was said to be especially emotional—quiet, holding back tears, and whispering prayers for his son’s safety and success.

Gab’s move to the U.S. isn’t just for personal growth—it’s a bold leap of faith. He plans to explore creative opportunities, possibly in music, directing, or even behind-the-scenes production work. Friends and fans alike are rooting for him, believing that with his talents and determination, Gab can make his mark on a global stage.
