Kim Chiu is an icon in the Philippines. From her unforgettable roles on-screen to her infectious personality off it, she’s built a career that has kept fans glued to their screens for over a decade.
But beyond her star-studded career, Kim Chiu is a woman of many layers. Whether it’s her academic achievements or her hidden talents, there’s much more to this multi-talented actress than meets the eye. Here are 8 lesser-known facts about Kim Chiu that will make you love her even more.
