You’ll be surprised by most of these!

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.

1. She’s Didn’t Finish Her Degree

In a candid YouTube video, Kim Chiu revealed that her biggest regret is not finishing her university degree. Though she enrolled at the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) and studied for two years, her demanding career in showbiz ultimately prevented her from completing the course.
