20062007[edit]

Chiu first gained prominence by winning the reality series Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition.[2] For the

show, Chiu left her hometown of Cebu City and moved to Manila. She, along with the rest of the

housemates entered the Big Brother house on April 23, 2006. After 42 days in the Big Brother house, shewas named the Teen Big Winner with 626,562 votes (41.4% of the total votes) at the Aliw Theatre inside

After winning, Chiu became part of Star Magic.[5] She and her on-screen partner Gerald Anderson

sitcom Aalog-Alog and in the film First Day High.

In 2010, she then starred in the romance film Paano Na Kaya, released nationally and

internationally.[15] She also starred in the well-received primetime drama, Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo,

the highest rating teleserye of 2010 in the Philippines.[16] In October 2010, Chiu and Anderson teamed

long-time couple (known as Kimerald) had split, yet the reason for the breakup was not discussed.[17]

Pokwang, Derek Ramsay, Enrique Gil and Vice Ganda.[18] In 2011, Chiu starred in romantic-comedy

television series titled My Binondo Girl alongside Xian Lim, Matteo Guidicelli, and Jolo Revilla.[19]

2012present[edit]

In 2012, Chiu starred in a horror film with Vilma Santos titled The Healing. From this film, she ranked a

number of Best Supporting Actress nominations from almost all of the film award-giving bodies, missing

only the Gawad Urian and The Young Critics' Circle.[20]

Chiu also returned to melodrama acting via Ina, Kapatid, Anak, alongside Xian Lim, Maja Salvador and

Enchong Dee. The teleserye ended with an average TV rating of 30.3% provided by Kantar Media/TNS

and was awarded the Best Teleserye of the Year (2013) in Philippine's Yahoo OMG! awards, leading it to

be aired internationally as Her Mother's Daughter, released in foreign territories including MIPTV inFrance and at DISCOP West Asia in Turkey.[21][22] Her portrayal also earned her an award for Best TV

Drama Actress.[23] She reunited in a movie with Anderson titled 24/7 in Love, Star Magic's ensemble

film in view of the agency's 20th year anniversary.[24]

She starred in a film adaption of Ramon Bautista's novel co-starring Xian Lim, Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng

Crush Mo?, released on July 17, 2013.[25] Her performance received positive feedback and critics praise

in view of her first comedic role on the big screen.[26] On January 2014, Chiu cemented her top star

status with the romantic-comedy movie entitled Bride for Rent. The film achieved various milestones

and established her as one of the country's top stars having both a successful film and television career.

It was Star Cinema's first movie offering of 2014 and holds the title of sixth highest grossing Filipino film

of all time, having grossed P325 million.[27]

After the success of her two films, Chiu returned to television through Ikaw Lamang, a period drama

series with Coco Martin, Julia Montes and Jake Cuenca, produced by ABS-CBN and Dreamscape

Entertainment. The TV series currently holds the first and second place viewer rating in its time slot.[28]

Personal life[edit]

Chiu enjoys traveling, extreme sports, shopping, and recreational activities like equestrianism.[29]

The fourth child of five siblings, Chiu is Chinese-Filipino. She frequently moved residencies as a child,

raised mainly in the Philippine Visayas; locating in Tacloban, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos City,

Mindoro and back to Cebu City.[30] Being multilingual, she can speak Cebuano, Tagalog, English, with

some proficiency in Waray, Mandarin Chinese and Hokkien. Due to her family situation and her mother's

abandonment when she was nine years old,[31] Chiu mostly grew up with her paternal grandmother

and siblings.[32][33] She attended Cebu Cherish School,[34] joined various extracurricular activities and

worked as a cashier in her aunt's boutique.[35]

She had not spoken out about her family problem to her friends in her youth, until her involvement in

reality television which led to the exposure.[36] Chiu had relayed in the past that she had no contact

with either of her parents. After five years of estrangement from her father, Kim reconciled with him in

2013 after visiting his home in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro where he lived with his second partner. She

has half-siblings from her father's second relationship.[37] A month after her meeting with her father,

her biological mother, Louella, fell into a lifeless coma, which led Kim to rush to the hospital in midst of

taping of her film, Bride For Rent. Louella succumbed to brain aneurysm a week later and eventually

passed away.[38][39] After claims that it was affecting her acting scenes, the actress professed that

everything dealing with her mother was "difficult [...]"[40] Later, Chiu cited the reason for the public's

acceptance of the film during its showing was the "belief of her mother's guidance" as a sign that hermother was "watching over" her and her siblings.[41]

Relationships[edit]

In 2006, she began dating co-star Gerald Anderson. Narrowly admitting to their romantic involvement

following their break-up in 2010, Anderson voiced that Chiu was his "first love" and Chiu admitting

Anderson was her "first love". Every year their fans put together a Solid Kimerald Christmas Party which

they always attended on.[42] In 2011, after months of his courtship, Chiu was linked to fellow

actor/singer Xian Lim but they've never been girlfriend/boyfriend.[43][44]

Activism[edit]


5/33

Chiu joined the PETA campaign Free Mali along with love team, Xian Lim. Chiu made a video plea for

Mali, asking that she be moved to a sanctuary for the sake of her well being.[45] In August 2012, she and

Lim spearheaded a relief operation in Marikina.[46] Participating in various charities, Chiu was heavily

involved with relief efforts for Typhoon Yolanda, which had affected parts of her hometown. Aside from

giving food and water, she also held a week-long clothes auction to raise money for Typhoon

victims.[47]

By 2013, it was also revealed that the actress was involved with regularly funding Isla Pulo, an

impoverish community of 1,000 inhabitants in Manila Bay, Philippines.[48][49][50]
