Kim Chiu is her usual bubbly self at her recent fan meet in Watsons, SM The Block.
She beams about her brand endorsement, “I’ve been with Hairfix for three consecutive years na.
“And then sila talaga yung tumulong sa akin nung pandemic.
“Kasi lahat tinry ko.”

During the lockdown, she and her two sisters—namely, Lakam and Twinkle—had fun experiment with their hair color.
“Nag-hair treatment ako, nag-hair color ako. And isa rin to sa naging bonding naming magkakapatid sa bahay. Yung magkulayan ng buhok.
“Dahil very easy to use talaga, very practical…parang, tatlong product lang siya, pagkahaluin mo lang…tapos, after one hour, ang ganda na ng kulay ng buhok mo.”

KIM CHIU ON IT’S SHOWTIME! VS MTRCB ISSUE
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asks, “Is there something about your life or your career that Hairfix cannot fix?
“None,” she replies with certainty.
The Chinita Princess continues, “Dahil wala namang problem na hindi napi-fix. Lahat naman, buhok nga napi-fix, e, problem pa kaya.
“So it’s just your way of accepting and to move forward sa kung ano man yung problema mo.
“Kasi wala namang temporary, e, change lang ang meron pala.”
Does her answer apply even to the ongoing issue of It’s Showtime, where she is a co-host, with the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB)?

“Ay, grabe! Buhok ba yun?” says Kim, referring to the topic during the short presscon after the fan meet.
Then in a more serious tone, she answers, “Hindi, lahat naman ng problema nakakaya namin.
“Lalo na ang Showtime na 13 years na sila sa noontime show.
“And wala namang problema na hindi nakakayanan.
“Dahil, ano na rin, na-test by time na rin kaming lahat.
“Actually, ang buong ano, lahat naman tayo na nati-test tayo ng time.
“And then, may mga natutunan tayo and ni-look forward natin yun.
“And we’re just very grateful na ang daming sumusuporta sa Showtime.”

On September 28, 2023, right before the fan meet, MTRCB releases a resolution denying the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) filed by GMA Network, Inc. and ABS-CBN Corporation.
Part of its statement reads:
“Said MRs sought relief from the Board’s ruling dated August 17, 2023, regarding the July 25, 2023 episode of the live noontime television program It’s Showtime!
“Specifically, during the show’s ‘Isip Bata’ segment, in which hosts Ryan Bang, Vice Ganda, and Ion Perez allegedly acted indecently or inappropriately in the presence of children, which is alleged to have violated Section 3 (c) of Presidential Decree No. 1986 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
“In view of which, the Board’s decision dated 17 August 2023 is affirmed.”
The MR seeks to reverse MTRCB’s decision to suspend the show for 12 airing days.

KIM CHIU WITHOUT A DATE AT STAR MAGIC BALL
On a lighter note, tomorrow, September 3, will be the comeback of the ABS-CBN Ball.
Kim is excited about it, “Sobrang nilu-look forward ko talaga dahil to yung time na iba yung mga itsura…yung pinaghandaan namin.
“Hindi kami naka-role as actors or actress, singers or dancers, we’re just celebrating on how grateful we are na andito pa rin kami bilang isang kapamilya.
“So looking forward na sa glitz and glamour, to say hi, hello sa mga nakatrabaho namin sa ABS, and then it’s a reunion na rin siguro ng iba’t ibang artista sa gabing iyan.
“Ang daming magaganda, pogi, daming mga dashing and vibrant.”
Will she be escorted by her boyfriend Xian Lim?
“Wala si Xian, nasa India siya. As of the moment, magmu-motor siya sa Himalayas.”
But don’t fret, KimXi (moniker of Kim_Xin love team) fans, Kim has no qualms going to the ball alone.
She continues, “May nag-invite sa kanya, so ingat siya. Pangarap niya yun, eh
“First time ko walang [date], hindi naman first time. Parang 2012 magkasama kami, ngayon, 2023, ako lang mag-isa. Kaya ko nun siguro.”
Without a doubt, Kim misses Xian.
On Xian’s latest post on Instagram, the Kapamilya actress drops a short but sweet message for the Kapuso actor, who is presently in Delhi, India.

She writes, “I miss you.”
He replies, “I miss you more.”
