Xian Lim Eats the Food Brought by Jolo Revilla for Kim Chiu

Mismong si Kim Chiu ang nagsabing napaka-galante ng isa sa tatlong leading man niya sa My Binondo Girl na si Jolo Revilla. Palagi raw itong nagdadala ng makakain nila sa set ng kanilang serye. Nang malaman daw nito na paborito niya ang siomai, na ito lamang ang kinakain niya sa uma­ga, tanghali, at gabi ay dinalhan siya nito sa set. Pero hindi lamang para sa kanya ang dala kundi sa lahat ng katrabaho nila. Ang dalawa pang leading man niya na sina Xian Lim at Matteo Giudicelli, at maski na sina Gina Pareno at Cherry Pie Picache ay nakikikain pa sa siomai niya.



“Ang takaw-takaw nga ni Xian, palagi na lang nanghihingi ng siomai ko,” sabi ng primetime princess ng ABS-CBN na binabalikan ang paggawa ng serye.



Pero kung si Jolo ay sa pagkain kinukuha ang loob niya, si Xian ay tinuturuan siyang tumugtog ng mga musical instrument tuwing break nila. Sa kabila ng effort ng dalawa na makagaanan niya ng loob, inamin ni Kim na closest siya sa Fil-Italian na si Matteo na kapwa niya Bisaya kaya madali silang nagkaintindihan. Ilang beses na rin silang lumabas hindi para mag-date kundi para mag-bonding.



Natawa si Kim nang may magtanong sa kanya kung nagpaalam ba siya kay Maja Salvador para makapareha si Matteo.



“Hindi, bakit naman ako magpapaalam sa kanya hindi naman ako ang kumuha kay Matteo kundi ang produksiyon. I’m sure sinasabi ni Matteo kay Maja kung ano ang mga ginagawa niya kaya aware ito na magkasama kami sa My Binondo Girl,” paliwanag ni Kim.



Palabas na ang My Binondo Girl sa August 22 sa Primetime Bida ng ABS CBN, Lunes hanggang Biyernes sa oras ng Guns and Roses.

Kim Chiu Welcomes Gerald Anderson's New Leading Lady

Kim Chiu reacted to a "Showbiz News Ngayon" report that Jessy Mendiola has been receiving hate mail and negative tweets since she started working with Gerald Anderson for the television project "Budoy."



Anderson is Chiu's long-time on-screen partner.



The report said that some members of "Kimerald," or fans of the loveteam of Chiu and Anderson, do not like the latter's new leading lady.



Chiu maintained, however, that most of the Kimeralds have already expressed support for Anderson and Mendiola.



"Alam ko wala naman [issue]. Siguro mga dalawa or isa lang 'yon. Sa 100% siguro mga 5% lang 'yon at ang 95% naka-suporta sa kanila," Chiu told abs-cbnNEWS.com in an interview during a press conference for her upcoming series, "My Binondo Girl," which will premiere on ABS-CBN on August 22.



"Sa ngayon open naman po ang fans, alam ko. At sinuman ang magustuhan ni Gerald ay magugustuhan na din 'yon ng mga tao. And siyempre mas matutuwa ako kasi may taong nag-aalaga sa kanya."



In a recent interview, Mendiola said she fully understands the reaction of some fans.



"Mayroon na nagagalit sila, pero ang iba naman ay very supportive. Hindi naman lahat ng Kimerald ay ganoon. Mayroon lang talaga na hindi nila matanggap na magkahiwalay na ang love team [nila]," she said.



"I feel very bad kasi ginagawa ko lang ang trabaho ko. Gusto ko lang i-clear sa lahat na hindi naman lahat ng Kimerald ganoon, 'yung iba naman nagti-tweet na 'bagay din kayo ni Gerald,' ganoon."



Members of "Kimerald Forever" have denied that the hate mail came from them.



Meanwhile, Chiu also addressed speculations that some female stars are now afraid to work with Anderson because of the diehard fans of their loveteam.



"Sa akin di ko na call 'yon. Na kay Gerald na 'yon wala na po sa akin 'yon. May kanya-kanya na kaming buhay ngayon," she said.



Chiu said what is important now is that she and Anderson are good friends.

New Kapamilya Paulo Avelino Dreams of Working With Kim Chiu

Paulo Avelino recently signed a three-year exclusive contract with ABS-CBN, and in an interview following the signing, he expressed his gratitude to the Kapamilya network. “Very excited po ako sa bagong environment, bagong mga tao. Kapag ganun lagi akong napu-push sa limits ko. Thankful and happy ako na ABS-CBN accepted me. Hopeful ako na matulungan nila akong maging mas mahusay hindi lang sa pag-arte pati na rin sa pagiging tao.”



Paulo started out in showbiz as part of an artista search on another network. He clarified that there’s no bad blood between him and his former bosses, and that his decision to switch was for the growth of his career. “Nagpaalam naman ako nang maayos. Kinausap ko ‘yung mga bosses, sumulat din ako. Alam naman nila na wala akong ikinagagalit. Sana wala rin silang ikinagagalit sa akin. Gusto ko lang mag-explore, go out of my comfort zone. I want to re-invent myself. For my career growth lang.”



The projects in store for the 23-year-old actor is still under wraps, but according to him, he would love to hone his skills in dramatic acting. “Gusto kong i-hone ‘yung dramatic acting ko. Kung gumaling na ako, sana makapag-shift din ako sa comedy, then action, at iba pang field. Kung ano lang ang meron, ayos sa akin. Hindi naman ako mapili sa project. Gusto ko rin na pabago-bago ‘yung mga roles na magagawa ko.” He recently starred in the Cinemalaya movie Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwa ang Paa.



When asked who among the Kapamilya leading ladies he would love to work with, Paulo named My Binondo Girl star Kim Chiu. “Sa mga babae gusto kong maka-work si Kim Chiu. Aside sa galing niya sa pag-arte, napaganda talaga niya. Nakikita kong napakabait niyang artista. Napanood ko siya sa Tayong Dalawa. Hi hello lang kami sa ilang Bench fashion shows. Laging nakaka-star struck kapag nakakakita ka ng artistang hindi mo madalas makita.”



Meanwhile, among the ABS-CBN leading men, Paulo said he has so much respect for Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin actor Coco Martin. “Sa mga lalaki gusto kong makasama si Coco Martin. Mahusay siyang umarte. Feeling ko mas gagaling ako bilang aktor kapag nakatrabaho ko siya. Madami akong matututunan.”



But Paulo clarified that he didn’t come to ABS-CBN to compete or outshine anyone. He explained that he just want to become a better actor and learn new things in the industry. “Hindi naman ako nandito para makipagkumpetensya. Nandito lang ako para ipakita ‘yung lahat ng makakaya ko. Siguro tao na lang ang makakapag-judge nun. Ibibigay ko lang ‘yung best ko. Sana ma-appreciate ng mga tao.”

Kim Chiu Ready to Love Again

Following her so-called breakup with actor and long-time on-screen partner Gerald Anderson last year, Kim Chiu said she is ready to fall in love again.



"Alam mo okay na ako at ready na [to fall in love]," she said.



"Pero sa ngayon, wala pa ang taong magpapatibok ng puso ko at magpapahaba ng hair ko, pero may mga nagpaparamdam naman."



Asked about the "color" of her heart," the actress said, "Pulang pula na siya, pinkish pa. Hindi na siya kulay lumot."



Chiu denied rumors that she is not entertaining suitors because she is still hoping to get back together with Anderson.



"Sa amin ni Gerald, masaya na ako sa kung ano ang narating namin at kung hanggang saan ang inabot namin. Thankful," she said.



The actress also dismissed speculations that she is still in pain after she talked about her past relationship with Anderson on "The Buzz" last Sunday.



"Naiyak lang ako kasi may sad music at may taong nakatitig sa akin. Naiiyak talaga ako kapag ganoon, saka parang ang tagal na noon. Iyakin talaga ako at konting kurot lang iiyak na ako. Pagkatapos ng interview sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, 'ano ba ang nangyayari sa akin at bakit ako umiiyak?'" Chiu told abs-cbnNEWS.com.



Currently, Chiu is busy taping for her comeback television series, "My Binondo Girl," which will premiere on August 22 on ABS-CBN.

Kim Chiu Proud of Gerald Anderson's Accomplishments

Unlike her previous interviews, Kim Chiu is now more comfortable talking about her former on screen partner Gerald Anderson. The young actress even expressed her support for his upcoming projects including his teleserye Budoy where he stars opposite Jessy Mendiola and a possible movie with Sarah Geronimo. “Nakakatuwa dahil ang dami na niyang na-achieve na project na nagsa-shine siya ng siya lang. Nakakatuwa para sa kanya. I’m proud of him dahil ang dami na niyang narating. Nagkaroon na siya ng hit na movie [Catch Me…I’m In Love] tapos magkakaroon ulit siya ng bagong movie bukod dun sa ginagawa niyang soap ngayon.”



It’s been a year since they were last paired in Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo, and Kim is really hoping for positive feedback on her first primetime soap without Gerald. “Siyempre kinakabahan ako dahil unang beses na hindi ko kasama si Gerald sa isang primetime teleserye. Pero confident naman ako na susuportahan ako ng tao lalo na kapag may mga Kimerald [fans] na bumibisita sa akin sa set ng My Binondo Girl. Sana tangkilikin nila itong ginagawa kong soap at sana mahalin nila ako ng ako lang.”



Kim is quite speechless though when told that Gerald is wishing her well not only in terms of her career but even with her love life as well. Apparently, he is aware of the fact that she has been surrounded with several admirers lately. “Wala, hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko,” she says in between laughs. “Pero salamat dahil nag-react siya sa mga ganon, dahil sa mga sinabi niyang magagandang salita for me.”



Although they don’t have constant communication, Kim said it’s enough to know that he’ll still be there for her when she needs help. “Ngayon busy kasi ako sa My Binondo Girl and sa mga ibang ginagawa ko. Pero nagkakamustahan pa rin naman kami sa text or sa tawag, ganon lang.”

Kim Chiu Excited to be Back on Primetime

Even though she came straight from taping an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya, Kim Chiu made sure that she arrived in time for the Star Magic Games held last July 31. The young actress showcased her sporty side as she scored lots of points during the badminton and volleyball games. “Nanalo kami sa badminton tapos second place kami sa volleyball girls. Gusto ko talaga ng sports, gusto ko mag-intramurals sa school. Last year din madami ako nasalihan na games. Mas madami kaysa ngayon kasi segue pa ako sa MMK taping,” said Kim who was all smiles right after her victorious badminton tournament with Kristel Moreno as partner versus Erich Gonzales and her handler Kate Dolino.

Aside from playing her favorite sports, Kim spent the rest of the day bonding with her close friends Maja Salvador, Matteo Guidicelli, and Enchong Dee. The four of them happily sat on the sidelines while waiting for the awarding ceremony and the ASAP Rocks versus Star Magic exhibition game. She didn’t get much of a chance to talk to last year’s Most Valuable Player Gerald Anderson who came in late and was busy acting as the coach of the Green Team during the basketball championship. He later played for the much-awaited all-star exhibition game and racked up 31 points for the team.

Push.com.ph also took the chance to ask Kim about her upcoming teleserye My Binondo Girl. Although this is her first full-length soap without Gerald, Kim revealed that their fans have been very supportive of their individual projects to date. “Lahat naman ng project may pressure. Pero sigurado naman ako na susuportahan ng tao lahat ng projects namin ni Gerald—siya sa Budoy, ako sa My Binondo Girl. Confident naman ako na kahit magkaiba ang love team namin ngayon, nandiyan pa rin yung supporters namin. Actually, lagi nga silang nasa taping namin, kaya masayang-masaya ako.”

Kim was also excited about the newly-released teaser for My Binondo Girl. As it is, it’s been a while since she last appeared on TV via Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. “Excited ako magbalik primetime. Nung pinalabas yung teaser, kinilabutan ako. Sabi ko, ‘Shucks! After one year na wala sa primetime, ito na ulit!’ Siyempre nakaka-miss din. Exciting kasi tulad nung ipinakita sa teaser, lalaki ang role ko this time. Pagwapuhan na lang kami ng mga leading men ko (laughs)! Eh madali akong maka-imbibe ng character. So minsan feeling ko lalaki yata ako kasi yung upo ko and mannerisms ko pang-lalaki na. Pero okay lang kasi magandang experience para sa akin at may bago akong maipapakita sa viewers,” she beamed.
