KIM CHIU

Chinese Cutie from Cebu Kim Chiu is declared the PBB Teen Edition's Teen Big Winner at the Aliw Theater, after besting 13 other housemates within a month long stay inside the Big Brother House. Showing exceptional talents, strength of character and child-like innocence, the 16-year-old proved to be this edition's runaway bet.

Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu (born April 19, 1990) was born in Xiamen, China and immigrated to Cebu City at the age of 3. An actress of Chinese descent, she is the first Teen Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition, besting 43 other teen housemates in June 2006.

Her popularity with viewers and an interest in show business led to acting assignments with fellow Pinoy Big Brother Teen housemate Gerald Anderson, who became her acting love team partner after Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition. She sang a Chinese song called Peng Yu in Big Brother's house which means friend.

In the six months since the end of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition, Kim and Gerald have appeared together in several shows on the ABS-CBN network, bagged several commercial endorsements, and appeared in their first movie, First Day High. They also appear in Love Spell at Aalog-Alog.

Kim is currently working on a primetime TV series entitled Sana Maulit Muli, where she is once again partnered with Gerald. She is a member of ABS CBN's elite circle of homegrown talents properly named Star Magic.

CRITICISM
Kim Chiu as Jasmine Sta. Maria, in the TV series, "Sana Maulit Muli". While she is popular as a teenage fashion model, Chiu has received harsh criticism as an actress and as an artist. Many express that her cute appeal fails to shield her otherwise poor and wooden acting performance, especially in her debut movie First Day High, a film panned by critics and moviegoers. In an article published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Nestor Torre criticized Chiu's performance in First Day High, saying "She has a hard time enunciating her lines. She’s too raw and untrained a performer to realize that acting is communication, so clarity of diction and utterance is of prime importance. In a number of scenes, we wince as we listen to Kim struggling to make herself understood, and failing much of the time."

KIM CHIU - www.pinoybigbrother.com


Except for the fact that she's not an orphan, Kim has a sort of 'Cinderella' story. The teen who hails from Cebu, with her siblings, currently lives with her dad and his second family. Her parents separated when she was 9 years old. Her dad met her stepmom during a business trip in Vietnam. Kim's dad got into a vehicular accident and her 'tita' took care of him there. When Kim was in her first year in high school, her mom had to suddenly leave for Hong Kong, so her dad and his new family took her and her siblings under their wing. "Wala naman akong magawa. Hindi na rin naming nagawang magalit. Kesa magtanim ka ng galit sa puso mo, tanggapin mo na lang."

She rates her relationship with her stepmother as 'ok lang', neither good nor bad. "She doesn't talk to us about our dad. Minsan mabait siya minsan hindi. Dati masungit talaga siya. May nagawa lang kaming konting mali ng mga kapatid ko sinusumbong na niya sa daddy ko. Napapagalitan tuloy kami. Tapos minsan sabi ni daddy 50 pesos ang baon ko, then 20 lang ang bibigay niya." Their family used to be well-off. They even had a store in Tacloban. Her family isn't exactly dirt poor now but she sometimes misses the old days when she got driven to school by their own car. "My mom nagpatayo siya noon ng house na worth halos 4 million pesos tapos di naman pala namin kaya. Ang nagpapaaral sa akin ngayon dad at tita ko. We used to have our own house, our own car. Now we live with my lola and I take a jeep to school."

With her cute Chinese looks you'd think boys would be courting her left and right. But Kim's opinion of guys is not exactly the same as their opinion of her. "Tingin ko sa lahat ng lalaki manloloko. Sa simula ok kayo, kapag tumagal na, sumasama na ang ugali. Di na nagtetext, di na nagsasabi kung saan pupunta. Madali kang pagsawaan." Must be her bad experience with her ex-boyfriend. "Friends pa din naman kami hanggang ngayon. Pero sabi niya pagod na daw siya. Sabi ko naman ako rin pagod na. Pagod na sa kakasunod sa kanya, sa kakahanap at kapapaalam sa kanya. Ako na lang ng ako." So this means no Prince Charming for her at the moment.

She feels challenged by Pinoy Big Brother. She believes that she has enough talent and will power to take on Big Brother's tasks. "Gusto ko maging artista. Gusto ko din makita sa TV at patunayan sa mama ko, sa tita ko, sa mga tao na may talent ako. Pwede ako sumayaw, kumanta at umarte. I can play the guitar." Kim's really praying she wouldn't cry, something she hates doing. "Kasi pagumiyak ako sasabihin nila na talo ako."
