Kim Chiu is a Actor Chinoise born on 19 april 1990 at Tacloban City (Philippines)
Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu (born April 19, 1990), commonly known as Kim Chiu, is a Chinese Filipino actress in the Philippines.
Chiu first starred in the television series, Sana Maulit Muli (2007) which won her the year's Most Promising Female Star at GMMSF. This followed by a string of successful projects and leading roles in dramas such as the Philippine adaptation of My Girl (2008), action-melodramas Tayong Dalawa (2009), Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo (2010), rom-com My Binondo Girl (2011–2012), family drama Ina, Kapatid, Anak (2012–2013) and period drama Ikaw Lamang (2014).
She also starred in several films including Bride for Rent (2014), the sixth highest grossing Filipino film of all time grossing P326 million at the box office. Her other high profile films include I Love You, Goodbye (2009) and Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo? (2013).
She has received a PMPC Award for Best Drama Actress, four FAMAS Award nominations (winning one) and was hailed Princess of Philippine Movies and TV for her accomplishments in the film and television industry.
Since her parent's separation in 1998, Chiu has had a dysfunctional relationship with both of her parents. She and her siblings were raised by their paternal grandmother and frequently moved residencies in the Philippine Visayas as a child; locating in Tacloban, Leyte, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos City, Mindoro and back to Cebu City. In 2013, she reconciled with her father "after five years of estrangement" while visiting San Jose, Occidental Mindoro where her father lived with his second partner and half-siblings. A month later, her biological mother, Louella, fell into a coma. Following a week of hospitalization, Louella died on June 23, 2013, due to brain aneurysm. In a eulogy dedicated to her mother, she debunked rumors of animosity over her mother's child abandonment and expressed, "An angel guides me in my decisions in life. For me, that is finally my mom."
Chiu dated co-star Gerald Anderson from 2006 to 2010. Chiu was then linked to actor and singer Xian Lim, after months of open courtship in 2011. The relationship was briefly addressed in July 2013, where the two acknowledged they were exclusively dating.
Philanthropy and education
Chiu uses her media influence to promote various causes. She began partnership with GSK for yearly asthma awareness campaigns, Win Against Asthma, after battling asthma as a child. Chiu has since participated in disaster relief organizations such as Philippine National Red Cross and Sagip Kapamilya. She joined the PETA campaign Free Mali along with Xian Lim. Chiu made a video plea for Mali, asking that she be moved to a sanctuary for the sake of her well being. In August 2012, she and Lim spearheaded a relief operation in Marikina. Chiu was heavily involved with relief efforts for Typhoon Yolanda via Red Cross, which had affected parts of her hometown. Aside from giving food and water, she also held week-long clothes auctions to raise money for Typhoon victims.
By 2013, it was also revealed that the actress was involved with regularly funding Isla Pulo, an impoverished community of 1,000 inhabitants in Manila Bay, Philippines.
As one of the country's highest paid endorsers, a 2013 report released by the Bureau of Internal Revenue in April confirmed Chiu as 131st top taxpayer in the Philippines with P9.3M. In late 2013, Chiu addressed the ongoing Pork Barrel tax scandal and lamented the alleged misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), noting the amount of tax celebrities like herself pay to the government.
In 2015, Chiu passed the UPCAT and enrolled in University of the Philippines's UPOU program for business courses.
