On October 31, actress Kim Chiu reacted to people calling her the next Vilma Santos.
At the ‘Linlang’ Thanksgiving Media Conference, which LionhearTV covered, Chiu excitedly acknowledged those who praised her by comparing her career path with the Stars for All Season.
“Grabe, wala po, punong-puno po ng pagpapasalamat ‘yung puso ko ngayon. Punong-puno ng pagmamahal. Para pong wala pong paglagayan ang kalungkutan ang puso ko ngayon kung di buong-buong kasiyahan po dahil parang ‘yung takot ko noon, parang napalitan po ng isang malaking success na hindi namin inakala na magiging ganito na kalaki ‘yung Linlang. Kaya sobrang pasalamat po ako.”
She also thanked ABS-CBN for giving her various opportunities in the 17 years of her showbiz career.
“Totoo ba, excited na ko, charing. Tignan natin, siyempre, lahat naman ng project na pinagkakatiwala sa akin, alam ko naman hindi siya ibibigay sa akin kung hindi nila pinag-isipang mabuti. Ako naman ‘yung buong 17 years ko dito sa ABS-CBN, sobrang laki ng tiwala ko sa management na inaalagaan talaga nila ako. Kaya nagpapasalamat ako bilang isang Kapamilya. And I’m very happy kung saan man ako ngayon. I’m #forevergrateful.”
Admittedly, Chiu felt bashful with how people compared her career path with Santos.
“Diyos ko, nahihiya ako kay Ma’am Vilma. Magkasama po kami sa trabaho at sobrang bait po nun. Sana, sana.”
