Actress-host Kim Chiu marked her birthday month with a meaningful act of generosity, extending assistance to tricycle and jeepney drivers affected by rising fuel prices.
Instead of holding a lavish celebration, Kim chose to give back by organizing a charity initiative that provided free gasoline, grocery packs, and meals to drivers at a gasoline station in Quezon City.
Photos circulating on social media showed Kim personally distributing the aid, interacting warmly with beneficiaries, and even taking selfies with the drivers.
According to posts shared online, recipients were given stubs indicating the schedule and location where they could receive fuel assistance and grocery packages.
Kim also brought meals from a fast-food brand she endorses, adding to the support extended to the drivers.
Many drivers expressed heartfelt appreciation for the actress’ gesture, noting how the assistance helped ease their daily expenses amid the continued rise in fuel and commodity prices.
Some beneficiaries shared that beyond the material help, Kim’s initiative also gave them hope and encouragement.
Kim celebrated her 36th birthday on April 19. During an emotional moment on ‘It’s Showtime’, she reflected on her personal journey and expressed gratitude to her supporters.
“My ultimate birthday wish is ultimate happiness,” she said.
“I’m so happy and I’m so grateful dahil everyday binibigyan niyo ako ng chance to redeem myself and to be better… Kahit ano ang ibato sa akin lumalakas ako,” she added.
She also thanked her home network, co-hosts, and fans for their continued trust and support.
Kim’s birthday initiative resonated with many online, with netizens praising her for using her platform to uplift others—especially those struggling with everyday costs.
