Kim Chiu admitted she almost migrated to Canada to avoid judgmental people. That’s what she revealed during the press conference for her new horror movie titled, Huwag Kang Lalabas on December 11.
She thought of leaving the country for good.
“Wala naman akong ginawa, nagtanggol lang naman ako. So, parang iba yung tingin nila sa akin so natakot ako. Mga dalawang buwan yata akong hindi lumabas ng bahay.
“Naisip ko rin na, ‘Ah, sa Canada na lang ako para wala ng judgmental dito.’ Pupuntahan ko na lang sana yung kapatid ko doon. Umabot na sa gan’un.”
Chiu confessed that when her ‘bawal lumabas’ statement went viral; she got traumatized by how judgmental the people are.
“Parang ang daming fears na sumasailalim sa bawal lumabas yung pandemic, yung judgmental people. Pero at the end of the day, nalagpasan ko silang lahat. At heto ako, nagpo-promote ng movie.”
She stated she has overcome the trauma from her controversial statement by not paying attention to what the people are saying about her.
“Wala. Hinahayaan ko na lang sila. Iniisip ko na lang hindi ko sila kilala. Yun ang lamang ko sa kanila, sila kilala nila ako, so kung magsalita ka ng masama sa akin hindi kita kilala. Hindi naman tayo rubbing elbows, so hindi yon magma-matter sa akin,” she added.
Directed by Adolf Alix Jr., Huwag Kang Lalabas is one of the official entries for the Metro Manila Film Festival 2021. Joining Chiu in the cast are Jameson Blake, Elizabeth Oropesa, Beauty Gonzalez, James Blanco, Joaquin Domagoso, and Aiko Melendez.
