Personal life

Since her parents' separation in 1998, Kim had a dysfunctional relationship with both of her parents.[57] She and her siblings were raised by their paternal grandmother and, as children, frequently moved residences in the Philippine Visayas; locating in Tacloban, Leyte, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Mindoro and back to Cebu City until 2006.[58][59] In 2013, she reconciled with her father "after five years of estrangement"[60] while visiting his second partner and half-siblings in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.[59] A month later in June, her biological mother, Louella, fell into a coma. Following a week of hospitalization, Louella died on June 23, 2013, due to brain aneurysm.[61][62][63] 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."[64][65]

Chiu and her companions were unharmed.[71] Investigators examine the shooting as a possible case of mistaken identity.[72] Chiu later revealed on social media that, a day after the incident, a person claiming to have been the actual target called one of her bosses to apologize.[73]

She began partnership with GSK for yearly asthma awareness campaigns, Win Against Asthma, after battling asthma as a child.[74][75] 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.[76] In August 2012, she and Lim spearheaded a relief operation in Marikina.[77] 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.[78]
