In an interview, Kim Chiu recalled what she bought with her first showbiz paycheck.
This is what Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu bought when she received her first salary as an actress in ABS-CBN.
We all have happy stories with our first salary. It was special and receiving the money we worked hard for gave us that sense of independence. There were happiness and the feeling of being proud with ourselves as that amount, no matter how small or big, was the fruit of your hard work.
Just like most of us, this is the same case with actress Kim Chiu who can still vividly remember what she bought upon receiving her first showbiz paycheck. After winning the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2006, her career as an actress started and landed on several ones following the end of the season.
She remembered her happiness when she received her first salary and the first thing she bought was food – all of her favorites. According to her, while inside the PBB house, they need to work hard or win a challenge in order to eat good foods.
When she got out and had her first money, what she immediately did was buy everything she wanted to eat – the ones they never had inside the PBB house.
“Marami, sinabay-sabay ko ang spaghetti, french fries, chicken, hamburger, sinabay ko lahat. Ang ending tumaba ako. Tumaba nang bongga si girl. Kasi binili niya lahat ng pagkain,” she shared. She also bought two cellphones at that time.
The actress thought she won’t last long in the industry but she did which paved way for her to do bigger purchases like buying a property, sending her siblings to school, and provide for them.
Being able to have these good things in life made her decide to stay and work harder as she made it her goal to give her siblings whatever that can make their lives better.
Kim shared, “No’ng nakabili ako ng bahay, lupa. Tapos binigyan ko ng kwarto ‘yung mga kapatid ko. Kasi wala naman kaming bahay noon. Doon ako naka-decide na dire-diretso na ako rito. Para pa-graduate-in ko ‘yung mga kapatid ko. Bibigyan ko sila ng kung anong magpapabuti sa buhay nila.”
Meanwhile, the PBB house is set to open again this year. Pinoy Big Brother 2024 is confirmed and many are now prepared to meet the new set of housemates.
