Kim Chiu is at her sexiest as the new Tanduay Calendar Girl for 2025. The Kapamilya actress was launched as the brand's calendar girl on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
Like other female celebrities selected as calendar girls for alcoholic beverage brands, Kim posed for a photo shoot in revealing lingerie, showcasing a bold and sultry side that contrasted with her typically cutesy showbiz image.
Kim Chiu On Being a Tanduay Calendar Girl
Kim embraced the challenge as she knew the role required not just physical appearance but a mindset shift as well. She admitted, "Kasi hindi naman ako sanay to do this kind of photo shoot. Parang scary, but at the same time, when you see the outcome, 'Aaah, yes, nagawa ko!'"
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) caught up with Kim after the press conference and asked her about her take on what it means to be sexy and whether she believes she is sexy. Kim explained that the definition of "sexy" has evolved over time.
"Being sexy in this modern times, siguro naman wala na yung stereotype... If you feel sexy, then you are sexy," she said. "Don't be shy about kung ano yung size mo, yung color mo, itsura mo... as long as you feel sexy, flaunt what you feel good about yourself."
Like many, Kim had to deal with insecurities in the past, but she overcame them step by step. "Slowly but surely," she said.
"Yung mga insecurities mo, hindi naman iyan in just one click, wala na," Kim expressed. "Yung dati, nahihiya akong ipakita yung tiyan ko kasi pusunin ako, pero I tried to work out more, then konti-konti, one step at a time... Slowly but surely, isa-isahin mo lang."
When asked if she still has insecurities, she responded with a smile, "Meron pa rin naman akong insecurities, hindi ko lang sasabihin sa inyo, pero hindi halata."
For now, Kim is on cloud nine, as she never imagined becoming a calendar girl. "This is a milestone I never thought early on in my career," she shared. "I believe that this is a testament of how much I've grown and how far I've come, not only as an artist, but also as an individual, and most especially, as a woman."
