Kim Chiu has taken on varied roles on the small and big screens. Recently, however, the Kapamilya star has accepted another role, which is the Tanduay Calendar Girl for 2025, and never passed up the chance to be one.

As the face of the brand, Kim represents a woman who is confident, empowered, resilient and strong.

Looking back on the time she won the hearts of everyone as a teen aspiring star to moments she learned the ropes of acting and performing, and proving herself in challenging and mature projects, Kim has come a long way as an actress and as a celebrity.

"I was shocked and I asked myself (then) if I was ready to do this," recalled the actress-TV host when first she got wind of being tapped as the Tanduay Calendar Girl 2025 in a recent event-cum-press conference for this development in her career.

"A lot of people have known me since (my) 'Pinoy Big Brother' stint and I grew up in front of everyone's eyes, not everyone, but maybe most of the people. They've known me. And I think it's about time also for me to do this."
