‘She acts, she sings and now, she does pole dancing.’
She acts, she sings and now, she does pole dancing. Kim Chiu flexed her pole and chair dancing skills in her birthday celebration in “It’s Showtime” yesterday, April 18.
“Hindi ko talaga ginagawa itong pole dancing at chair pero for a change ginawa ko. Wala naman hindi kakayanin basta pag-aaralan talaga,” she said on her preparations for the number.
The “Chinita Princess” was so thankfui for her fans, ABS-CBN bosses, her “Linlang” and “It’s Showtime” family for supporting her through the years.
“I feel grateful at masaya ako for giving me this time and opportunity. Gusto kong magpasalamat na kung ano man ang bumabatikos sa akin, kung ano man sinasabi ninyo, I’m still here. I’m still fighting. I know myself more than anything.”
Aside from Kim’s birthday celebration, the show welcomed Jona as the newest hurado of “Tawag ng Tanghalan.”
Jona was excited and nervous at the same time to be on the judges’ roster. “Parang nilo-look forward ko na sasakit yung ulo ko lalo pa na nasaksihan ko na yung galing nila. Lahat kayo magagaling but still isa lang ang tatanghalin na grand winner,” she said.
