Recently, in an episode of the Visayan mainstream talk show Kuan On One with Melai Cantiveros, Kim Chiu revealed how she handles heartbreaks. According to the actress, she’s not the person who will go out and let people see that she’s crying.

“Meron kasing nagsabi sa akin, na huwag kong dalhin ‘yung personal kong problema sa harap ng maraming tao. Kasi, hindi naman ako ma-explain ang sarili ko kung anong nangyayari sa akin, ang i-explain ko sa’yo ‘Uy, etong nangyari sa akin,” the actress said.

Kim Chiu further explained that there are a lot of people watching TV and she cannot explain herself so she would rather keep it to herself.

“Kunwari sa showtime, tatlong oras lang ‘yan, tatlong oras lang na tawanan, may 24 hours sa isang araw so puwede na akong bumalik sa sarili ko, ganyan hindi ko dadalhin ang problema sa trabaho,” she said.

Meanwhile, during the interview, Kim expressed that showing some vulnerability sometimes is also fine. She stressed that it is important to also have someone to talk to to keep your sanity. She believes that experience is the best teacher.

“I-feel mo lang tapos hindi mo-ideny, hindi mo i-kuan tanggapin mo na ganun talaga ang nangyari hindi mo kasalanan, hindi rin kasalanan nung lalaki or ng kahit sino, walang may kasalanan. Nangyari lang talaga siya,” the actress expressed.
