“Weekly? Try Daily!” – Kim Chiu Breaks the Internet with Paulo Avelino Tease Amidst Charity Launch
If there is one thing Kim Chiu knows how to do, it’s commanding the spotlight with grace and a touch of mischief. The Chinita Princess is currently trending across social media platforms, but this time, it’s a double whammy: a heartwarming philanthropic gesture and a cheeky one-liner that has the “KimPau” fandom in a frenzy.
While the actress is making headlines for clearing out her designer wardrobe for a cause, it was an off-script moment on live TV that truly stole the show.

The “Slip” Heard ‘Round the World’
During a recent on-air segment, co-hosts decided to put Kim on the hot seat, playfully grilling her about her rumored romance with actor Paulo Avelino. When teased about having “weekly dates” with the notoriously private actor, Kim didn’t just dodge the question—she volleyed it back.
With her signature laugh, she casually corrected them: “Daily dates.”
Was it a slip of the tongue? A joke? or a soft launch of the truth?
Naturally, Twitter (X) and TikTok erupted. Clips of the interaction are circulating wildly, with fans analyzing her body language and tone. While neither star’s management has confirmed an official relationship, this playful banter serves as plenty of fuel for the “KimPau” fire. It’s a masterclass in celebrity PR: keep them guessing, keep them smiling.
Fashion for a Cause: The Kim Chiu Closet Bazaar 2026
Beyond the romance rumors, Kim is proving yet again why she is one of the industry’s most beloved figures. The actress has officially opened the Kim Chiu Closet Bazaar 2026, turning her fashion influence into tangible aid for those in need.
Located at Paldo Restaurant in Quezon City, the pop-up event runs daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM through early February.
Why is this a big deal?
-
Accessibility: Unlike many celebrity auctions that fetch thousands of dollars, Kim has priced her items for the people. Fans can snag pre-loved pieces, including famous OOTDs seen on her Instagram, for as low as ₱50 (approx. $0.90 USD) up to ₱2,000.
-
100% Charity: Kim emphasized that every single peso earns goes directly to her charitable advocacies.
The “Quiet Philanthropist”
While the “daily dates” comment grabs the click-bait headlines, long-time followers know this bazaar is just another chapter in Kim’s book of giving. Sources close to the actress and eagle-eyed fans have noted that for over a decade, Kim has quietly funded community drives, church donations, and relief efforts without calling media attention to herself.
One viral comment on the bazaar’s announcement post summed it up perfectly: “We came for the tea on Paulo, but we stayed for the heart of Kim. She doesn’t just act the part of an idol; she lives it.”
The Verdict?
Whether she’s seeing Paulo Avelino daily, weekly, or just professionally, one thing is certain: Kim Chiu is winning 2026 right out of the gate. She’s feeding the fans with the kilig (thrill) they crave while simultaneously feeding communities through her charity work.
For fans in the Philippines, the queue at Paldo Restaurant is getting long. For global fans, we’ll just have to keep refreshing our feeds for the next “slip-up” about those daily dates.
