She reflected on their decade-long bond, thanking Haidee for seeing her at both her strongest and weakest moments and for always putting Kim's needs above her own.
"Pag umiyak ako, iiyak ka rin. Pag masaya ako, masaya ka rin. Lagi mo akong inuuna, laging ako ang iniisip mo, kahit minsan nakakalimutan mo na ang sarili mo. Ang dami na nangyari, ate. Salamat talaga sa buhay mo," Kim even wrote.
Kim also took the time to praise Haidee’s professional resilience and work ethic. Describing her as a "trooper," Kim shared that Haidee is always able to find a way to get the job done, no matter the location. Whether they are in a public restroom, inside a car, or on the side of a street, Haidee’s dedication to her craft never wavers.
The post quickly became a space for shared love and appreciation, as some of Kim’s closest friends in the industry joined the celebration. Angelica Panganiban (@iamangelicap) commented with a sweet "Happy birthday, Ate Haidz," while Bela Padilla (@bela) added, "We love ate Haidz!"
Kim Chiu is a Filipina actress, television host, and singer who rose to fame after winning Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition in 2006. She is widely known in local showbiz as the “Chinita Princess.” After her PBB victory, she became one of ABS-CBN’s top actresses and starred in hit teleseryes such as Sana Maulit Muli, My Girl, Ina, Kapatid, Anak, and Love Thy Woman. Aside from acting, she is also one of the hosts of It’s Showtime.
As previously reported by KAMI, Kim Chiu shared a sentimental Instagram post to celebrate her niece Rainey’s 17th birthday. The actress expressed her disbelief at how quickly time has passed, seeing her "Baby Lenlen" grow into a beautiful woman. She promised to always be there for Rainey, regardless of what "new era" or personal style she chooses to embrace. The tribute featured a series of photos Kim and Rainey took.
Meanwhile, Kim Chiu was affectionately called a "lakambini" by Jackie Gonzaga during their opening for 'It's Showtime.' Earlier, Darren Espanto teased the Kapamilya star about her 'branding' which led to Kim talking about the 'SONA' briefly. In the video, Kim was spotted sporting a vibrant yellow Filipiniana-like dress for the program. The actress' reaction, however, after being called a "lakambini" has since stirred online buzz.
