As
@chinitaprincess marks her 20th year in showbiz, she reflects on a journey defined by hard work and resilience. From introducing herself as the โChinita Princessโ of Cebu to becoming a multi-hyphenate queen, Kim believes that lifeโs fair share of ups and downs is exactly what has made her truly blessed and empowered.
Looking back, she said, โIโm proud of myself today for standing up despite all the challenges being thrown at me.โ
Kim, who has had over 30 covers with METRO throughout the years, reunites with the publication for a summer special in celebration of her milestones as both a woman and an artist. Captured against the sun-kissed shores of Pico de Loro Cove and Santelmo Cove in Batangas, Kim effortlessly embodies the spirit of a true โchampion.โ Read more about her story of evolution and transformation via the link in our bio or visit Metro.Style.
