Actress and TV host Kim Chiu has long been making a name for herself, not only in the local entertainment industry but also internationally.
Kim’s recent accomplishments, including her role as the feisty Juliana in the hit drama Linlang and her portrayal of the hard-working Kimberly Liwanag in the Philippine adaptation of the K-drama What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, highlight her versatility as an artist.
While she continues to be one of the most sought-after actresses in the country, Chiu has achieved another milestone in her career by being named the Tanduay Calendar Girl 2025.
Her new role was unveiled during Tanduay’s grand event at the Lucio K. Tan, Jr. Center in Pasay City on Nov. 20, where she appeared in an ethereal white outfit, exuding the essence of a modern goddess. Chiu also delivered an energizing performance that showcased her superb dancing skills and captivating presence.
Speaking about the honor, Chiu shared with Manila Standard Entertainment that the news initially came as a surprise.
“I asked myself if I was ready to do this because a lot of people knew me since my time at the Pinoy Big Brother house. Since I grew up before everyone’s eyes, I figured it was about time for me to take on something like this,” she said.
Chiu added that becoming the Tanduay Calendar Girl 2025 was empowering for her, marking a significant moment in her life and career—one she never anticipated achieving.
“I believe that this is a testament to how much I’ve grown and how far I’ve come, not only as an artist and an individual but most especially as a woman,” Chiu expressed.
She further noted that this new role symbolizes the possibility of pursuing dreams and thriving.
“This milestone for me is not only about being a calendar girl but also about embracing your confidence and celebrating every step of your journey,” she added.
The 2025 calendar features Chiu in various goddess-inspired layouts, highlighting her beauty, grace, and confidence—qualities she has become known for.

Lucio Tan Group and Tanduay Distillers, Inc. president Lucio C. Tan III explained why Chiu was the perfect choice for the role.
“For decades, the Tanduay Calendar Girl has symbolized strength, beauty, and confidence, inspiring people across generations. She represents more than a role—it’s a statement of resilience and empowerment, qualities that resonate deeply with our market and our brand,” he said.
He added, “This moment also reflects Tanduay’s incredible journey—a proud 170-year story of craftsmanship and innovation. So, let us raise a toast—to our new Tanduay Calendar Girl and to the continued success of Tanduay. May we honor our legacy while continuing to innovate, inspire, and empower.”
