Embodying Strength and Beauty, Kim Chiu Exudes the Aura of a Modern Goddess as Tanduay Calendar Girl 2025




Award-winning actress, TV host, and fashion icon Kim Chiu is the latest high-profile celebrity to be chosen as the iconic Tanduay Calendar Girl. The Chinita Princess was unveiled as the brand’s Calendar Girl for 2025 in a grand event production themed, “Aura” held at the Lucio K. Tan, Jr. Center in Pasay City.

“As we approach the close of another year, this annual tradition has become a highlight for many Filipinos. The announcement of the Tanduay Calendar Girl sparks excitement and anticipation, igniting curiosity and friendly speculation. Tonight, we celebrate not just an iconic campaign, but a legacy of empowerment, artistry, and values that define who we are at Tanduay,” said President of the Lucio Tan Group and Tanduay Distillers, Inc., Lucio C. Tan III.

                       


“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,” Tan added.

Like Tanduay which has evolved and remained relevant since it was first introduced to the public in 1854, Ms. Kim Chiu has evolved as a reality star to become one of her generation’s best artists, conquering the worlds of television and the movies.

“It is a privilege to represent a brand that embodies my own ideals, which are quality and confidence. We Filipinos know how Tanduay has been providing us with the best rums for decades, and now the whole world also knows about it. Tanduay is also a brand that has withstood the test of time. 170 years na siya, pero patuloy pa rin siyang gumagawa ng quality products (It’s now on its 170th year, and it still continues to make quality products) and it just keeps on improving,” said Chiu.

Chiu entered the entertainment industry through ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, where she emerged as its first-ever winner. She then appeared in numerous TV series, where she wowed the public with her acting prowess. Most recently, Kim appeared in the top-rating drama series Linlang, which was followed by another blockbuster romantic comedy series, a Philippine adaptation of South Korea’s What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?






For Chiu’s unveiling, the stage was filled with a configuration of stars on LED walls. Guests were asked to come in outfits that represent their own aura and were treated to a stunning visual display where Chiu was presented as a modern goddess.

Chiu then took the stage as the goddess-inspired layouts of her 2025 calendar were flashed on the screen.

“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,” Tan said.

DITO Extends Support to Typhoon Kristine Victims

 In response to the recent wraths caused by typhoon Kristine, DITO Telecommunity provided technological and funding support to communities heavily affected by the recent calamity. 


Through DITO's platform Galing DITO CampX, a school caravan program aimed at empowering students with the company's digital products and services. DITO, in partnership with Batangas State University (BSU), recently held a school concert featuring Galing DITO ambassadors and Pinoy pop boy group Alamat. Ticket sales amounting to Php 250,000 were donated to "PB is UNITED, PB is ONE for Batangas," BSU's fundraising campaign, to support immediate relief efforts such as essential supplies, temporary shelters, food packs, and other rebuilding efforts.

Part of the proceeds also went to the construction of a Multi-Faith Chapel, supporting BSU's initiative towards creating a space for unity and reflection around the school campus. 

"At DITO, we believe in the strength of community and the power of coming together in times of adversity," said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business. "Our hearts go out to those affected by typhoon Kristine, and through this event and our other efforts, we aim to bring relief and hope to those in need. This is also our way of standing in solidarity with the Filipino people, showing that we're here to extend a helping hand when challenges arise," Jimenez added.

During the Galing DITO CampX, BSU students also had the chance to enjoy interactive booths and learn more about DITO's mobile prepaid, postpaid, and home products, including other over-the-top (OTT) services.

"The typhoon left devastated hearts, but on the other hand, we're glad to see the ‘Bayanihan’ spirit and strong community resilience, especially in the eyes of the students. We're also thankful for DITO's support; it increased the morale of our students, and the funds provided essential support to the victims of the typhoon," said Ran Drick Kenneth Umali, SSC President of BSU. 




BSU students were all smiles during the school caravan.



The Galing DITO CampX also recently went to Ateneo De Davao University, giving students access to non-stop entertainment and an opportunity to learn more about DITO's mobile and home products that suit their needs. 


Enhanced technological support in Naga City 



Meanwhile, in Naga City, DITO also provided technological support to aid the relief operations of typhoon Kristine's aftermath. 


DITO supported the local government by providing mobile phones with SIM cards and load, which call line operators used. DITO also deployed several booths with free calls, WiFi access, and charging stations in Barangay Dayangdang, Lerma, and Triangulo. 

Moreover, the local team also conducted immediate speed and network assessment, ensuring smooth and augmented network signals around the city. 


"In times of crisis, connectivity is essential for emergency response and families to stay connected with their loved ones. We extended technological support in Naga City, ensuring reliable communication and internet access. We hope that these humble contributions aided relief efforts and facilitated efficient communication around the city," Jimenez said.
