KIM CHIU’S RESPONSE
Kim Chiu sent this private message to the Cebu Daily News Twitter account in response to a CDN report about her rude behavior when she refused the request of a CDN staff to have her photo taken while she was at the Cebu Memorial Park (Cempark) to visit her mother’s grave on Nov. 1.
This is reprinted as is: “hi im familiar with the face of the “girl” who asked my dad yesterday… she can just ask for a picture, its fine with me.. but she asked for an interview, i still have to ask permision sa manager ko kasi all they know is im in my private vacation.. picture is fine.. its super ok. i accommodate a lot of times yesterday, so please get your fact straight.. dont make up stories…”
(Note: the CDN editor did not ask for an interview, only to take her photo. That was why she told a woman, presumably her aide, to tell the CDN editor to “grab the photo from IG (instagram),” which we did.)
VISITS DURING SLEEP
A family in Cebu City has been consistently visiting their departed loved ones at the cemetery every year.
Aside from getting a chance to spend time with other relatives, the head of the family said they’ve made it their tradition to visit the cemetery together since his father “visits” him in his sleep whenever they fail to do so.
NO TV FOR NOVEMBER
A teenage boy was overheard telling his mother he hated this time of the year as TV stations usually airs horror movies or horror-themed shows.
The boy said he’d rather not watch TV at all in November.
His mother gladly accepted the suggestion, saying that would be good for their electricity bill.
