I. Introduction: The Unshakeable Power of the KimPau Fandom

The tandem of Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino, affectionately dubbed “KimPau,” remains one of the most talked-about pairings in Philippine showbiz. Their chemistry and the success of their latest project, The General’s Daughter (Di ‘Alibay), have made them constant subjects of online buzz—and persistent bashing.

The latest fan update comes from the KimPau fan community, where support is running high despite continuous negativity. The report covers the unwavering loyalty of the fan base, addresses rumors regarding their relationship, and highlights a critical appeal from the production team for fans to stream their work legally.

II. Defending the Duo: Addressing the ‘Cooling Off’ Rumors

The fan community recently rallied against rumors suggesting that Paulo Avelino’s enthusiasm for Kim Chiu was “cooling off.” These rumors were promptly and emphatically dismissed by the dedicated fan base, who insisted that the negative talk is merely the work of detractors (“bashers”).

Two prominent fans, Ms. Edita Depositar and Ms. Norma Dayag, voiced their strong opinions, defending the couple’s bond and career choices.

Ms. Depositar rejected the idea that the couple’s interactions were anything but genuine, stating: “Dears, I am not worried with what this bashers [say] to KimPau. Truly, if Pau is sleepy, he won’t pretend… Calm down, bashers is bashers. They won’t eat if they don’t bash.” She emphasized the need to “stick to KimPau” and focus on the positive energy they share.
Ms. Dayag shared a more strategic view, suggesting that negative issues and “twists” are part of the showbiz mechanism designed to attract more viewers. She countered the notion of Avelino’s detachment, asserting: “Paulo is extremely hot for Kim Chiu. That is the truth because Paulo Avelino never wants to be separated from Kim Chiu.”

The fan report emphatically reiterated this defense, arguing that Avelino’s actions—such as seeking out Kim Chu even after a few minutes of separation—prove the depth and heat of their relationship. The message to the community is clear: do not be swayed by rumors; the truth of KimPau’s bond is undeniable and growing “deeper.”

III. Behind the Scenes: Kim Chiu’s Latest Ventures

Amidst the fan commentary, the report provided a glimpse into Kim Chiu’s busy schedule, sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes (BTS) content from her latest endorsement shoot—a commercial for Shopee.

The footage reportedly featured Kim Chu alongside industry heavyweights Vice Ganda and Jose Mari Chan. The report highlighted Kim’s stunning appearance, describing her as a “princess” carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers, suggesting that her professional life continues to thrive independently of the love team narrative.

IV. The Plea for Legal Streaming: Director Jojo Saguin’s Appeal

A significant portion of the fan update focused on a critical appeal made by Director Jojo Saguin concerning Di ‘Alibay. The director urged all fans to watch the project through legal means, specifically referencing the paid platform Prime Video.

Director Saguin’s message was an emotional appeal to the KimPau community:

“My KimPau fans, literal blood and sweat were spent by all of us to make this project. Please, watch legally. I beg of you. If you are true KimPau, don’t watch illegally. You pay more expensive than the P149 on Prime [for illegal streams].”

The director’s plea highlights the financial and artistic integrity at stake. The production team, including Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino, poured immense effort into the series, and illegal streaming directly undercuts their hard work and compensation.

The KimPau community quickly took up the director’s call. They theorized that those watching illegally are likely not true fans but “bashers” intentionally trying to destroy and spoil the series. The fan report strongly admonished any illegal activity, reminding supporters that illegal streams are detrimental to the series’ success and are not considered true support. The message to fans facing login issues with Prime Video was to “keep trying repeatedly until you can access it” rather than resorting to illegal sites.

V. The Current Status: Rest and Resilience

The update concluded by addressing the public silence of the couple on a recent Monday. The report explained that the silence was not due to any relationship friction but was a necessary period of rest.

Given the current severe weather conditions in the country—heavy rains and the threat of a typhoon—the couple was advised to “stay safe” indoors. This was particularly warranted as Kim Chiu had been spotted at a previous event on Sunday, braving the weather for a Bill East event.

The pause in social media activity underscores the fact that like all individuals, even the most popular celebrities must prioritize their safety and well-being, especially during inclement weather. The fans were urged to remain calm and respect the couple’s much-needed rest after their demanding schedule.
