Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla recalled that she was on her way to the taping of Love Thy Woman when Kim Chiu’s car was shot eight times by the unidentified gunmen.
Zsa Zsa was relieved to hear that Kim, her driver, and her personal assistant were safe.
Shocked. On my way to taping and stuck in traffic because of incident. https://t.co/4N5P9KdGhv

The seasoned actress then expressed her worry about public safety.
She said: “Relieved our baby girl Kim Chiu is safe and everyone inside van were all spared from being hit by bullets. But how safe are we when we get out into the streets? Ganyan na ba talaga ngayon, Pilipinas?”

Zsa Zsa’s tweet has garnered almost 2,000 likes and 337 retweets but there were netizens who disagreed with the question she raised. Some of the commentators mentioned that these celebrities suddenly became worried about the welfare of Filipinos when they themselves faced danger.
Ilang taon ka na bang tulog? Saan ka ba nakatira sa ilalim ng bato, kweba? Ganyan ang artista walang pakialam sa bayan pero kung sila ang tinamaan akala mo makabayan

Another good example ng kulturang pinoy…mag react lang at makakaramdam pag sila na ang mabibiktima.

Matagal ng hindi safe. Nagkataon lang na sikat na artista ang biktima kaya it generated so much publicity.

Nakikinig po ba kayo ng balita? Madami na pong nabiktima ng mistaken identity, nanlaban, collateral damage at riding-in-tandem. Talamak mula ng 2016.

ABS-CBN is now working to fight for justice for what happened to Kim Chiu. In its official statement, the giant network also expressed gratitude for authorities for quickly responding to the incident.
