Chinita Princess Kim Chiu recently became the talk of town when she turned her viral ‘sa classroom may batas’ analogy, into a witty but clapback song for her bashers.
The classroom comparison from the Chinita Princess got a variety of reactions from netizens, but most of them made fun of it, where it even came to a point that some claimed that what she said was incomprehensible.
After almost two weeks of silence, Chiu then released the music video of “Bawal Lumabas: The Classroom Song.”
This caused netizens, celebrities, and various personalities, to praise Kim Chiu who kept her cool despite being poked fun at in the past few days.
Her supporters included Fashion Icon Heart Evangelista and Sorsogon City Governor Chiz Escudero, who showed their support on their respective social media accounts.
Escudero praised Kim for knowing how to turn ‘lemons into lemonade’, “This how to handle and do it!!! Congrats @prinsesachinita You just showed everybody how to turn lemons into lemonade!!! Kudos to you!!!”
