Kim Chiu releases her statement about the van shooting, “I dont have an idea what really happened, mistaken identity? I guess?? Napag tripan?”

Hours after the said incident, actress Kim Chiu released a statement about the recent van shooting that involved her and her team earlier today, March 4.

Accompanied by a series of photos from her van, the actress wrote on Facebook, “A lot of you have been texting and calling. [I] can't answer right now [but] thank you for checking on me, it means a lot.

“Yes, I am safe po. I'm ok and my P.A. and my driver as well. Papa Jesus protected us.

“I don't have any idea of what really happened. Mistaken identity, I guess? Napag-tripan?”

She then recalled the incident and felt relieved that her seat wasn't erect during the said shooting.

“[At] 6 am on my way to taping, I was asleep inside my car and then I heard several gunshots--8 to be exact.

“I was shocked and asked my driver what happened, then I saw this bullet on the windshield where my head is laying.

“Buti nakahiga ako, paano kung tinuloy ko magbasa ng script?

“I was so scared, I don't know what to feel right now. Wala naman akong kaaway o kaatraso.”

At the end of the day, she feels grateful that she is safe amidst the commotion that happened earlier.

“Kung sino man ang gumawa nito, Diyos na ang bahala sa inyong dalawa. Sana tiningnan niyo muna ang plate number bago n'yo paulanan ng bala 'yung kotse ko.

“But at the end of the day, inisip ko na lang walang nasaktan sa amin. God protected us. Salamat po," she concluded.


According to the developing report, the shooting happened at the corner of Katipunan Avenue and C.P. Garcia Avenue in Quezon City.

Two gunmen were reported to be onboard a motorcycle.
