Held on May 15, 2024, in San Juan, Batangas, the swimwear-themed event became Chie's latest catwalk to flaunt her figure.

ON NOT DEPRIVING HER BODY
As one of the ambassadors for Star Magic Hot Summer 2024, Chie gives her full commitment to the role by following a more disciplined diet.
"Siguro for the event, I really cut down on sugar. Carbs kung kaya."
But she notes, "...don't deprive your body of what it needs."
This mindful approach to nutrition not only ensures her health, but also supports the demands of her professional engagements.
"Kasi eto, ginagawa lang naman namin siya if may mga importanteng shoot na kailangan mukha kaming tuyo," she mentions.
"That is the industry, yun yung ano sa industry. So, parang makakatulong din tayo sa mga photogs, sa mga nagtatrabaho kung you'll take care of yourself also."
Extending beyond controlling her food consumption, the It's Showtime performer also retains her workout routine: "I do weights and pilates to distribute the muscles.
"I've been doing it na. Nagiging consistent din ako, pero syempre, may mga times na we will lack, as in, talagang matatamad tayo.
"Pero, kailangan mo lang kumbisihin yung sarili mo talaga, e, na you have a goal in life so kailangan mong kumilos.
"Kasi wala namang kikilos for you, e, to have like, a good life, also a good body, a good physique, healthy inside and out."

ON CHIE'S TINY WAIST
Now at 27, Chie has already anchored her health and fitness routine to one that is compatible with her body.
She no longer consults with doctors or health professionals when it comes to diet because she has already done a good deal of experimentation in the past: "Actually, no. Kasi naging trial and error na rin siya."
She clarifies: "So, napagdaanan ko na din yung point na tubig lang ako, ganito, ganon. Soup, yung broth, something.
"So, napagdaanan ko na din yun, and it's, hindi siya for me. Alam ko, iba-iba tayo ng diet. But that's not for me.
"I give my body what it needs. Kasi I'm already petite. And so, I really have a fast metabolism. So, thank you po sa parents ko. Mine-maintain ko lang siya."
Chie adds that more than nitpicking on new techniques to attain her optimal health, she channels her energy on maintaining the regimen she currently follows.
"Yun yung mahirap, actually, mag-maintain. Yun, consistency. Yun yung mahirap din [to] be consistent," she admits.
"But yeah, if you're surrounded by people na who trust you and na kaya mong gawin lahat, you can do it."
On Chie's figure—particularly the waistline that easily becomes the talk of the town every time she flexes it—she graciously acknowledges genetics as the primary factor.
"21 inches po ata," she says of her current waistline.
"Pero...pag diet talaga, healthy diet, na as in wala talagang junk food or anything, nagiging 20 inches sya."
Continuing, she bashfully laughs, "Anong tip ko? Well, guys, I am so sorry. I'm just really blessed na yung mommy ko, maliit din yung bewang.
"Pero kasi lahat kami petite. So talagang mine-maintain ko na lang siya kasi ayoko mag-mukha lang na payat.
"Gusto ko magmuka din tayong healthy kasi, um, like, I wanna be an image for the petite girls.
"And whatever your gender is, I wanna be a face for the petite kasi alam ko kung gaano kahirap maging petite din."
Finally, from 1 to 10, Chie rates her health condition beyond the scale with a whopping 11.
"My health would be 11 cause I'm happy inside out," she confidently expresses.
"So and saka yung mga, yung atmosphere and yung work environment natin ngayon. It's different."
