Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador hugged each other when she learned that the latter would join the cast of ABS-CBN's primetime series, My Binondo Girl.
In an interview published on ABS-CBN News' website, Kim recalled their reaction when she and Maja learned about this development.
"Nagkita kami sa ASAP and nagsigawan kami kasi na-confirm na nga na papasok na siya sa My Binondo Girl. Nag-hug kami and hindi kami makapaniwala. Excited kami."
Kim was also quoted as saying: "Ang saya kasi dati, ang show lang na nagkikita kami is ASAP. Ngayon, aside from the normal na chikahan sa ASAP and tambay sa bahay nila, magkakasama pa kami sa work."
The young actress also pointed out, "Mas fun kasi nandito na rin si Matteo [Guidicelli] at yung iba pa. Mas masaya na kaming lahat."
Matteo is the boyfriend of Maja.
Kim reveals that it has always been her dream to work with Maja.
"Dati hindi pa ako artista, napapanood ko na siya. Pangarap ko siyang makasama kahit sa sayaw lang. Ngayon, magkakatapat na kami sa dramahan. OMG, hindi ko maisip!"
Kim says that she looks forward to learning from Maja while working on My Binondo Girl.
"Masaya kasi kakaibang experience. Kasi dati, ang trabaho lang namin na magkasama is kanta o sayaw sa ASAP. Ngayon, aktingan na."
