Taperia said when they first heard the shots, he assumed they were happening behind them. “Then we realized we were the ones being shot at,” he said.

The assailants, who reportedly were wearing black helmets, fled towards Commonwealth Ave. Chiu was unharmed, and even proceeded to go to work despite being left shaken by the incident. Her driver said she has no known enemies.

Chiu, 29, is one of ABS-CBN’s biggest stars, and became famous after winning the first edition of the reality show Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition.
