One wrote: "Looooved the leading ladies prod! May questions lang sa ibang billing like Francine should've been with Belle and Andrea. Then si Janine and Lovi dapat ang partner. And si Kim yung solo dapat before Kath and Julia. This is just my take. Hahaha."
Then someone reacted: "sa mga nakaraang ganaps, lagi talagang may mali sa billing ni kim chiu. buti hindi nagtatampo ang fans."
Another interjected: "As a casual viewer, may mali talaga. She is already the Kim Chiu...ayoko na ituloy alam na nila yan."
"We are not trying to be nega here pero this is not the first time na rin kasi. Medyo sensitive din ako pagdating sa mga ganito kasi unfair talaga for her knowing her contributions to the network. Homegrown pa yan ha. Kim Chiu wasn't called the teleserye princess for nothing," the same netizen added.
Kim, meanwhile, reposted the said last tweet, writing: "It is what it is. (woman shrugging emoji)."
On the other hand, an online user called out ABS-CBN, Star Magic Philippines, and Darla Sauler over it.
"@ABSCBN @darLasauLer @starmagicphils
"@darLasauLer -since u are the head writer-very obvious na may FAVE ka
"Sana i-consider mo lahat ng factors bago ka mag decide sa billing such as popularity, bankability, achievements & years of service
"Gawin sayo iyan - Ayaw mo din dba?"
The said post prompted Kim to react, saying: "I think billing is not as important, di rin naman lalaki TF mo if ikaw yun una, huli or gitna. Bastat may trabaho ako okay na po ako dun. Salamat sa ABSCBN sa mga opportunities na binibigay nila sa akin. Kahit saan nila ako ilagay okay lang naman po sa akin. still #grateful.
Kim also replied "Lets see how far long I can……" when someone told her: "You have remained humble kaya ka pinagpapala. But sana naman, di abusuhin ng mga tao ang kagandahan ng iyong puso. Basta kaming mga fans mo at casual viewers, alam namin ang TUNAY MONG TRONO. Sana lang MAS PAHALAGAHAN ka pa nila."
