Chin Chin gives a statement about incident in soap
By SHIRLEY MATIAS-PIZARRO
November 6, 2009, 3:33pm
It makes me sad to hear about what happened on the set of “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” involving Ms. Lorna Tolentino and Chin Chin Gutierrez. It makes me even sadder to hear about the repercussions of the said incident.
We heard that both actresses got hurt while acting on a confrontation scene, but from the looks of it, it was Ms. LT who got hurt more, emerging from the scene bruised and blue, losing a few strands of hair that got caught in Chin Chin’s ring. Chin Chin, for her part, had a bruised leg to show for the unfortunate “accident.”
Because of this, we have been told that LT, allegedly traumatized from the violent confrontation, is now having second thoughts about wanting to do a scene with Chin Chin again.
What Lorna feels bad about is that some people outside of the issue tend to be so quick to judge, saying that it was just a gimmick that they have concocted to drum up publicity for the top-rating soap opera on ABS-CBN. She was quoted as saying (to this effect), “I’ve been in this business for a long time now. I don’t need this kind of publicity stunt to be controversial. I don’t want this issue to escalate that’s why I refuse to talk about it.”
We spoke with our friend Anjie Ureta, Chin’s manager about this, and she told us that Chin Chin is very very sad about what happened and expresses her heartfelt apology to Ms. LT for the accident.
What pricked our heart is that she was even asking us for suggestions, any idea on how they can make things better for Lorna, an actress that Chin Chin has so much respect for, and how they can show her how bad they truly feel for being hurt in that scene.
She told me, “no one planned for that to happen. But to be sorry for something unintentional is not enough and somehow we know and we understand how Ms. LT must be feeling right now.”
Ms. LT is one of our most favorite superstars in this business because she is a very nice person. We always love being around her during the times we worked together on some publicity projects. On the other hand, Anjie and Chin have been our friends for decades now (especially Anjie) and we know them to be people with good hearts, very spiritual and very peace-loving.
We asked for a copy of Chin Chin’s statement and we’re printing it below in full. We can only pray that this matter will be put to rest and that love with prevail above all else.
November 5, 2009
It is in the spirit of peace, clarity and healing that we are now addressing the unfortunate accident involving our artist, Ms Chin-Chin Gutierrez, and Ms. Lorna Tolentino, which transpired while taping an episode of their television program last week. We reaffirm that the accident was purely unintentional and occurred in the presence of the location heads in-charge of production. She has sincerely apologized to Ms. Tolentino from the moment that she realized the resulting injury after the take and personally assisted her in seeking professionally advised first aid intervention. Recognizing that apologies may not be enough to console her respected colleague, Ms. Gutierrez had indeed sought Ms. Tolentino’s permission to pray together, trusting that the Divine Healer will not only soothe away the physical hurt but also whatever unseen wound in their relationship that may arise from the tense situation.
Ms. Gutierrez wishes to express: “With all humility, I wish to give the best thing I can give now -- to witness to the truth of fraternal love. Keeping peace and being peace are more important than raising my voice to clear my name. The well-being of Ms. Lorna Tolentino is foremost in my mind at the moment, equalled only by my concern for the program. I firmly believe it is Truth in Love that casts out all fear and makes all things new. I remain faithful to the inner goodness in every person shining through, which allows for the restoration of relationships through the graces of faith, forgiveness and prayer for one another.”
We thank everyone who has maintained understanding and sobriety in the face of this unfortunate accident. We share in the deeper aspiration of many voices, heard and unheard, that the matter finds its peaceful and just resolution.
Sincerely yours, Anjie Ureta Artist Manager representing Chin-Chin Gutierrez

My Chin Chin Gutierrez Defense (My Call for People to be Rational)
I have points that I want to stress out after I read a lot about this issue that stressed me out at some point as well. Baka kasi isipin ng mga tao, because hindi nag rereact pa si Ms. Chin Chin at kokonti lang kami na nagdedefend sa kanya e, pwede na ‘tong nangyayari. This is all exaggerated publicity trying to kill off or destroy Ms. Chin Chin Guttierez’s career. Who’d say that this is hallow assumption? Then, why the hell do you think this destructive publicity came out? Na lahat ng written article about this issue placed Ms. Chin Chin as the bad person who has gone mad?
I just have to say this, I used to respect LT. Now I don’t. I have lost all respect there is for her (as an actress or whatever she wants to place herself as). And that’s partly because of a few of her nagging fans who threw at Chin Chin insults that are below the belt as one Loranian had put it in defending her own idol.
In all Ms. Chin Chin’s life in showbiz, did something like this ever happen before? Nagreklamo ba yung mga nakaeksena nya at nasaktan sa run ng MSKM? Nagsalita ba si Chin Chin ever about herself being hurt? Did anyone ever hear her say a bad thing about anyone? Reality check, people. Objective ako na tao. Yes, I like Chin Chin (and I used to like LT), but it’s not going to be difficult for me to stop defending her if she had been all wrong at this. I’d be more than willing to keep my silence kung gano’n.
The truth is that she’s not at all like the person that the wrongful adjectives in the forum pertained her to be.
POINT #1: CALLING SOMEONE WEIRD BECAUSE YOU LACK UNDERSTANDING DOES NOT ELEVATE YOU FROM WHAT YOU TRULY ARE, THAT IS, IGNORANT.Calling Chin Chin “Krung-krung” or crazy is never anyone’s right. Kilalanin nyo muna yung tao bago nyo husgahan. Alamin nyo kung ano yung standpoint nya sa buhay at kung ano ang tingin nya sa iyo at baka mahiya ka sa sarili mo. The woman is beyond anyone. Her take on things are far more sensible than Lolit, Ricky Lo and any other tabloid writer with credibility cases on their laps.
I’m calling out as a human being, don’t judge when you don’t understand because the judge places himself/herself in the seat of ignorance for being arrogant to think that they are better off being a judge than a learner.
It’s Jesus Christ’s Golden Rule all over again.
POINT #2: The current issue is that Chin Chin OVERREACTED and INTENTIONALLY hurt LT, other people would say.
Baka masabi nyo na out of context ako. Alam ko po yung issue. Sabi sa mga article, nadala daw si Chin Chin sa eksena at tumodo yung pananakit nya. Kesyo di daw natanggal yung sing sing at nagkapasa si LT sa mamahalin nyang mukha (at may kalmot pa). Hindi po ako bulag sa issue. Nabasa ko yung mga pinopost dito na (mga) article ng mga members na gustong gawing malaking issue to at pag-awayin ang mga fans. At hindi ko idedeny na “gimik” lang ang take ko dito nung una and that there’s no truth in this. I still believe its gimik. But then, I am starting to believe na there’s some truth in this when I read somewhere na nag-sorry si Ms. Chin Chin.
After knowing somewhere na nag sorry daw siya and reading somewhere else that she has been mocked at her humility is just OUTRIGHT WRONG. Isipin nyo naman yung ginagawa ng mga writers na yun dun sa tao. If you had known her, being humble is one quality that she has that you will definitely admire. Never siya makikipagpataasan ng ihi with anyone. She’d say good things about other people. Only if you’d read more of her interviews on sensible magazines than reading those tabloid crap that has to use almost naked women on the cover for some petty 5 or 6 pesos.
Have you heard na lumaban siya? Did she even try to defend herself? Did she throw defensive comments to those biased writers? I have the answer. No. Nor she denied that she apologized. And showing humility is a point gained by her.
Next thing we heard is that she cried on what was written. I don’t know if there’s some truth to that. But again, if you had known her, (on my take) I believe that she’d come to that breaking point at some time. But did she call a press conference and cried at their faces to get people’s sympathy? Did she outright get herself interviewed to disprove LT’s accusation and complained about her “P.I”-ing her? Again, I have the answer. No. So far, she has been the one who faced this issue with dignity and grace, two qualities that are never a bad thing to possess.
I know someone who had been there during the shoot and I have unquestionable faith on her tale. She saw it happen; nung nag fail yung director to shout “Cut!”, nung nag fail ang production team to check on the actors before the fight scene and remind them to remove anything that would accidentally hurt their actors, nung nag fail sila to make the right call to stop the scene for safety’s sake.
To think, LT could always step back if she thought that the catfight scene was too much for her. Ano ba naman yung few films passed for her safety? Bad take? So what, safe naman yung mukha nya. If Chin Chin really did overreacted, I am sure na by LT stepping back for safety’s refuge, she’d come to her senses if it was too much.
And its crap to say na victim si LT dito. Chin Chin’s and her manager’s silence does not mean all the information that was out was taken correctly. Check out the sentence construction. Know the writers. Question the credibility of the papers and sites or blogs you read articles from. Be at least critical.
One thing that was written that offended me more was that na-weirduhan daw si LT nang nag pray si Chin Chin with her after she apologized. People who would agree that it’s really a weird thing to do does not have a spiritual foundation rooted correctly. People who would think that praying for you is weird but then being cursed is common is in a dark and twisted place. Mas gugustuhin ko naman na i-pray over ako ni Chin and bury this issue kesa sabihin ko na “OK lang ako” and “I forgive you” tapos maglalabas ako ng mga inconsistent comments sa press. After all, in the end, hindi naman pala OK lang lahat. It’s just wrong. Now, you should see bakit nila ginagawa ‘to kay Chin Chin.
The issue about “trauma” is just… I wouldn’t even honor it with a longer paragraph.
POINT #3: A WOMAN DOES NOT OBSCURE HER BEAUTY BY CALLING ATTENTION TO HER IMPERFECTIONS.
She talks to plants and trees.
So what?
I talk to my cats and dogs. I talk to a baby who coos and poops with no indication if I am even understood. I talk to God, not waiting for a reply or an indication that He is even listening. I talk to people like you, hoping to knock some sense out of your head. Our ancestors talked to Anito’s of wood and stone. We talk to images of Mama Mary and Jesus Christ. We talk to ourselves, even loudly at times.
How different is she to us?
Lolit and Co. should start talking to plants and trees also. It might save them a few bucks for psychiatric therapy and their attention-seeking behaviors. You are not the ones to destroy her trend of good reputation for being Time Magazine’s Asian Hero with this crap.
People are saying OA ang atake nya. Then stop writing something OA for her. Keep her out of contrabida roles if they think iisa lang ang atake niya sa role like what she did as Doña Corazon. Reinvent writing for her, magaling na artista yung tao. Sana nga she stayed in May Bukas Pa na lang kesa she was pulled out of it for DMII (which I am starting to dislike, dahil for me… it is becoming predictable and the flashback scenes are becoming too much of a formula. Wala pa akong napanood sa soap na ‘to na di ko pa nakita sa iba---I am entitled for my opinion on this one.).
If I don’t like Chin Chin that much, I wouldn’t even be watching that show. And if Rosalinda hadn’t been too distasteful, I would definitely be watching it. Mas gusto ko pa nga ang PBB as of now e. And yes, I must admit, if it wasn’t for Tessa and Patricia’s conflict, I really wouldn’t bother. Jaime is just too weak…
Back to my point, Chin Chin’s inner and outer beauty is never obscured by the faults other people find about her. You must know for one that other people could find thousand of wrong things about you and judge you for one mistake mercilessly but in the end, it is the contents of your heart that will be judged. Not by mere mortals who can get easily be lured out by wrong and malicious information, but by the God of truth and justice.
You’d hurt for her too if you know who Chin Chin Gutierrez really is.
I will end my entry as Ria has put it, “For the Battle is the Lord’s…” 1Sam 17:47. I’ll wait up for Ms. Chin Chin and her manager’s words on this. I now refuse to take in anymore of this crap.
Chin Chin won me over on this case, her grace and humility is admirable. Her silence over this is regal.
