Shock was written all over the face of Lucky Star Kim Rodriguez as she nervously stepped onto the stage of "Kapamilya, Deal Or No Deal" as the game show's July 26 celebrity player after the Lucky Wheel landed on her assigned briefcase, number 4
In a fun-filled introduction video, Kim reflected on the humble beginnings of her acting career, sharing how she started with small roles as a passerby or an extra in television series. She has since appeared in various projects, with her first lead role portraying a girl whose twin was a snake.
Aside from acting, Kim also developed a passion for riding big bikes and even underwent professional training under Philippine Superbike Champion Coach Dashi Watanabe. Living up to her fearless personality, she also takes pride in serving as a Philippine Navy Reservist.
Despite her initial nerves, the celebrity player later reflected on the success she has worked hard to achieve over the years. Taking a trip down memory lane, Kim shared that her accomplishments never fail to warm her heart as she recalled the hardships she faced early in her career, including sleeping by the gutter when she was still taking on bit parts. Grateful that aspiring talents are now treated better, she said, “Pero kaya nga nakakatuwa ngayon, kasi nga ‘yung mga talent ngayon naka-aircon na rin sila ha.”
When asked what she would do with the coveted ₱1 million jackpot prize, Kim revealed that she would use the money to help three street children recover from a fire along NIA Road that destroyed most of their belongings. Of all the briefcases she has ever held, briefcase number 4 felt like the one God had chosen for her, prompting her to keep her assigned briefcase for the rest of her eventful game.
