Funny how his name seems odd at first, but when fans hear "Chris Tiu!!!!" by the announcer every single fan girl roars with approval and of course the approval from their oogling eyes.

    He was a scoring machine in high school joining TY Tang and  Joseph Yeo leading Xavier school into 3 tiong lian championships. But nowadays he is simply known as a sweet shooting and sweet looking basketball player from Ateneo de Manila University. Girls cant get enough of this guy, and guys well... they cant get enough of questioning him, because lets face it... he does seem a little bit too perfect to the point that it doesn't seem fair anymore.

    he's  smart, athletic, religious, has a good personality, rich, responsible, i mean pretty much whatever category girls have out there for an ideal guy, this man will easily ace them all. Guys can only settle and think "there has to be something wrong with this guy." so is it even any wonder anymore that he has such a huge fan base. especially in the UAAP Men's Senior Basketball tournament, where school prides truly at its zenith, Tiu is one of the few people that actually get cheered by the opposing team, albeit mostly women. You can hear the screeching cheers for Tiu in the arena, at introduction, at every freethrow, every shot, basically everytime the announcer mentions "Chris Tiu".
My mind kinda goes a little bit on overdrive when Tiu gets hit hard, gets chipped, gets hit in face or something similar, because i imagine all the fan girl's reactions...

    1.) HOYYY!!! ANONG GINAGAWA MO!! ASAWA KO YAN!!!!! stay way from MY HUBBY!
    2.) NOOO!!! NOT THE FACE NOT THE FACE!!!!
    3.) oh my, did that hurt (as if she's talking to him), maybe a hug can cure it (even though Tiu's head was the one that got hit)
    4.) OI!! INSURED MUKHA NIYAN!!


or maybe some fan girl is trying to introduce her friend into the wonderful world of TIU - ism, she might have a reaction like...
"chris tiu ?? who is tha....... *finally sees which person her friend is pointing to* ....I LABSHUUU CHRIS!!!" *oogles*

some may even use his name just for the context.
something silly like, pikaTIU i choose you!!!

or something like i wanna TIUddy bear.

maybe make a song out of him,
"There's something about tiu now
I can't quite figure out
Everything he does is gorgeous
Everything he does is cute"

So here's my theory, i guess when God was giving out gifts for each and every person in the world, Chris was right at the very front of the crowd, holding a friggin' vacuum cleaner.
