Kris Aquino may have been hired as Netflix Philippines’ C.H.I.K.A. (Chief Head of Insights and Kontent Analysis), but in the third and final episode of the campaign, she proves she can take matters into her own hands -- even in the editing room.
Wrapping up her first day as C.H.I.K.A., Kris found herself in front of the computer, ready to put her own creative spin on Netflix’s local offerings.
“Ang sipag at sobrang fast learner talaga ng coworker kong si C.H.I.K.A. Kris 😍 she's Krissifying my watch list of new and upcoming local releases in Episode 3!” Netflix Philippines wrote in the episode’s caption.

The latest episode picks up from the unexpected ending of Episode 2, when Kris and editor Earljohn experienced an earthquake and sudden blackout.
Since Kris had previously told Earljohn to go home, she was surprised to discover that he actually followed her instructions literally. With the electricity back, Kris decided there was no reason to waste time.
“Oh, well. Sayang ang time. I think I'm going to try to edit more content before I go home,” she said
And so, C.H.I.K.A. Kris got to work.
Her first project was Call Me Mother, where Twinkle celebrates her son Angelo’s birthday. For Kris, however, the scene needed a little more bonggacious energy.
“Twinkle naman. Birthday party ng anak mo 'to, dapat bonggacious,” she said.
With a few clicks, Kris transformed the simple celebration into a full-blown party, complete with party hats, a bigger cake, confetti, and even a waterpark setting.
“O, 'di ba? Ang happy!” Kris exclaimed.

She then moved on to Shake Rattle and Roll: Evil Origins, where her experience with horror films apparently came in handy.
Kris took one look at the scene and decided that something was missing.
“It's not nakakatakot enough. I think it needs more red,” she observed, before adding a fiery red backdrop to the scene. “Lume-level sa mga horror movie ko.”

From horror, Kris shifted to admiration mode when she saw Piolo Pascual looking every bit the title of Manila’s Finest.
“Ang gwapo talaga ni Papa P. Siya talaga ang Manila's Finest,” she noted.
Naturally, Kris does not stop at a compliment. She gave Piolo a heavenly treatment, adding angelic clouds, a heaven-like backdrop, and actual angels to the scene.
“Hay, goodness. Date tayo,” she said with a laugh.
Her final editing assignment was Netflix Philippines’ Ganito, Ganyan, at Ganoon, where Jodi Sta. Maria appears alone and seemingly lonely inside a car. Kris immediately decided that Jodi needs some company.
“Kawawa naman si Jodi, mukha siyang lonely. Don't worry, I'll give you company,” she said.
But Kris’ creativity got a little too creative when, a few clicks later, Jodi suddenly finds herself riding a bumper car.
“Oh my gosh. Ano'ng nagawa ko? Jodi, I got carried away, sorry,” Kris admitted.
At least, as Kris pointed out, Jodi is no longer alone.

After putting her personal touches on the different titles, Kris gave them her official seal of approval. “All of these are Kris Aquino-approved. Watch na! Buksan na ang Netflix!”
At the end of the episode, she called Earljohn to share the good news. “Earljohn! I'm so proud. Marunong na ako mag-edit. Bilang bagong bestie ko, marunong ka mag-zipline?”
The question is a fitting Kris Aquino moment, especially given her previous experience riding the first-ever roller coaster zipline in Asia.
For the final episode of the three-part campaign, Kris once again brings her signature humor, spontaneous reactions, and unmistakable personality to the screen, this time proving that while her C.H.I.K.A. job description may not have included editing, she certainly was capable of doing it all.
Netizens likewise enjoyed seeing Kris take control of the editing room, with many praising the comedic twists she brought to each scene.
“Hindi ko kinakaya yung mga edit mo madam 😭 HAHAHAHAHAHA,” one commented on Instagram.
“Importante talga ang editing! 🔥😂,” another wrote.
“BWHAHAHHA Love you madam @krisaquino you never fail to make me smile, talaga 🫶🏻💖,” another added.
The third episode serves as the finale of Netflix Philippines’ three-part C.H.I.K.A. promotional campaign, which marked Kris’ much-awaited return to the screen.
