Maria Carminia Lourdes Cynthia Gutierrez[1], better known as Chin Chin Gutierrez, is a Filipino actress and environmentalist.Her mother, 54-year-old former Franciscan nun who served in Italy, Cecilia, gave Gutierrez her birth name “Carminia,” which is the flower of the Sacred Heart, and her nickname “Chin-Chin,” which is Italian for “cheers.”

She starred as Maria Clara in National Artist Eddie Romero’s TV miniseries Noli Me Tangere in 1992, in acclaimed director Gil M. Portes’ Mourning Girls in 2005, and on the very popular ABS-CBN television drama Maging Sino Ka Man.

She lost her mother in a fire that consumed their old house.

Twice awarded as one of the finest actresses in Asia, CHIN-CHIN GUTIERREZ has become equally renowned in the entire region for her work as an advocate for the environment.
