Maria Carminia Lourdes Cynthia Arnaldo Gutierrez (born August 22, 1969 in Manila, Philippines), better known as Chin-Chin Gutierrez, is a Filipino actress and environmentalist.

Carminia Lourdes Cynthia Arnaldo Gutierrez is the daughter of botanist Dr. Hermes Gutierrez and painter Cecilia Arnaldo. She is the niece of former LVN star Lita Gutierrez.

College: Miriam College in a bachelor's degree of Communication Arts. She was enrolled in a combined MA/PhD program in Organizational Development (major in Transformative Spirituality) at the Southeast Asian Interdisciplinary Development Institute (SAIDI), recently completing the same.

Gutierrez is the founding chair and president of the ecological foundation Alaga LAHAT, which she created in 2006. This organization is a member of the Eco-Waste Coalition. Previous to having her own group, she was also a founding member and officer of Mother Earth Foundation.

A vegetarian, she starred in an ad for PETA ASIA-PACIFIC in which she said that "fish are friends, not food".

In late 2003, Gutierrez released, after two years in the making, an album of her versions of lullabies from around the Philippine archepelago, in around half a dozen languages and dialects, including Kalinga, Waray, Cebuano, Tagalog and others. The album, "UYAYI: A Collection of Philippine Lullabies", was the result of field research capturing sound recordings of elders around the country singing their traditional songs for the youth, then a process of laborious re-recording of the songs, accompanied by Pinoy musicians such as Bo Razon, Joey Ayala, Tots Tolentino, Malou Matute and Rachel Conanan.[1] The double CD includes one CD of her music, and one of the field recordings, plus a short video of the making. It has won several awards, received a National Commission for Culture and the Arts grant, and was the focus of a few music showcases.
