<p>A month after she was revealed as part of the cast of the upcoming Star Cinema film <em>A Very Good Girl</em> which stars Dolly de Leon and Kathryn Bernardo, Chie Filomeno got another blessing in her career after becoming a certified ABS-CBN star with her recent contract signing.</p><p>The 26-year-old actress shared her experience working with her two co-stars during her Keep Shining Kapamilya mediacon.</p><p>“Grabe yung takeaway. I only had a few shooting days pero ang dami kong nagtutunan. This is why I love what I do. Kasi hindi ibig sabihin today magaling ako, pinanganak na akong magaling. And I’m surrounded by people that they really love what they’re doing. And yun yung mas nakaka-inspire to do well also.</p><p>“Kasi nung taping namin, Ms. Dolly (de Leon) is from theater, kami ni Kath mainstream kami. Dun kami sa mainstream division of acting, of actresses. Ang dami naming napulot na aral from all the theater actors na parang sabi ni Kath, ‘Parang kailangan din natin manuod ng theater to immerse also.’ And nakakatuwa kasi this is something different,” she said.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CvtpoFortyH/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A2201069.1999998093%2C%22ls%22%3A909600.0999999046%2C%22le%22%3A909604.4000000954%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/6/14/chie-filomeno-joins-the-cast-of-a-very-good-girl-2043"><strong>READ: Chie Filomeno joins the cast of ‘A Very Good Girl’<br/></strong></a></div><p>Chie said she felt proud to be handpicked for the role.</p><p>“Actually it’s a go-see and I didn’t know na yung go-see na yun, ako lang talaga ang option nila for Sab. And then they were really patient with me para makuha nila yung gusto nila kay Sab. And I can’t wait for you to watch it. </p><p>“Yung role ko sa AVGG (<em>A Very Good Girl</em>) is very different and I hop you like it. We can’t wait for you to watch it. And grabe yung makatrabaho mo si Ms. Dolly din. She’s so nice. And then si Kath, after<em> Got 2 Believe,</em> meron kaming isang scene dun na sabi namin, ‘Shucks girl, tumatanda na nga tayo (laughs).’ As in we’ve really come a long way. Mas humbling siya kasi also yung career path ni Kathryn, that’s what I look up to also,” Chie explained.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/7/9/chie-filomeno-grateful-sa-kanyang-first-solo-shoot-sa-star-magic-catalogue-1537"><strong>READ: Chie Filomeno, grateful sa kanyang first solo shoot sa Star Magic catalogue<br/></strong></a></div><p>Aside from Dolly de Leon, Chie said she also looks forward to the opportunity to work with another veteran actor in the industry. </p><p>“Naku ang dami pang gusto kong makatrabaho. Besides learning new stuff, this is a new chapter of my life and ang dami ko pang matututunan. I am 26 but I am willing to learn and I would really love to work with sir John Arcilla. Feel ko mas ma-pu-push pa yung craft eh, kung papaano mo pa ma-ho-hone yung craft mo. Siyempre hindi puwedeng ma-mental block ka. So you really have to show your best. it’s okay to make mistakes everyone’s really understanding, like Ms. Dolly de Leon as in sobrang understanding niya. I really love her mentality,” she explained.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CubU3fBLRJX/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A2201893.4000000954%2C%22ls%22%3A909600.0999999046%2C%22le%22%3A909604.4000000954%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In one of her Instagram posts, Chie revealed what she went through when she was first starting out as an actress and why it was all worth it in the end.</p><p>She wrote, “‘Nakakaproud from group pic to solo pic kana chiechie.’ Oo nga no? Worth it LAHAT! 15 years old ako nung nag go-see ako for @starmagicphils, after 4 months nung tinext kami para sa callback. Apat na callbacks yun, each callback nalalagas kami. From 38 to 8 artists at kasama ako sa 8 na napili na yun. Fast forward to today, I have my own page in the Catalogue! 🏻 Almost 11 years with my Star Magic family grabe looking back at my journey, worth it talaga lahat—lahat nung pagod, heartbreaks, puyat at iyak. I have learned a lot from those experiences, specially from the people I have worked with that I will value for the rest of my life and hoping that I’ll be able to share those I have learned and inspire people with our journey. I’m a firm believer that we should trust the process and put in the hard work while we are waiting for our right time.</p><p>“Patuloy ko pa pong pagbubutihan ang aking trabaho at hindi ko po sasayangin ang mga oportunidad na binibigay niyo sakin. I will never get tired of honing my craft and learning. Nagpapa salamat po ako sa tiwala na binibigay niyo. Congratulations to us!! 💫.”</p>
