From exhibiting their flair in piecing various fashion items together in the previous ukay-ukay challenge, “A Very Good Girl” stars Kathryn Bernardo, Dolly de Leon, Kaori Oinuma, Donna Cariaga, and Nour Hooshmand once again bonded together, but this time, over their favorite Filipino street foods at the famous isawan or barbecue place located inside the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman campus.The video commenced with Dolly reminiscing on how the restaurant used to be a food cart only when she was still a student there. Her fellow iska, Nour, seconded her by imparting how its original proprietor Mang Larry was able to send all his kids to school through his earnings from this business, which amazed the other cast members.<div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6ZbI3MN3mDw" title="‘A Very Good Girl’ Cast Eats Tusok-Tusok with a Twist | Made For YouTube" width="640"></iframe></div>They feasted over a variety of ihaw-ihaw and tusok-tusok foods as they talked about different stuff, mostly with regard to their fondest memories when they were still schoolgirls.Nour started off, asking Kath what her most favorite street food is. The latter mentioned that her go-to is isaw ng baboy, while she’s not really into chicken feet. Their conversation then veered to the student days of Dolly and Nour, with Kath quizzing them about their budget for food back then. Dolly said that she used to avail one stick of barbecue then for just 7 pesos and paired it up with rice. She also shared that more than the grilled foods, it’s actually their pure beef burger that she likes the most.It was also revealed that both Dolly and Nour took up Theater Arts, and it was actually through a school production where they first worked together. Nour was just a freshman then and was a first-timer on the stage, while Dolly was the lead actress. She commented, “Isa si Tita Dolly sa talagang idol namin [simula] noong mga freshie kami. Ang astig ni Tita Dolly. Madali siyang kausapin.” The internationally-acclaimed actress then recounted her first-ever acting stint, which was a play written by Floy Quintos and directed by Tony Mabesa, wherein she portrayed a lady washing clothes at a brook and had one line. It might be a small role, but it was unforgettable for since it was her first time to step on the stage.Kathryn also went on to recall her short stint in Enderun Colleges that only lasted for two semesters since she found it really difficult and impossible to juggle her showbiz commitments with her studies.Even though she has been busy with work ever since she was a kid, the Asia’s Superstar was still able to have fond memories as a student. She cited overnight camping as the school activity that she looked forward to the most when she was in elementary, while it’s the promenade when she was in high school because she got to see other students from other branches of her school then. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to make it to the event after she arrived late since she came from work then and didn’t have any photos taken there.As Kath mentioned prom, Nour shared a memorable experience of hers, too. She recalled being the “early bird” in her second prom after coming late in her first.Dolly, on the other hand, imparted that her most favorite college memory is the annual UP Fair since it doesn’t only involve booths, but various musical performances, too. It was actually in one edition of the fair when she got to watch now-iconic OPM band Eraserheads when they were still students, which absolutely amazed her younger co-stars.When asked by Nour if she considered herself “A Very Good Girl” when she was still in college, the veteran actress admitted that she wasn’t. She disclosed, “Hindi, may sungay pa rin ako. Naiinis sa akin ‘yong mga prof kasi ako lang ‘yong hindi sipsip.”Despite being in the entertainment for decades now, Dolly divulged that she’s been an introvert through and through, and she just needed to be an extrovert because of the nature of their job. Kath then shared how she used to be the shy kid who tended to be not seen, which is quite contrary to what she is at present. Nour confessed having the same trait, too, but she has learned to come out of her shell for she’s been surrounded by people who empowers her to do so.Before the episode capped off, Kath and Dolly finally revealed that there were actually five “secret challenges” that they needed to accomplish while they were eating and talking. And both of them were successful because Dolly was able to make Donna say “A Very Good Girl” five times, make Nour take a slurp of the vinegar sauce, and make Kaori disclose the street foods that she already tried. Kath, meanwhile, was able to make Donna take a swig of the vinegar, too, and to have five high-fives with Dolly.“A Very Good Girl” is currently showing in hundreds of cinemas nationwide since September 27 and <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kathryn-and-dollys-a-very-good-girl-draws-over-p10m-on-first-day-20719">incredibly achieved a P10-million gross on its first day</a>.It will also be shown in United States, Canada, Guam, and Saipan beginning October 6.
