Before we got to see them share the screen as co-stars in the digital movie "The Four Bad Boys and Me," Anji Salvacion and Brent Manalo already had something in common. Both were “Pinoy Big Brother” Big Winners, with Anji taking the title in the “KUMUnity Season 10” edition and Brent recently winning the “PBB Collab” season, so it’s no surprise they came ready to compete in the "tasks" lined up for them on Kapamilya Chat.
One of the games they took on was a guess-the-word challenge featuring items, places, and people related to their movie. They took turns picking a word from a jar, holding it up on their forehead without looking and relying on their partner’s clues to guess it before time ran out.
Anji took the first turn and drew a word from the “clothes” category. Her guesses started to drift off track and she even mentioned “underwear,” but Brent's hints eventually brought her to the correct answer, which was “leather jacket," the signature fashion look of her on-screen partner Jeydon Lopez, played by Gelo Rivera.
Of course, they managed to guess each other’s characters—Brent got “Shawn Lucas Dela Fuente,” while Anji nailed “Candice Gonzales"— in the next two rounds.
Before the next round, Anji jestingly apologized to Brent just to throw him off but he had no trouble at all guessing the word she picked for him, which was the name of their director, Benedict Mique.
And then Anji was initially stumped when the “place” category came up on her turn, saying the only significant setting she knew in the story was the school until it clicked that it was indeed school-related but more specific, which was “Maxwell University,” the campus home of Candice and the four bad boys in her life.
For the final round, Anji picked a challenging word for Brent, so they got tangled in their clues and went in circles over the term “basketball court,” which prompted Brent to jokingly accuse her of cheating.
"The Four Bad Boys And Me" is now streaming via the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel and iWant. The coming-of-age campus story also stars Gelo Rivera, River Joseph, Harvey Bautista, Dustine Mayores, Krystal Brimner, AC Bonifacio, Analain Salvador, and Gela Alonte.
