Enter the first film under Star Cinema, slated for release later this year called A Very Good Girl.

What’s more, the 27-year-old Kapamilya star will act alongside award-winning actress Dolly de Leon for this project. A Very Good Girl will be the two stars’ second time working with each other—with the first one back when Kathryn was still a child actress. “What an honor,” Kathryn shares. “And for sure marami akong matututunan sa kanya. I can’t wait to meet her again. I’m looking forward na makatrabaho siya ng mas matagal and mas makilala siya.”

Based on the Palanca award-winning screenplay by Patrick Valencia, the film is a historical action drama about a comfort woman who lived through the Japanese colonial period. It was originally pitched to Kathryn in 2019; however, the actress shares how, at the time, she wasn't ready for the role. “Sobrang ganda ng material. Kaso syempre nando’n ’yung takot,” she recalls. “But the universe made a way.”

Now, we’re here to push her limits as an actress to do edgier and more daring roles.”
