In "Senior High," they were like cats and dogs, constantly bickering. In "High Street," their characters haven’t seen each other for five years since graduation. But here on Kapamilya Chat, you’ll get to witness the real dynamic between Xyriel Manabat and Elijah Canlas behind the cameras as they take on the "Drink It Challenge."
The game involved answering a series of questions or opting for a mystery drink if they chose not to respond. This fun and candid session showcased their off-screen chemistry and camaraderie, making it a treat for all RoxChie fans out there.
The challenge kicked off with Elijah selecting a question about his possible career had he not entered showbiz. And guess what? He revealed that he could've pursued his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.
There was also this cute moment in the challenge wherein Xyriel shared that she has a preference for girls' names ending in "A." If she were to change her name, she would choose "Leila." Coincidentally, Elijah then revealed that he had a crush in school named Leila, leading Xyriel to playfully react, "I'm your type," in jest.
The question that first prompted Elijah to take a sip of a mystery drink was about his pet peeves at work. He actually has quite a few, one of which is arrogance. He values humility and respect above all else. Xyriel can attest to this, as during their first meeting at a restaurant, she observed Elijah addressing the waiters by their first names, showing his genuine regard for others.
Nevertheless, he still wanted to try the drinks prepared by Kapamilya Chat just for the sake of experiencing them. He selected one drink that he initially thought smelled bad, only to discover that it was simply milk. It turns out he just has a dislike for milk.
Unfortunately, he got milk again in the next question, which he didn't want to answer, about who he wouldn't want to work with again. He's not one to pick and choose his co-workers, so he opted to take a drink instead.
Meanwhile, Xyriel appeared fearless, not backing down from any question. She even gamely revealed her celebrity crushes, admitting to having many. A fun fact: she had a crush on Zaijian Jaranilla when they were kids, "Pero saglit lang 'yun kasi inaasar na ako. 'Pag inaasar na ako, ayaw ko na." She playfully added, "Dati pa 'yun, mga 6 years old ako. Pagkatapos no'n, diring-diri na ako sa mukha niya. I can't stand him." Currently, her crush on "High Street" is Romnick Sarmenta.
