MANILA, Philippines – In a heartfelt moment on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, actor Will Ashley finally found the courage to speak to Bianca De Vera about their unresolved issues from two years ago—thanks to a bit of “liquid courage” and the right timing after a casual drinking session.
“I never got the chance to really talk to you seriously,” Will told Bianca. “What you gave me—your patience, your understanding—meant so much.”
The Sparkle star admitted he wanted to know Bianca beyond the roles they played together and the public personas they carried. He poured his heart out, saying, “I just want to comfort you as someone who understands you the most.”
Bianca, visibly emotional, thanked Will for finally opening up. “I never got to hear those words from you in two years. I appreciate it,” she said.
The conversation also touched on fellow housemate Dustin Yu, who had confessed feelings for Bianca. Will acknowledged their connection but expressed his sincere desire to be someone she could lean on emotionally.
“I just want to be that person for you—the one you can talk to when things get hard,” Will said. “And I hope you’ll give me the chance to do that.”
He emphasized he’s not expecting anything in return and is ready to accept whatever she’s able to give.
Bianca, needing time to process everything, asked if they could continue the conversation another time. Will gently agreed, assuring her, “Whenever you’re ready, no pressure.”
Their candid exchange sparked renewed interest in their story, with fans and even celebrities like Gian Bernardino from Cup of Joe feeling the kilig and rooting for the duo now dubbed “WillCa.”
