Did Will Ashley ever have a crush on Bianca De Vera? Actor answers
Will Ashley and Bianca De Vera, fondly dubbed by fans as "WillCa," were one of the standout ships that emerged from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." However, their undeniable chemistry wasn't a recent discovery. Long before their connection was reignited inside Bahay ni Kuya, the spark between them first caught viewers' attention when they starred together in "Unbreak My Heart" two years ago. In the latest episode of "Your Honor" hosted by Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar, the Nation's Son was asked if he had a crush on the Kapamilya star, considering the bond they formed. "Pero nagka-crush ka ba talaga kay Bianca [De Vera]?" Chariz asked. Will, who was caught off guard by the question, stood up and hit the court gavel, deflecting his answer. "Bakit? Crush lang naman. Itong mga batang 'to. Crush lang, paghanga," Chariz said. Will then explained his relationship with Bianca saying that they are "good friends." "Parang noong nagkaroon kami ng show ni Bianca, talagang nagkaroon kami ng relationship Good, good, good friends. Legit good friends talaga," he explained. According to the Sparkle star, he and Bianca support each other and have become each other's confidante. "We support each other lahat nandun. Sama sa ganito, problema, sabihan ng ganyan. Yung shoulder to cry on talaga. Ganoong type," he added. Will also admitted that he admires Bianca for her dedication to her craft. "Very vocal naman ako dito. Hinahangaan ko talaga siya. I mean, sa pagiging ano niya. Yung pagiging masipag niya sa work lahat. Dedication and very passionate talaga," he said of Bianca. While inside Bahay ni Kuya, the pair confessed to having unresolved tension from their "Unbreak My Heart" days. They became viral after hugging on stage during the "PBB" Big Night. Since coming out of the house, their first TikTok together has fetched over 16 million views. They recently attended a fund-raising gig in support of animal welfare organized by their fans and attended by OPM artists, some of whom have dedicated their songs to WillCa. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
