Metro Manila, Philippines - Actor and singer Will Ashley is still on a high after his first-ever sold-out solo concert over the weekend, expressing gratitude to those who helped make the milestone possible - including fellow “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” housemate Bianca de Vera.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Oct. 19, the “Bar Boys” actor said it was “an honor” to share the stage with De Vera, whom he credited as one of his earliest supporters.
“Thank you for being a believer since day one. Just know that I’ll always be here to support and protect you, no matter what,” Ashley wrote.
The 23-year-old performer also thanked GMA Network, Sparkle GMA Artist Center, and concert guests Alden Richards, Eliza Maturan, and Jay Joseph for their guidance and support. He described Richards’ participation as a “dream come true” and praised Maturan and Joseph for their “meaningful and inspiring performances.”
Ashley ended his post with a message to his fans and production team.
“At para sa inyong lahat na walang sawang nagpapakita ng suporta at pagmamahal mula umpisa, maraming, maraming salamat po. Tayo ay lumalaban nang sama-sama sa lahat ng hamon ng buhay. Mahal na mahal ko kayo,” he said.
[Translation: To everyone who has shown endless love and support since the beginning, thank you very much. We keep fighting together through every challenge in life. I love you all.]
Ashley and De Vera, collectively known to fans as WillCa, became one of the most popular pairs during their stint on “Pinoy Big Brother.”
Their chemistry first caught viewers’ attention two years ago when they starred together in “Unbreak My Heart.” Inside the PBB house, they admitted to having “unresolved tension” from that project, which reignited during the reality show.
The pair went viral again after sharing a hug on stage during the PBB Big Night. They are next set to star together in the upcoming film. “Love You So Bad with Dustin Yu,” as well as the joint GMA Network-ABS-CBN series, “Secrets of Hotel 88.”
