Kapamilya actress Bianca de Vera made it clear: she isn’t torn between the two love teams that have formed around her following her ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ stint.
Instead, she views both with gratitude.
The DusBia tandem—Bianca and fellow housemate Dustin Yu—garnered a strong following after their chemistry and connection blossomed inside the ‘PBB’ house, where they were ultimately named one of the final duos.
Meanwhile, Bianca’s pairing with ‘Unbreak My Heart’ co-star and fellow housemate Will Ashley, dubbed WillCa by fans, re-emerged into the spotlight after the two shared a heartfelt embrace during the Big Night, igniting excitement among longtime supporters of their team-up.
In a press conference hosted by Star Magic on Monday, July 14, Bianca addressed the ongoing fan discourse surrounding the two tandems.
“Personally naman, I see both partnerships as blessings,” she said. “It’s really nice and I’m very, very grateful to be given the opportunity to be able to grow with two different people with beautiful hearts, beautiful souls, and genuine connections.”
Bianca also extended her thanks to both fandoms for their outpouring of support. “I’m very, very grateful for the support that each fandom has given us,” she added.

Reflecting on her journey inside the Big Brother house, Bianca said her perspective on love and friendship evolved significantly.
“One of the major things I learned inside this house is that no relationship or friendship is picture perfect,” she explained. “As much as you try to control the situation, hindi talaga, wala talaga. Hindi mo siya ma-co-control.”
Still, the 22-year-old actress expressed appreciation for the strong bond she formed with her fellow housemates, whom she considers a family.
“‘Yung isa kasi sa mga fears namin nung nandito pa kami sa loob was that ‘pag nasa outside world ba [kami] magbabago ba, kasi may ingay na ng outside world, tapos may distractions na. But one thing na pinanghahawakan ko talaga—and naming lahat—is that at the end of the day, we really choose each other,” she said.
“So I think that one of the main things that I learned is panindigan yung isa’t isa and yung pamilyang nabuo namin dito sa loob.”
As for handling criticism now that she’s back in the spotlight, Bianca said she chooses to approach it with growth in mind.
“Dito naman sa Bahay ni Kuya and even outside, naniniwala ako hindi dapat tayo tumigil sa pag-grow. So upon hearing that, I really took it as constructive criticisms in order for me to become a better friend, a better person,” she said.
Will, for his part, previously admitted he didn’t expect their Big Night hug to go viral: “Nagulat ako nag-trending siya. At the same time, grateful ako na maraming tao ang nag-su-support. Isa sa pinapangarap namin mangyari sa karera. Nakita ako na nakita nila ganon sa’ming dalawa.”
Bianca echoed his thoughts: “’Di namin inexpect maging ganon reaction ng tao. It was a beautiful moment shared and we are so happy na minahal siya ng mga tao.”
