Rising star Bianca de Vera is savoring one of the biggest milestones of her young career—headlining her first-ever movie, ‘Love You So Bad’, produced by three of the country’s biggest studios: Star Cinema, Regal Entertainment, and GMA Pictures.
In an emotional Instagram Story a day after the film’s launch, Bianca described the project as a dream fulfilled.
“Yesterday marked one of the biggest milestones of my career—my first-ever lead movie, at hindi lang basta pelikula, kundi isang napakagandang proyekto mula sa Star Cinema, GMA Pictures, at Regal Films. A dream I’ve held in my heart for so long is finally here,” she wrote.
The actress extended her gratitude to her home network and director Mae Cruz-Alviar: “Una sa lahat, gusto kong magpasalamat ng buong puso sa ABS-CBN at Star Cinema—dito ako lumaki, dito ako minahal, at dito rin ako natutong mangarap. To Direk Mae, my first-ever director, and now the one guiding me in my very first film lead. Direk, I love you. To GMA Pictures and Regal Films, thank you for trusting us with this story and welcoming me with so much warmth.”
She also didn’t forget to thank her two leading men, Will Ashley and Dustin Yu, who bring double the excitement for fans of the WillCa (Will–Bianca) and DustBia (Dustin–Bianca) tandems.
“And of course, to my leading men, Dustin and Will, thank you for sharing this journey with me. I’m so grateful to grow, learn, and dream alongside you both,” she said.
As soon as ‘Love You So Bad’ was announced, the movie became a trending topic online—not just because it unites three major film companies, but also because it puts both WillCa and DustBia shippers in the spotlight.
Netizens flooded social media with kilig messages.
Some even likened the new love team dynamics to classic tandems of Claudine Barretto, Rico Yan, and Diether Ocampo, while others teased that Dustin’s abs should make an appearance on the big screen.
Both camps are already gearing up for block screenings, with fans planning to outdo each other in numbers and support.
Will Ashley also expressed his gratitude via Instagram, acknowledging the rare collaboration: “Love you so bad. Grateful to be part of this amazing collaboration between the giants—Star Cinema, GMA Pictures, and Regal Entertainment. To my supporters: salamat po sa lahat. I will do my best to make you all proud. Soon in CINEMAS NATIONWIDE.”
With Mae Cruz-Alviar at the helm and three powerhouse producers backing it, ‘Love You So Bad’ is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated youth romance films of the year.
As Bianca herself summed it up: “This moment is proof na kahit gaano katagal mong antayin, darating din ang tamang panahon.”
