Speculation surrounding the friendship between Bianca de Vera and Mika Salamanca appears to have been laid to rest after De Vera reposted Salamanca’s birthday greeting and added a simple but affectionate caption.
On Bianca’s birthday yesterday, she reshared Mika’s post on her Instagram Stories and wrote, “love u mikmik ”
For many fans, the gesture effectively put an end to recent rumors suggesting tension between the two actresses.
Bianca and Mika became close friends during their time as housemates on ‘Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition’ last year, where their bond was frequently noticed by viewers. However, fans recently speculated that the two may have grown distant after observing their interactions—or lack thereof—during the press conference for their upcoming series ‘The Secrets of Hotel 88’
Eagle-eyed supporters pointed out that despite being seated beside each other during photo opportunities, Bianca and Mika appeared less warm than expected, fueling talk of possible awkwardness between the former best friends.
Online speculation intensified when Mika was linked by fans to actor Will Ashley, who is associated with the WillCa fandom alongside Bianca. This led some netizens to theorize that the rumored tension may have stemmed from fandom-related issues rather than any personal fallout.
Supporters of both actresses were quick to defend them. Fans of Bianca argued there was no reason for her to feel upset, pointing out that she has repeatedly been linked to Dustin Yu, not Will. Meanwhile, Mika’s supporters stressed that she had nothing to explain, maintaining that her connection with Will was purely friendly.
Others dismissed the entire issue as overanalysis by fans, noting that friendships—especially in the public eye—can appear different in professional settings.
Adding further context, Bianca and Mika were previously seen together last August shopping for matching luxury bags. In a video shared by business owner and social media personality Miss Jay Ann, the two were visibly hyping each other up while shopping, reinforcing the idea that their friendship remained intact.
