Wala naman nag tanong ng can I hug you kasi parang ano na sa aming housemates yun eh, yung mag yayakapan kumbaga, yun yung love language namin,” he shared.</p><p>The Kapuso actor then revealed how Bianca shared while they were inside the PBB house that it was her dream to be part of the Big 4. </p><p>“Naikwento niya sa akin sa loob ng Bahay na pangarap niya maging parte ng Big 4. So yung nabanggit ko sa kanya nung time na yun, sayang gusto ko kasi magkasama kami sa stage eh,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/7/10/here-s-why-rawi-couldn-t-hide-their-surprise-upon-being-named-pbb-second-big-placers-1135"><strong>READ: Here&#x27;s why RaWi couldn’t hide their surprise upon being named PBB second big placers</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Will added that he wanted to share the stage with her during the Big Night just because of Bianca’s dream to be part of the Big 4–– something that she was unable to do. </p><p>“Gusto ko rin maishare sa kanya yung stage since lagi niya po sinasabi sa akin na gusto niya maging part ng Big 4. I told her na sobrang proud ako sa kanya. Yun lang naman naging conversation namin,” he added.</p><p>He then expressed that there could’ve been a possibility that he would&#x27;ve chosen Bianca as his final duo partner if Ralph was chosen already. He maintained, however, that Ralph was his first choice as it was something that they had already discussed in the past.</p><p>“Pero kung nauna piliin si Ralph, baka po may chance,” he clarified. </p><p>Meanwhile, Will expressed his excitement to go back to acting as he is set to star in the upcoming Kip Oebanda sequel, <em>Bar Boys: After School.</em> He’ll be portraying the role of Arvin, a working student who balances a grueling job with law school. </p>
