Who is Will Ashley's type among PBB collab housemates? Nation's Son answers
Which female housemate from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" is Will Ashley's type? The Nation's Son answered this question on Mika Salamanca's latest vlog, where he underwent a lie detector test. "Well, I think everyone knows naman na about this. Kasi since first week na sabi ko na, 'di ba? Yes," Will answered. Mika then asked who it is among the housemates. "Sinabi ko na nga. I-replay n'yo na lang dun sa bahay ni Kuya, guys," Will said. But he eventually added: "Ikaw." It seemed that Mika did not understand what he said, because she told the viewers to just watch the previous episodes to know Will's answer. "Sinagot ko na, sabi ko ngayon lang. Sabi ko, ikaw," Will said. Mika then asked the polygraph examiner if Will was telling the truth. And he was! "Sinabi ko na sayo 'yun 'di ba?" Will told to Mika. "Hindi, guys. Ito naman, ito naman. Ano lang naman 'yun? Kung baka ang pagkakagusto sa someone ay paghanga lang naman," Mika said. During their boys' night out inside Bahay ni Kuya, Emilio Daez asked Will which female housemate he would confess to, and he named Mika. "[Magko-confess] ako kay Mika kasi kilala ko siya sa social media lang. Siguro ang iko-confess ko sa kaniya is I wanna be friends with you more kahit sa labas. Sobrang bumilib ako kung paano siya mag-isip, kung gaano siya ka-strong as a person and kung gaano siya ka-understanding sa lahat ng bagay," Will said. "Gusto ko lang na ma-prove niya sa lahat ng tao kung sino talaga siya hindi lang sa kung paano siya nakilala sa social media," he added. In the same episode, Will chose Bianca De Vera as the housemate he could possibly fall in love with inside Bahay ni Kuya. "Si Bianca. Kasi kilala ko na si Bianca for two years, kumbaga alam ko na 'yung personality niya and alam ko na kung paano siya as a friend. Alam ko kung paano siya dumamay," he said. MikWill and WillCa were two of the many fan ships formed inside Bahay ni Kuya. Will ended his PBB journey as the second Big Placer alongside his Kapamilya duo, Ralph De Leon, while Mika and her duo, Brent Manalo, were named the Big Winners. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
