Will Ashley shared that he is happy because, despite the challenges and after staying true to themselves inside the Pinoy Big Brother House, the careers of his fellow former housemates from their season are all flourishing.

According to Will, he is heartened as they truly poured their true selves into their journey on the said reality show.
