Drawing from his own journey, former PBB housemate Will Ashley shared words of wisdom for the finalists of the Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 as they enter the final stretch of the competition.

As the grand finale approaches and anticipation builds for the next Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition Season 2, Season 1 second runner-up Will Ashley shared a message for the remaining housemates still fighting for victory.

Will shared with GMANetwork.com that his core message for the new batch is one of authenticity, reminding them that being genuine is their greatest asset in the competition.

“Very simple lang naman; you, just be you! Ikaw lang talaga. Don't plan 'wag kang gumawa ng bagay na sa tingin mo 'di talaga ikaw,” Will said.

The actor added that it is better for them to show their true selves, the same person they were before they even entered 'Bahay ni Kuya.'

He further stated that he doesn't suggest planning ahead of time, as it makes one's actions and decisions inside the house feel unnatural and negatively affects how they interact with others.

“Ipakita mo kung paano ka talaga sa totoong buhay, sa bahay ninyo. Doon lang talaga magfa-follow,” Will shared.

“Mahirap kasi, kapag nag-plan ka, hindi magiging natural 'yung kalalabasan,” he added.

Looking back, Will shared the aspirations he carried into the house and the personal foundation he wanted to build even before he stepped through the doors of the Big Brother's house.

“S'yempre, ang isang goal ko naman nung bago ako pumasok sa loob ng bahay [PBB House] is maka-build ng genuine connection sa ibang tao, new friendship, gan'yan,” Will revealed.

He concluded his message with a strong and positive reminder for the current housemates: “Maging totoo ka lang.”

Will concluded his stint as the second big placer of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition Season 1 alongside duo partner Ralph De Leon.
