Fans went out to the streets as Will Ashley, Bianca De Vera, Dustin Yu, and other film stars greeted the public during the float parade of the Metro Manila Film Festival 2025.

According to Athena Imperial’s report on “24 Oras,” Friday, the parade began past 2 p.m. along Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City and continued through to JP Rizal Street in Makati City.

Despite the heavy rain that poured midway through the procession, the stars continued waving and interacting with spectators who stayed along the route.

“Ramdam na ramdam talaga namin lalo ‘yung Christmas spirit at ‘yung pagmamahal ng mga Pilipino,” Bianca said.

“‘Yung pagmamahal talaga, pinapakita nila sa amin ‘yung suporta. Kaya ‘yung first time namin, masasabi ko na napakasaya at memorable,” Will said.

“Grabe talaga ang pagmamahal ng mga Pilipino tuwing pasko. As in, grabe ‘yung suporta nila. Grabe sila,” Dustin also said.

Will, Bianca, and Dustin star together in “Love You So Bad.”

Kapuso and Sparkle artists also joined the parade to represent their respective entries, including “Rekonek” with members of the Legaspi family; “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” featuring Carla Abellana, Manilyn Reynes, and Elijah Alejo; “Bar Boys” with Glaiza de Castro and Rocco Nacino; and “Call Me Mother” starring Shuvee Etrata and Mika Salamanca.
