Will Ashley on double MMFF nominations: 'Nakuha ko ang best Christmas gift'

Will Ashley is living his dream as an actor in 2025.

The Sparkle star took to Instagram to reflect on how monumental the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2025 has been for him, after having two of his films included in this year's official entries.

He also earned nominations for Best Actor for "Love You So Bad" and Best Supporting Actor for "Bar Boys: After School."

"Never in [my] wildest dream did I expect that I would ever get a nomination for best actor and best supporting actor against these legends," Will wrote.

"Kaya ko sinisipagan ang craft ko para maging kasing galing nila someday," he added.

Will also reflected on how, five years ago, he only dreamed of being part of a film. And now, he has two at the MMFF.

"Last year napaka simple lang ng Pasko ko. Pero this year, nakuha ko ang best Christmas gift any actor can ask for," he said.

The Nation's Son was part of the Big Four in the first edition of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," along with his Kapamilya duo Ralph De Leon.

Earlier, Will, along with his "Love You So Bad" co-stars Bianca De Vera and Dustin Yu, returned to "Pinoy Big Brother" as house guests.

Meanwhile, here's the full list of the winners at the 2025 MMFF Gabi ng Parangal.
