The magical glow of Fernwood Gardens in Quezon City recently set the stage for one of the most heartwarming celebrity fan gatherings this year, as Kapamilya actress Bianca de Vera showed up in an intimate, “fairycore”-themed event organized by her most loyal supporters.

The former Pinoy Big Brother housemate, dazzling in a shimmering, pink, embellished gown, was visibly emotional as she addressed the crowd, expressing profound gratitude for their unwavering love. In an interview on the sidelines of the event, Bianca shared that the beautiful, fantastical venue and her stunning gown were inspired by her fandom’s “whimsical and kikay” energy. She even confessed that her initial plan was a casual outfit, but seeing her fans’ extravagant preparations prompted her to “go all out” and wear the magnificent mermaid inspired gown.

During her speech, Bianca got teary-eyed as she spoke about the insecurities she felt before and after her PBB stint. She gave a heartfelt thank you to her fans, saying they have never made her feel “unlovable.” “Hindi rin naman talaga ako sure kung mamahalin niyo ako, o kung ka-mahal mahal ba ako… I mean, alam niyo naman na before entering, I had a lot of doubts, dami kong insecurities, I was really fighting within myself as well,” she emotionally shared. “Minahal niyo ako sa kung sino talaga ako. Minahal niyo ako nang buong-buo. And hindi madali ‘yun, ha! Alam kong mahirap akong mahalin. I know I’m a lot!”

She acknowledged the overwhelming support, especially given the pressures of the entertainment world. “The world is very cruel and it’s not easy, I know that, but because of you guys, nakakabangon ako each day stronger. And isa kayo sa mga rason kung bakit talaga ako nagpapatuloy. And without you guys, I really don’t know kung nasaan ako.”

Perhaps the most unique aspect of Bianca’s post-PBB career is the dual success of her fan-favorite pairings: WillCa with Will Ashley and DustBia with Dustin Yu. It’s a rare feat in showbiz for an artist to have two equally strong and supportive fandoms for different love teams. When asked about managing this extraordinary situation, Bianca shared her sincere gratitude, stating she didn’t expect to have two such supportive fandoms. She emphasized that she always tries her best to reciprocate their love and presence for both fandoms, adding, “It’s really an honor, it’s a pleasure to be able to work with both Will and Dustin. So, ‘di rin naman mahirap.”

On the career front, Bianca is fully embracing the hustle. She is currently shooting the highly anticipated movie “Love You So Bad,” a landmark collaboration between Star Cinema, GMA Pictures, and Regal Films, where she stars alongside both Will Ashley and Dustin Yu. This movie promises to explore a fresh take on the classic love triangle trope.

She is also set to be a special guest at Will Ashley’s concert this October 18 at the New Frontier Theater, an invitation that genuinely surprised and flattered her. She assured fans she will be working hard, jokingly saying she wants to be a “deserving” concert guest. When I playfully asked her about a solo singing career, she laughed and said, “Gusto ko. Ang tanong, gusto ba ng tao?” before adding that she will stay focused on her first love, acting. “I love what I do, and that’s my passion. You won’t feel tired if you truly love what you’re doing.”

Bianca de Vera’s emotional and joyful fan meet is a testament to the powerful, positive connection she has forged with her supporters. With a major film on the way and the continued backing of two dedicated fandoms, this fairy princess of showbiz is only getting started!
