Will Ashley says the successes coming his way in 2025 are years in the making.
The Sparkle star shared that he had spoken his current achievements into existence in a vlog he recorded five years ago, when he was just 18.
At the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival Gabi ng Parangal, Ashley earned nominations for Best Actor for Love You So Bad and Best Supporting Actor for Bar Boys: After School.
“Eighteen years old ako nun, sabi ko five years from now, which is now, ngayon, magkakaroon ako ng lead role, award nominations, bahay, business,” he said.
He described the moment as surreal. “Nakakatuwa kasi talagang na-manifest ko siya nang matindi and sobrang pasasalamat lang talaga sa Panginoon,” he added.
Ashley has stayed busy since finishing as Second Big Placer on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition alongside Ralph De Leon.
He staged his first solo concert at the New Frontier Theater in October and is set to perform again at the Kapuso Countdown at SM Mall of Asia Seaside Boulevard.
He is also part of the upcoming GMA Network–ABS-CBN collaboration series Secrets of Hotel 88.
