Will Ashley joins MMFF

Young actor Will Ashley is feeling doubly grateful this holiday season as not one, but two of his films—“Bar Boys: After School” and “Love You So Bad”—have officially made it to the lineup of the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

On Instagram, the “Nation’s Son” shared his excitement with a heartfelt post, writing:

“Isa lamang itong pangarap dati. Who would’ve thought na sa unang MMFF, dalawa na malapit sa puso kong pelikula ang mapapasama dito!

Patuloy po natin suportahan ang pelikulang Pilipino!! 🫶🏻”

Both films highlight Will’s growing versatility—from a story of friendship and brotherhood in Bar Boys: After School to a youthful romance in Love You So Bad.

It’s a proud moment for the rising star, proving that dreams do come true—especially when fueled by passion for Filipino cinema.
