In a recently televised sit-down that has captured the attention of social media, Dustin took the opportunity to address lingering rumors regarding a supposed international getaway with his screen partner, Bianca.

During the February 23, 2026, episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, the rising star playfully dismissed claims that the two had recently traveled together to Thailand.

The conversation sparked when the show's host, Boy, lightheartedly pressed Dustin about online posts suggesting a "honeymoon" trip.

Laughing off the suggestion, Dustin clarified that they are far too young for such labels. When confronted with the existence of social media photos placing him in Thailand, the actor offered a humorous explanation, suggesting that he simply has many "lookalikes" or doppelgängers in the region.

"Kasi tito marami kasi ako kamukha na —maraming nagsasabi na ako daw 'yun, pero sa totoo lang kamukha ko lang 'yun," Dustin explained during the interview.

He did confirm that he has visited Thailand in the past, but clarified that his last trip to the country took place two years ago—long before the recent wave of speculation.

Dustin appeared on the program alongside fellow actors Ralph and River to promote their upcoming series, The Secrets of Hotel 88.

The family-mystery drama is a landmark collaboration between major networks, featuring a cast predominantly composed of former housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.

The series, which also stars Mika, Brent, Will, Xyriel, and Kira, explores the haunting history of a family-owned estate.

The project marks a significant step for Dustin and Bianca’s professional partnership, following their successful stint in the 2025 film Love You So Bad.

While Dustin remains firm that no secret international trip occurred recently, he has been vocal in past interviews about the "special connection" he shares with Bianca.

The two have consistently described their relationship as a deep friendship that has evolved significantly since their time inside the PBB house.

The Secrets of Hotel 88 is scheduled to make its television premiere on March 2, 2026, on GMA Network, while early streaming began on iWant on February 23.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the duo's on-screen chemistry, even as the actors continue to navigate the complexities of public interest in their private lives.

Dustin Yu is a versatile Kapuso actor and celebrated entrepreneur who first gained national fame as a standout housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition. Known as the "Chinito Boss-Sikap," Dustin has successfully balanced his rising acting career—highlighted by his New Movie Actor of the Year win at the 40th PMPC Star Awards—with a flourishing business portfolio. Before his breakthrough in series like Mano Po Legacy and The Secrets of Hotel 88, he established his independence by launching a modest fried chicken stall. Today, that entrepreneurial spirit has evolved into Eraya, a successful Southeast Asian fusion restaurant in San Juan, solidifying his identity as a grounded, self-made talent in the Philippine digital and entertainment space.

Last February 7, 2026, the Sparkle star took to Instagram to pen a sentimental message for his "forever duo," Bianca De Vera, in honor of her latest birthday. The social media post featured a collection of previously unreleased videos, including a humorous clip of Bianca accidentally getting locked out of a car and another of her sleeping during a break. Dustin’s caption focused on Bianca’s deserving happiness, emphasizing a bond that has only grown stronger since their time as housemates in the PBB Celebrity Collab house. Bianca quickly joined the conversation in the comments, thanking Dustin for the tribute while jokingly "calling him out" for the candid and funny videos he chose to share with the public.

Meanwhile in an article last year, Dustin revealed that his decision to undergo a nose enhancement was primarily a medical necessity to resolve a severe case of sleep apnea and chronic breathing difficulties. The actor shared how early career criticisms regarding his appearance during Pinoy Big Brother initially took a toll on his mental health and professional confidence. Dustin credited his best friend, David Licauco, for serving as a business mentor who encouraged him to seek financial independence through the food industry. Yu explained that his journey toward a self-defined identity began with a humble school canteen chicken stall, which eventually paved the way for his current success as a Southeast Asian fusion restaurant owner.
