Will Ashley expressed his pride in fellow Kapuso star Mika Salamanca following her performance in the upcoming film Saving Cherry.

The Delivery Boi actor was among the Kapuso celebrities who attended the premiere night of the movie, which stars Barbie Forteza in the lead role. During the event, Will also showed his support for Mika, who portrays the character Jewel in the film.

In an Instagram Story, Will shared a photo of himself with Mika and accompanied it with a heartfelt message praising her work in Saving Cherry. His post reflected how impressed he was with the young actress and the effort she put into the project.

"So, so proud of this girl! You did such an amazing job. Congratulations to you and everyone who poured their heart into Saving Cherry! Can't wait for everyone to see it," he wrote.

Will's message highlighted not only his support for Mika but also his appreciation for the people who worked behind the scenes to bring the movie to life. His public show of encouragement came as anticipation continues to build for the film.

Mika, meanwhile, has previously opened up about her experience working on Saving Cherry, particularly her time on set with Barbie. During the movie's media conference in August, she shared how much she learned from the veteran actress.

"Nu'ng nakasama ko siya sa set, sobrang professional. Ibang level 'yung professionalism ni Ate Barbie."

"And, kahit hindi mo gustuhing matuto, matututo ka sa kaniya. Ang dami ko pong natutunan sa kaniya sa set na 'to," she said.

Mika's comments underscored the impact of working alongside Barbie, whom she described as highly professional. Her experience on the project appears to have given her valuable lessons as she continues to grow in her acting career.

With Will publicly commending her performance and Mika previously sharing what she learned while filming, Saving Cherry has given the young actress another opportunity to showcase her talent alongside established Kapuso stars.

Mika Salamanca, born Anne Michaella Salonga Salamanca, is a Filipino social media influencer, vlogger, and television personality under GMA's Sparkle talent agency. She first gained massive popularity through her lifestyle vlogs and song covers on YouTube before transitioning into acting and winning Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition in 2025.

In another report, Mika Salamanca talked about her current dating life during her appearance on Killa Kush’s podcast. She revealed that she had turned down the same persistent suitor several times before eventually changing her mind. Mika said his kindness, consistency, and respect eventually convinced her to give him a chance and allow him to court her. Despite their initial differences, the actress shared that he eventually learned how to love her in the way she needed.

Meanwhile, Mika Salamanca surprised Kapuso actor Will Ashley with an unexpected trip to Vietnam after secretly booking their flights. Will thought he was only heading to a local shoot for a 24-hour haunted house challenge, which was why he arrived without luggage or extra clothes. His confusion quickly turned into shock when Mika revealed at the airport that they were actually flying abroad. The pair spent their time enjoying food trips and shopping before choosing to extend their stay and teasing a “switch life” challenge for their viewers.
