She’s so real for that.

Aside from being one of the rising young actresses of the moment, Bianca de Vera has also endeared herself to many with her refreshing candor and fun personality that radiates strong Gen Z Filipina energy. Even before her time on PBB, Bianca was already building a following on social media, especially on TikTok, for how she hilariously and honestly marched to the beat of her own drum. Whether it was talking about her car being towed or jogging in UP, Bianca just did it, and it made us love her even more. 🙌

Despite what some might think as just a celebrity tweaking their behavior for an artificial personality for the audience, what you see from Bianca is what you get. In a time when everyone feels compelled to perform in some way, genuine aura can’t be faked, and you can count on our Unfiltered Issue cover star to be realer than real. Forget the filters and mictrotrends, Bianca is giving us a masterclass on how living your truth will always be the way to go. 💯
