It wasn’t just another fan gathering—it was a day filled with love, hope, and compassion.
Celebrity duo Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera, together with their loyal fandom, the “Cheffies,” recently spent a meaningful day with the patients of the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in Mandaluyong City.
Photos shared by Sparkle on social media captured touching moments: Dustin, Bianca, and their fans donating essential goods and personally handing them out to the patients.
“Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera, together with their ever-supportive fandom, spent a heartfelt day with the patients of the National Center for Mental Health, bringing essentials, compassion, and connection,” read the official post.
Sharing Hope and Stories
The visit wasn’t just about giving—it was also about healing. To mark Suicide Prevention Month, Dustin and Bianca took time to talk to the patients, sharing stories of hope and encouragement. Their words carried a message that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for.
From PBB Housemates to Advocates
Fans know Dustin and Bianca, fondly called “DustBia,” as former housemates of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition. From being each other’s final duo inside the house, they’ve since continued their journey together in showbiz.
They recently appeared in Lily’s heartfelt music video “Kinakabahan” and are set to star in exciting upcoming projects: the movie “Love You So Bad” with Will Ashley, and the GMA–ABS-CBN collaboration “Secrets of Hotel 88” alongside some of their PBB batchmates.
