Xyriel Manabat, Vince Maristela, and Reign Parani are officially taking over the spotlight. Coming from their “Pinoy Big Brother” journeys, these three are stacking projects left and right. Reign first stepped into the showbiz world through “PBB Otso” in 2018, while Xyriel and Vince brought the energy as part of the 2025 “PBB Celebrity Collab” edition.
Now, the trio is leveling up to the big screen as they join lead stars Will Ashley, Bianca de Vera, and Dustin Yu in the upcoming film “Love You So Bad.” But before we catch them in the movie, Xyriel, Vince, and Reign dropped by Kapamilya Chat on December 18, where they gamely took on the “Love You So ______” challenge.
The three were given random scenarios and were tasked to respond with “Love You So…” completing the phrase however they wished.
How would they complete the phrase if their special someone were celebrating a birthday? Xyriel answered, “Love You So… kakantahan ka to the max,” even singing a bit of a birthday song. Vince kept it real with the joke, “Love You So… manlilibre ka na.” And Reign wrapped it up with the sweetest take, saying, “Love You… for another year.”
The next prompt asked what they’d say if their partner didn’t reply right away---and Xyriel instantly delivered the most unfiltered reaction “...may rereplyan pa ba ako?” followed by,
“...iba-block na ba kita? Who you ka nga?” which had everyone cracking up. Vince went to something suspenseful with his answer, “Love You So… kakabahan ba ako? O ikaw [ang] kakabahan?” And Reign wrapped it up with “...tagal mag-reply!”
If their partner wasn’t in the mood, Xyriel would instantly match the energy with “...masama rin ‘yung mood ko,” jokingly adding, “Love You So… hindi ako magpapatalo, akala mo ikaw lang?” Vince, meanwhile, would turn on the charm with a soft “...halika na, baby,” hoping to ease the tension. Reign would go for the most honest line of “...tama na ‘yan, ayoko na.”
On the flip side, what if their partner gets extra clingy? Xyriel softened up and answered sweetly, “...tara dito.” Vince kept things playful with “...tara labas tayo.” And Reign delivered the simplest yet most on‑brand line, “Love You So Bad.”
When it comes to a partner who shows up late, Xyriel stays chill with “Love You So… understanding naman ako.” Vince, on the other hand, turns it into a joke, “Love You So… okay lang, baka ma‑late ako next time.” Reign keeps it simple and firm with “Love You So… ‘wag ka na ma‑late [next time].”
Another adorable prompt came up: what would they say if their partner did something irritating… but in a cute way? All three instantly softened, giving sweet, malambing answers that showed just how affectionate they can be.
For the next prompt, what if their partner isn’t replying but is clearly online on social media? Reign didn’t hesitate and dropped, “Love You So… ghost?” calling out the ghosting energy. Vince, meanwhile, went into overthinking mode with “Love You So… may ginawa ba akong mali?” And Xyriel? She stayed bold and unbothered, “Love You So… ba‑bye ka sa akin,” saying she’d ignore them right back.
Down to their final prompt, what if their partner is being playful even when they’re not in the mood? Reign went straight to the point with “Love You So… stop!” Vince, meanwhile, admitted he’d step away for a bit with “…alis muna ako,” as he tends to isolate when overwhelmed. And
Xyriel surprised everyone with a soft turn, saying “Love You So… na‑miss kita,” explaining that a partner’s extra clinginess can actually light up her mood.
Xyriel, Vince, and Reign will bring more kilig to the upcoming movie “Love You So Bad,” an official entry to the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival, showing in cinemas starting December 25.
