White Castle Whisky ushers in a refreshing new chapter as it proudly introduces Ashley Rivera as its 2026 Calendar Girl—and true to the brand’s playful spirit, this year’s calendar is all about keeping things light.
A GMA Network artist, digital creator, and one of today’s most recognizable online and television personalities, Ashley brings her signature charisma, humor, and relatability to the iconic White Castle calendar tradition. Perfectly aligned with White Castle Light Whisky’s tagline, “Dapat light lang!”, her selection signals a fun, modern twist on a long-standing Filipino favorite.
The official unveiling of the White Castle Whisky 2026 Calendar took place during a special press conference on December 19, 2025, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM at Rampa Drag Club, Quezon City—a fitting venue for a reveal that promises both style and personality.
Ashley now joins the ranks of legendary White Castle calendar icons such as Evangeline Pascual, Carmi Martin, Cristina Gonzales, Glydel Mercado, Roxanne Guinoo, Ninong Ry, Sassa Girl, Ria Atayde, and many more. It’s a list that celebrates not just beauty, but influence and cultural impact—and Ashley fits right in.
This year’s calendar blends classic White Castle allure with contemporary Filipino pop culture. Ashley embodies the spirit of today’s empowered Filipina—confident, charming, and unapologetically herself—while adding a refreshing dose of humor that resonates with a new generation of fans.
“I’m incredibly honored and thrilled,” Ashley shared. “White Castle Whisky has such an iconic place in Filipino culture. To be chosen as the 2026 calendar girl feels surreal. I’ve been dreaming about this after being inspired by Tita Carmi Martin.”
A GMA Sparkle Artist, Ashley gained widespread recognition as a former regular cast member of Bubble Gang, the country’s longest-running gag show. Even before mainstream television, she captured hearts online through her viral comedic alter ego “Petra Mahalimuyak” on TikTok and YouTube. In 2024, she further expanded her creative reach with the podcast “Chicks 2 Go”, co-hosted with fellow comedian Hershey Neri, where she once openly shared her dream of becoming a calendar girl—just like her idol Carmi Martin, the White Castle calendar muse in 1984.
With Ashley Rivera at the forefront, White Castle Whisky continues its legacy of celebrating beauty, talent, humor, and Filipino identity. As the brand evolves with the times, it remains rooted in tradition while embracing a bold, light, and modern aesthetic—perfectly embodied by its newest calendar girl.
