White Castle Whisky ushers in a lighter, fresher vibe for its 2026 calendar as it officially names Ashley Rivera as its newest Calendar Girl.
A charismatic GMA Network artist, digital creator, and one of today’s most recognizable online and television personalities, Ashley brings humor, charm, and effortless screen presence to the iconic calendar tradition. Her selection reflects White Castle Light Whisky’s tagline, “Dapat light lang!”, highlighting a more refreshing and comical take on the brand’s long-running legacy.
With her appointment, Ashley joins the prestigious roster of White Castle Calendar Girls that includes Evangeline Pascual, Lorna Tolentino, Techie Agbayani, Carmi Martin, Maria Isabel Lopez, Cristina Gonzales, Glydel Mercado, Roxanne Guinoo, Ninong Ry, Sassa Girl, Ria Atayde, Angelie “Pench” Andanar, and many others.
This year’s calendar aims to blend classic White Castle elegance with contemporary Filipino pop culture. Ashley embodies the confidence, wit, and vibrant energy of today’s empowered Filipina, while staying true to the brand’s values of individuality, authenticity, and lighthearted enjoyment of life’s moments.
“I’m incredibly honored and thrilled,” Ashley shared. “White Castle Whisky holds such an iconic place in Filipino culture. Being chosen as the 2026 Calendar Girl feels surreal. I’ve been dreaming about this after being inspired by Tita Carmi Martin, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we created.”
A Sparkle GMA Artist, Ashley first gained mainstream attention as a regular cast member of the country’s longest-running gag show, Bubble Gang, along with appearances in other GMA Network programs. Prior to television, she built a massive following on TikTok and YouTube through her popular comedic persona, Petra Mahalimuyak.
In 2024, Ashley expanded her creative platform by launching the podcast Chicks 2 Go, co-hosted with fellow comedian and internet personality Hershey Neri. In one of its earlier episodes, Ashley candidly spoke about her longtime dream of becoming a calendar girl—following in the footsteps of her idol, Carmi Martin, who starred as a White Castle calendar model in 1984.
As White Castle Whisky continues to celebrate beauty, talent, and Filipino identity, the brand remains committed to honoring tradition while embracing a bold, modern aesthetic—perfectly embodied by its 2026 calendar muse, Ashley Rivera.
