Manila Bulletin
|September 6, 2025
Without a doubt, Dustin Yu is emerging as Asia’s Rising Star. He is set to headline at least two new movies, including the highly anticipated 17th installment of "Shake, Rattle, & Roll: Evil Origins.
-
It was an earlier Shake, Rattle, & Roll film, “Shake, Rattle, & Roll Extreme,” where he made his mark.
His role as Bong earned him the award for New Movie Actor of the Year at the 40th PMPC Star Awards for Movies. He also won praise for his role as Kenneth Sy Chan in the series “Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune,” and as Zachery in the 2025 drama “Guilty Pleasure.”
Dustin has demonstrated his versatility as an actor across various genres, including romance, horror, action, drama, and family stories, excelling equally well in each. His authenticity and relatability make every role he takes on noteworthy.
The young actor is the kind of artist who is both approachable and aspirational. He connects with audiences not just through what they see onscreen, but also on social media platforms, where he interacts with fans in the most genuine way.
