Esnyr’s “First Day High” sequel returns with a massive Gen Z cast, surprise DonBelle reunion, and Vice Ganda stealing spotlight moments.
DonBelle reunion, Vice Ganda, and viral Gen Z stars collide as Esnyr’s “First Day High” sequel drops the biggest digital cast yet.
Content creator-turned-actor Esnyr Ranollo expands his digital universe with “First Day High,” the highly anticipated sequel to his hit YouTube “Highschool” series.
“This is probably one of the biggest projects we’ve poured our hearts into so far. We’ve been silently working on this for [three] MONTHS!!” Esnyr shared online, expressing his excitement and admitting to a larger budget. “Binuhos na namin lahat lahat just to make it happen.”
Centered on a fierce academic rivalry, the new show boasts a massive ensemble headlined by the “Unkabogable Star” Vice Ganda as a school administrator. Joining the stacked cast is Esnyr’s PBB “Pamilya de Guzman”—Mika Salamanca, Will Ashley, Klarisse de Guzman, and Shuvee Etrata—backed by a powerhouse lineup that includes Enchong Dee, Empoy Marquez, Mimiyuuuh, Donna Cariaga, Krystal Mejes, and Alyanna Angeles.

The sequel also shakes up Esnyr’s romance department, introducing Jayson David alongside returning leading men Anthony Constantino, Brent Manalo, and Shan Vesagas.
Adding major pop-culture weight are the formal acting debuts of former NU Lady Bulldogs volleyball captain Bella Belen, TikTok’s “Queen of Pitik” Ian Mark Kamangkang, Miss Philippines Earth 2025 Joy Barcoma, and social media personalities Jeo Ong and Queen Dura.
However, the biggest shock value comes from a surprise cameo by Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano. Following the powerhouse love team’s highly publicized “professional split”—which fans believed permanently concluded with their final film, “Tayo sa Wakas”—DonBelle’s unexpected screen reunion offers a massive, bittersweet treat for their loyal fandom.
