“<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com">Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0</a>” housemate Ashley Sarmiento carries pain behind her bubbly demeanor, as her “multo,&quot; also had something to do with her father. Ashley has never met him in person since birth, though as she grew older, she was able to communicate with him through social media. Every year on her birthday, Ashley would feel a certain emptiness, wishing her dad could be there to celebrate with her. As a child, whenever she saw airplanes flying overhead, she would imagine that maybe, just maybe, her father was on one of them, coming home to see her. Before her 18th birthday last January, she even sent him an invitation, hoping he would finally show up, but he didn’t. So during her “18 Roses,” the men who stood in for her dad were the father figures she’s met through showbiz and in real life.  Still, Ashley has reached a place of peace, saying that perhaps the closure she never received from her dad was the closure she needed after all, and that she’s okay now because she’s surrounded by so much love from her maternal family. But sometimes, the ghosts that haunt you aren’t just people; they can also be the dreams you had to let go of, like in the case of Fred Moser, whose biggest &quot;multo&quot; was basketball. His biggest dream was to play as a collegiate athlete, but just when he had one last chance to try out, he couldn’t make it because his family had to fly abroad to visit his father. “I think it’s time to forget the dream and get a job,” Fred said, recalling that bittersweet moment when he had to walk away from his first love.  Stay tuned to see what challenge Big Brother has in store for the housemates in the next episodes of “<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com">PBB Collab 2.0</a>” which can be viewed online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb">iWant.</a>
