Anton Vinzon reminded “Ton-Ton” not to be afraid, pressured, nor nervous about the things he was going through at the time. Instead, he must enjoy his childhood and make the most of everything that he had. He was followed by Carmelle Collado, who expressed how happy she is as a child and how she continues to inspire and motivate her to get to where she is at present. She apologized to her for pushing her so much and vowed to make it up to her.  Former child stars Marco Masa and Ashley Sarmiento were next, with Marco instantly getting overwhelmed with emotions as soon as he saw the picture of “Macocoy” and he started reading his letter to him. He told his younger self how proud he was of him and promised not to fail him so that all his efforts and sacrifices as a child were going to be all worth it. He ended his message to him by letting him know that they’d already gone far in life, and they would surely go further. Ashley, meanwhile, began to cry when she mentioned her father abandoning them and how that hurt her so much. She also recalled how tired and struggling she was at the time, so she was thankful that her mom was there to support, accompany, and guide her all throughout. She also thanked “Arwen” for growing up a little bit early in order to be a breadwinner to their family and for living life the way she did. Just like Ashley, Lee also looked back growing up without a dad and only having his doting mom by his side. He commended “Lulu” for being a strong and courageous child who never took revenge despite being bullied at school, as well as reminding him to always make the people around him happy. Listen to the messages of Team Determined Warriors to their younger selves in the continuation of this special task in tonight’s episode of “<a href="http://pbb.abs-cbn.com">PBB Collab 2.0</a>,” which can be watched online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb">iWant</a>.
