Like her fellow Pinoy Big Brother ex-housemates, Cassandra Ponti doesn’t have any idea what the Double Up season means. “Wala ako idea kung ano mangyayari. Hula ko kasi dalawang bahay, dalawang grupo ng housemates, dalawa mananalo.”

But what is clear to Cassandra or Cass is that the reality show opened up a lot of opportunities for her. Cass said she has no regrets about joining PBB and that if she had to do everything all over again, she’d do the exact same thing. “Wala akong babaguhin, yun pa rin kung ano yung nakita nilang Cass sa first edition, yun pa rin siguro. Ayokong baguhin kasi un yung minahal ng tao sa kin yung pagiging natural.”

She has done a few movies and TV shows, her most recent project being Your Song Presents Babalik Kang Muli. Though she does not have anything lined up yet, she is happy that she has more time to focus on the farming business she recently opened in Davao. “Masaya ako kasi after PBB nagkaroon ako ng maraming work. And now, pabalik-balik ako ng Davao kasi naka-put up ako dun ng maliit na business. Doon napunta pera ko after PBB, nag-ipon talaga ako. Kasi lumaki kami sa farm so yung business ko farming din. Banana plantation, dun ako nagfo-focus ngayon.”

While her business may be booming, Cass’s love life has been the opposite. The sexy Davaoeña has been single for four years now so she can focus on other things. “Sa ngayon wala pero happy ako kasi meron na akong pamangkin, first pamangkin ko kasi nag-asawa na yung kuya ko. Sa ngayon kasi work muna tapos business muna kasi nagsisimula pa lang yung business ko so dun muna.”
