Looking beyond Linda’s façade

April 08, 2008 8:32 PM

The teen housemates know Linda not for being sweet and sensitive but rather for being outright harsh. This earned the Bikini Babe from Iriga 7 nomination points from her fellow housemates who feel she has attitude problem. Her crude comments were plainly a turn off to the other teens and this gave them the impression that she’s indeed difficult to handle. Only when Linda chose to cry alone, refusing to show her emotions towards the other housemates, were people able to see a different side of this lass.

Linda revealed to Kuya that she’s missing her father a lot. For the first time during her stay in Kuya’s house, the tough girl broke down into tears as she recounted fond memories of her father. Linda even shared that when she was a kid, her father would often tuck her in and tickle her feet to put her to sleep. When her parents separated it was very difficult for her and her brother to live far away from their dad.

On Uber this afternoon, Linda’s father Daddy Hans was invited over to give a perspective of the Linda he knows. Linda’s parents were separated when she was young and this led her to build a tough exterior. She joined bikini contests in order to augment her family's finances. Daddy Hans has not seen Linda in 3 years, 2 months and 27 days now for he is currently staying in Norway after a work related accident which left him with an injured back and neck. Although he is getting a meager stipend from the Norwegian government, Daddy Hans said he tries to help out Linda as much as he can and sends her money from time to time. He admits to having a good relationship with his daughter despite the turmoil the separation has caused. He knows Linda through and through and his daughter isn’t the tough girl other people see her to be. Daddy Hans knows her as a rather sweet, smart and sensitive girl.

Daddy Hans is celebrating his birthday today and Kuya plans to give the Backlund’s a surprise! Daddy Hans would be spending the rest of the evening with Linda, giving father and daughter time to catch up with one another. Would a visit from her dad bring out Linda’s sensitive side? Be the first to see this heartfelt encounter on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime Bida!
