Ashley Ortega says mom has yet to reply following her attempts to reconnect
In her GMA Integrated News interview with Aubrey Carampel alongside her fellow ex-PBB housemates, which aired on Friday, Ashley was asked about the status of her relationship with her mom.
'Honestly we're still working on it, Ms. Aubrey. Sobrang tagal rin kasi ng three years na hindi pag-uusap and malalim rin po talaga 'yung sugat na nabigay namin sa isa't-isa,' she said. '[I'm] always reaching out pero baka need time pa.'
When asked if her mom had already talked to her, Ashley said not yet.
'I tried po talaga, kakalabas ko lang, kasi nakatanggap rin naman po ako ng letter sa kaniya. Also on Mother's Day, I tried. I messaged her,' she said.
It has been almost three months since Ashley exited 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition' with AC Bonifacio.
During her time in Kuya's house, Ashley shared that she has not spoken to her mom for three years and hopes she can forgive her.
Prior to being evicted, Ashley received a letter of reconciliation from her mother.
In a previous 'Unang Hirit' guesting, Ashley said that she sent her mother flowers after her exit from "PBB."

Following Liza Soberano's tell-all, celebs leave supportive messages on actress' Instagram post
After Liza Soberano's cathartic tell-all, celebrity friends took the time to leave comments of support in her social media post about her "Can I Come In?" episode. Kelsey Merritt left emojis of a healing heart and teary eyed emoticon, while former beauty queen Katarina Rodriguez said she wanted "to hug you Liza." Drag Race star Marina Summers simply expressed her love for Liza. "Mahal Kita," she said. Stylist Perry Tabora said "Your strength and courage are your freedom," while model Sanya Smith thanked Liza for sharing her story. "This is beautifully done. So incredibly moving and so powerful. I haven't stopped crying since I just finished it," Pepe Smith's daughter continued. Jackie Forster promised to keep Liza in her prayers. "You are so brave and inspiring," she said. "Trust that in time all wounds heal. You need to know you are worthy and you are loved. Sending the biggest mama hugs to you. Please know you are not alone," Jackie thoughtfully said. "Can I Come In?" creator Sarah Bahbah told Liza, "I love you and I'm so proud of you." In her post that showed clips of her episode, Liza said she was "beyond honored and excited to have been part of this project." Tagging Bahbah, the Filipino-American actress complimented the director saying "your vision and creativity are absolutely transcendent." "You have an incredible gift of transforming pain into healing, building cinematic worlds where raw emotion and narrative become visual art. The way you layer performance with storytelling deepens the emotional core, creating an achingly authentic resonance," Liza added. "It's been a dream collaborating with you and along the way you've become someone I feel safe confiding in. You have a beautiful heart," she said. Liza's episode on "Can I Come In?" has been the talk of the town. Apart from admitting she had split from Enrique Gil three years ago, Liza also opened up about her traumatic childhood, and the plenty abuses she endured. Liza's participation in "Can I Come In?" was first announced in May. The "podcast-cinema-documentary hybrid" created by Bahbah features six women artists from around the world. On YouTube, Bahbah said "Can I Come In?" is the "first-of-its-kind immersive art series, where vulnerability meets high-cinema." "Every guest is invited into a deeply personalized set to release a story they've never told before. Each episode is unscripted and captures the emotional essence of a lived experience, visually, viscerally, and unapologetically," she adds. Presented by WePresent, the first episode of "Can I Come In?" dropped last June 3. — LA, GMA Integrated News
