Olivia does not only have a good voice, but a good heart. She chose to donate her entire revenue for GUTS tour PH to Jhpiego Philippines, a non-profit organization, that focuses on women's sexual and reproductive health and rights.
During her performance of So American, she changed the lyrics to So Filipina. She said that during that night she was feeling so Filipina that made her fans scream at the top of their lungs.
The pop star said that her family on her father's side are Filipino. She shared that she visited the Philippines a month ago and described it as the biggest show of her career.
Olivia heard that Filipinos are good at karaoke, and witnessed it at her concert. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon for 'The Tonight Show,' Olivia raved about her Filipino audience: "Perfectly on pitch. Perfectly on cue."
Olivia's team explained that they wanted more local fans to experience the tour. The ticket price only costs 1,500 pesos.
