Let's keep talking!

Kaibigan, tuloy ang usap!

Olive, maraming maraming salamat.

Thank you, Tito Boy. I'm so happy to be with you again.

The last interview I did with you, tayo'y nasa New York, kasama si Ms. Universe.

Correct.

Pero may mga bagay na hindi na babago, katulad na lamang ng iyong kagandahan.

Wow naman. Thank you, Tito Boy.

You look gorgeous. You look beautiful, as always.

And the best thing about you, Olive, is we've been friends for quite a while, but you're lovely inside and out.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Olive, are you at your peak today?

I would say yes, but I want to climb more.

Ipaliwanag mo yun.

You know, iba minsan sabi nila, you're at the top of the mountain, pero yun yung beginning ng another mountain.

So, ang gusto ko kasi, I never had small dreams, Tito Boy.

I always have big dreams.

Even though when I was younger, yung maliliit na dreams, wala ako nun eh.

Gusto ko, I want to dream big. I want to aim high. Ganun talaga.

Ano yung maliit na dreams? Ano yung malalaking dreams nung ika'y bata pa?

So, yung malalaking dreams, yung mga dreams na sa tingin kong ang hirap abutin.

Katulad?

Katulad ng, gusto ko maging businesswoman.

Ano pa lang ako nun, grade elementary.

Pero hindi ko alam pa pano, pero gusto ko.

You go back to the story when your father had a stroke when he was 35.

Correct. Yes.

Diba? And you were nine years old.

Take me back to that time nung ika'y pumasok sa chapel po ng UST Hospital at you bargained, you negotiated with God.

Yes. Naalala mo, Tito Boy?

Oo naman.

So, my dad had a heart attack when he was 35.

So, I remember nung pumunta ko sa hospital, pumunta ko sa chapel,

I prayed, God, bigyan mo pa yung daddy ko ng longer life.

Kasi love na love ko daddy ko eh.

So, kami ng sister ko, daddy's girl kami eh.

So, sabi ko, Lord, bigyan mo yung daddy ko ng mahabang buhay.

Yun talagang hihilingin ko sa'yo.

And he did. Ngayon, daddy ko nag-celebrate ng birthday yesterday.

He's now 73 years old.

Now that you're at your peak, beginning creating another peak,

gaano ka kadalas makipag-negotiate, makipag-usap, makipag-bargain, magdasal sa Diyos?

At kung ginagawa mo yun, ano yung mga hinihiling mo?

So, pala, yung pag-uusap na sinasabi mo, Tito Boy, araw-araw yun.

Hindi lang sa gabi bago matulog, pero yung during the time na parang kaibigan mo na,

Lord, gusto ko ng ganito, tulungan mo ko dito.

Lord, masakit ulo ko, tanggalin mo yung sakit ng ulo ko.

Mga bagay na small details na pwede pala natin yung pagdasal.

Usually, sinasabi natin na may mga bagay din, Tito Boy, na ang dami kong pangarap.

Pero, Lord, hindi ko ito kaya, pero kaya mo ito.

So, palaging nang may negotiation.

Lord, parang gusto ko nito, pero ang hirap.

Pero alam mo pa pano, tulungan mo ko.

Maraming negotiations na ganoon.

May binibigay, may hindi binibigay.

Correct.

Pag mga pagkakataon na hindi binibigay sa'yo, anong sinasabi mo sa sarili mo?

Kasi para sa akin, Tito Boy, delaying is not a denial.

But minsan kasi it's a protection.

So, para sa akin na may delay, pero ibig sabihin na sandali, wait muna.

Hindi naman ibig sabihin delay, ibig sabihin hindi na mangyayari.

At no point in your life na sinabi mo, bakit yun naman hindi binigay?

Dati.

Meron.

Oo, dati.

Lord, bakit hindi mo binigay ito?

Ito, gustong gusto ko, bakit hindi mo binigay?

Pero later on mo malalaman bakit.

So, may mga bagay na sinasabi na, Lord, wait, I will let you know why later.

Tapos makikita ko nga, kaya pala hindi binigay kasi hindi pala ito para sa akin.

When you were wading through the waters, nung naglalakbay ka, pumunta ka ng Amerika 2003.

Correct.

Meron kang baon-baon na diploma galing sa Binild.

Correct.

Pero business ang iyong kurso.

Yes.

Paano mo nalaman na ang passion at ang puso mo, ibang itinuturo?

Kasi grade 2 pa lang ako, Tito Boy.

Pag nagtuturo yung teacher sa classroom, nagsusulat ng lecturer.

Pag nakita mo yung notes ko, hindi lecturer e, puro drawing ng kilay.

Mahilig akong mag-drawing ng kilay.

Babaga, bata pala akong hilig ko na magpaganda.

So, mag-drawing ako ng mata, lalagyan ko ng pilik mata.

So, alam ko na agad na yun yung gusto kong gawin.

Anything about beauty.

Pagkatapos nun, pero walang opportunity kasi ang mami ko kasi mahilig magpaganda.

So, kung umaalik sa mami ko going to work, pupunta ko sa dresser niya.

Pukunin ko yung mga lipstick niya, itatry ko siya.

Nang hindi alam ng mami ko.

Pagbalik, oh, ginalaw mo na naman yung gamit ko.

Kasi alam niya na wala na sa proper place yung kanyang mga makeup and lipstick.

So, bata pa lang ako yun na yung gusto.

Okay, so you knew from the very beginning.

Sa Amerika, it was not easy.

Nag-aral ka muli.

Yes.

And then you took up cosmetology, nag-aesthetician, and it was not easy.

Correct.

Marami na ang nandoon at marami na mga established names.

Hindi lamang sa Amerika, pero dito rin sa Pilipinas.

May mga pagkakataon bang nanghina ka dahil inaapi ka?

Maraming beses dito, boy.

Anong klaseng pang-aapi ang naranasan mo?

Yung parang kakagraduate ko.

Nari, kakagraduate ko lang this month.

Pagkatapos, magsasabi ako, alika magpa-facial ka sa akin.

Hindi sila nagtitiwala kasi first thing that they will ask, gano'ng katagal mo na yung ginagawa?

Pag sinabi ko, kakagraduate ko lang kasi last week, parang ay, sandali, ayoko pumunta sa'yo.

Same thing sa pagugupit ng bohok.

Hindi tayo pupunta sa nagugupit ng bohok na kakagraduate lang nila two weeks ago.

Gusto mo yung matagal na sila nagugupit.

So I think yung trust factor, Tito Boy, that was probably the hardest.

At saka you built it.

Paano mo nalampasan yun?

Matagal, Tito Boy, dalawang taon.

So minsan iniisip nila na, pero pangarap ko talaga na gusto ko maging successful.

So what I did, magpa-pass out ako ng mga flyering sa mga supermarket,

pupunta ako sa mga windshield, lalagyan ko ng mga flyers yung mga kotse.

For every 50 flyers, Tito Boy, guess ilan tatawag sa'kin?

Dalawa?

Wala. Walang tatawag.

So for every 100 flyers, Tito Boy, guess kung ilan ang tatawag sa'kin?

Siguro naman meron ng…

Isa.

Oh my God.

Oo, isa lang.

So yung isa na yun, one hour and a half lang ang facial, kahit two hours and a half,

kung gusto pa niya, sasayawan ko pa siya sa harap niya kasi umuuo siya sa akin e.

So imagine mo, Tito Boy, from 9am to 9pm, nadudun ako sa salon where I was working.

Isa lang ang client ko a day.

$45 ang facial, sasabihin pa nila,

Sige, ano Olivia, pwede bang $35 na lang?

Sige nalikan na, basta humiga ka lang.

Ganon.

Ganon, Tito Boy, napakahirap.

So probably that was two years ko na experience yun.

Hanggat nagsimula, dahan-dahan.

Dahan-dahan, super tagal.

Yung two years na yun, during that time, pag-isipin mo ay two years lang,

pero during that time na araw-araw ka nag-aantay ng mga clients, sobrang tagal ng panahon na yun.

Olive, sa paglalakbay natin, lalo na during your struggling years,

meron at merong bayani.

There's a hero that comes along.

Aside from your parents, aside from your family, na hindi ka iniwan kahit kailanman,

sino yung hero ng buhay mo?

Si Tita Lodi Garcia tsaka Charlie Garcia, sila yung may-ari ng salon where I was renting.

So meron silang small kitchen.

Imagine mo, Tito Boy, yung likod ko, nakasandal na sa wall.

Yung feet ng client, nakasandal na rin sa wall.

So that was the size of the room.

Sobrang liit lang.

Pero yung si Tita Lodi and Uncle Charlie, sila yung may-ari ng salon na yun.

Tinutulungan nila ako na yung mga ginugupita nila,

magpa-facial ka dun, magaling yung batang yun.

O kaya, kasi sila, she's been in the business at that time for 20 plus years.

So yung mga clients niya, nagtitiwala sa kanya.

So sinasabi niya na, magpa-facial ka dun sa batang yun, magaling yun.

So unti-unti, may one a day, two a day.

Tama yung sinabi mo, meron talagang bayani sa bawat buhay ng tao.

Meron talaga.

How tough was it because you were in the US?

Meron ka bang mga pinagdaanang diskriminasyon because you were a Filipina, Asian,

babae, may pinagdaanan ka?

Mga kababayan, ako yung natutuwa po.

I'm proud to introduce to you Sendwave,

the fee-free remittance app for OFWs and kababayans living abroad.

Visit the link on the description for more info.

Maraming salamat po.

Di masyado, Tito Boy, kasi wala ako.

Yung circle ko doon, puro Filipino lang eh.

Okay.

Kumbaga, sa school, medyo hindi ka masyadong kakausapin.

Kunwari, marami kayong magkakaklasa, 30 plus kayo.

Lahat iba-ibang, minority kasi tayo doon eh.

Pero walang masyado lumalapit sa akin para makipagkaibigan nung nagsisimula ako.

So parang ako yung kailangan lumapit at sabihin,

Hi, I'm Olivia. I'm a Filipina.

Kumbaga, you have to make the introduction for them to see you.

Okay. And the short of the long story, ilan na ngayon ang iyong clinic sa mga malls?

So I have one clinic. I have one distribution.

Pero I have 77 distributors all over the world.

Okay. And then, you have a clinic in the mall?

Correct. And may warehouse kami, shipping department.

Isang malaking warehouse yun where we ship products worldwide.

Olive, how rich are you today?

Rich enough na masasabi kong I live comfortably.

Na hindi ko na kailangan tumingin sa menu sa kanan, kundi tumitingin ako sa kaliwa ng menu.

Kasi tinitignan ko na yung pagkain talaga before tumitingin ako sa price.

Ang sarap pag-usapan, ang sarap pakigan, lalo na naalam natin na pinaghirapan.

Correct.

Let's talk about Miss Universe.

Yes.

Kumusta si Olivia Quido at ang Miss Universe?

How is your relationship?

Hindi linid sa kaalaman ng buong mundo na nagkaroon ng bagong mayari.

Ang napakagandang si Miss Anne ng Thailand.

So, tuloy-tuloy ba ang inyong relasyon? Tell me your story.

So yes, nakilala ko siya, Tito Boy, before pa niya bilhin yung Miss Universe.

So akala nila lahat na nakilala ko after nun nabili.

So before pa lang nabili, nakilala ko na siya, pumunta ko sa Thailand.

At that time, tama-tama I was there.

And then, one of the Miss Universe person, parang organization,

said na gusto ka mamitin itong person na to.

Kasi nabalita niya, skin care partner ako.

So, pinasundo ako Tito Boy sa hotel.

Noong pinasundo ako, super VIP, meron siyang naka Mercedes Benz, may chauffeur, may assistant.

Dinala ako sa office nila.

So pagdating sa office ni Anne, namit ko na si Anne,

nag-shake hands, and then nag-usap lang kami briefly.

Then after that, doon nag-start yung friendship namin.

Until now, we talk every week.

Kahit na nasa Thailand siya, nasa US ako, we talk every week.

We update.

Sabi niya na happy siya na naging magkaibigan kami.

Naging close kami noong nagpunta kami sa New Orleans,

and then nagpunta kami sa New York.

Last month, we went to Asia, sa Bali, sa Thailand.

Nagpunta kami sa Vietnam.

Sabi niya, Miss Olivia, I want you to come with me to Asia

because I want you to meet my friends and my colleagues, my business partners.

I want you to do networking with them.

Super generous ni Anne.

We saw you judge in the last Miss Universe in New Orleans.

Olivia, what is beauty to you?

Beauty to me, Tito Boy, hindi lang sa mukha.

It has to, the true beauty should come from within.

So minsan kasi, marami ako, four years na ako sa Miss Universe, Tito Boy.

Andami ko na meet beauty queens, delegates, before and after the pageant.

Nanalo na sila, natalo. Marami akong naging kaibigan sa kanila.

Marami sa kanila na sumasali ng pageant na may charity na ginagawa na before.

Marami rin sa kanila, sumali ng pageant, gumagawa ng charity

because they have to have an advocacy when they do the pageant.

So, gusto ko kasi, Tito Boy, yung mga babae na maganda sila sa harap at labas ng camera.

Yun yung beauty para sa akin.

Hindi lang dahil naka-on yung camera, ang ganda ng pakikipag-usap sa tao.

Pero pag naka-off yung camera, hindi na sila masyadong, yun yung maganda sa akin, importante, konsistente.

Oo. But as a judge of the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant, ano yung hinahanap mo?

I was looking at that time also, not only as a beauty side, how they carry themselves.

And also, kasi may mga time ka din to mingle with them. I have a beauty day with them.

So, aside from being a judge, I was, as a skincare partner, meron akong almost like two hours with them.

Nakakausapin mo, tatura mo sila paano magpa-beauty.

Usually, they give me an hour and a half but last time, super short lang yung time because it was a crunch time for them.

Pero yung idea na pag meron akong time na nakikita sila, tinitita ko how they are, how they are with my assistants.

Ang napansin ko rin kasi kay Miss Universe, Arbonine, noon nanalo siya, I have assistants with me.

Pag nagbababay siya sa mga tao when we have a party in the room, magbababay siya sa presidente, sa may-ari, sa akin,

lahat ng assistants hanggang sa pinakatao dun sa event place. Nakita ko yung heart niya. Sabi ko, mabait naman ito.

In the country, in the Philippines, maraming mga Miss Universe Beauty Pageant fans were disappointed

kasi hindi nakapasok si Celeste Cortese sa top 16. In your opinion, bakit hindi siya nakapasok?

Bakit hindi nakapasok si Celeste Cortese sa top 16?

Si Celeste, when I first saw her on the picture sa Instagram, napakaganda. Ang ganda ng aura.

Ang laki ng winning potential natin. But then, during that time, 90 plus delegates,

ang dami sobrang nagshine ng mga iba pagdating sa stage. For example, nag-judge kami,

tapos nakita namin lumabas si Aruba or Costa Rica. Pagdating paglabas ng Pilipinas, maganda pero hindi masyadong,

alam mo yung tinatawag na stage presence, hindi lumabas masyado. Yung glow, yung hinahanap namin na glow.

Pero yung ganda na doon, yung ganda ng damit na doon, yung aura. Siguro, I would say,

hindi ko masigurado kung ano yung exact words, Tito Boy, pero when I saw her, I was looking for the glow

and the stage presence and the aura na hinahanap ng mga judges, which we all agree.

Ang judges ba doon sa preliminary is a different set of judges?

Exactly.

Iba sila sa judges for the finals?

So, kunwari may six doon, dalawa doon, hindi kasama sa finals.

Okay. Now I understand.

Correct.

Alright. But did you know, nung umupo ka during the pageant night, nakita mo yung 16, somehow in your gut,

did you know that Arbuny was a very strong contender?

Nung lumabas siya with the cape, yes. Yes. Pero nung una, hindi ko siya masyado napansin eh.

Pero nung lumabas sa stage, lahat ng judges, paglabas, naririnig mo eh.

Katabi ko eh, mga judges, naririnig ko paglabas ni Arbuny ang mga judges.

Wow! Gumano eh. Meron kang maririnig na mga, meron siyang something about her na paglabas niya,

ang lakas ng dating.

What closed the deal? Ika nga, nung contest is ongoing, what finally said, she's a winner?

The way siguro siya mag-interact with the audience, sobrang confident.

Sobrang confident, yung parabang when she answered the question, you can tell na she's so smart.

Olive, ang produkto mo is in 77, I would imagine you have 77 distributors.

Correct.

Does it mean that you are in how many countries?

Only like 5 to 6 countries, pero nandodon silang lahat.

Ano ang iyong mensahe sa mundo? Tungkol sa kagandahan, tungkol sa Ms. O, at iba pa?

Ang mensahe ko sa mundo, they have to take care of themselves.

Kasi nag-start yun with good skin and then nabibuild yung self-esteem, Tito Boy.

Pag nabuild yung self-esteem, dominant effect na yun eh.

You become positive, yung pag-aalaga sa sarili, it always starts with self-care.

Gusto ko makakuha ng produkto na gawa ng Ms. O Skincare dito sa Pilipinas.

Saan ako pupunta?

Sa oskinph.com, meron din siya sa Lazada and also sa Shopee, Tito Boy.

Olive, meron tayong tinatawag na the what questions.

Okay, alright.

Okay, hindi fast talk, but the what questions.

Okay.

Olivia, what are you when you're alone?

I'm quiet.

What makes you happy?

Family.

What hurts you?

Betrayal.

What do you know about love?

Unconditional.

What can't you forgive?

Nothing.

What is it that you still want?

I want to dream bigger.

What is it to be like you?

Generous.

What is it like to win?

Fulfilling.

What is it like to fail?

It hurts.

What is the best thing about Olivia Quito?

I am an evangelist and a follower of Jesus Christ.

What is the biggest misconception about Olivia?

Na sosyal ako.

What means to you the most?

Importante sa akin, the trust.

What is it like to be Olivia right now?

Contented.

What is your name if you were not Olivia?

Sharon.

What is heaven for you?

Full of forgiven people.

What is your love language?

Words.

The Lord is at the pearly gates and you're there, about to enter.

The Lord God said,

Son, what is the best thing you have done for me?

What will you say to Him?

Jesus, I saved a lot of souls for you.

For example, hypothetically,

we will go to hell.

Who do you think you will see there?

A lot.

No names?

No.

Because they are burning.

Olivia, thank you very much.

Thank you, Tito Boy!

Thank you.
