Gaviola became an internet sensation after her picture, taken by Topher Quinto Burgos, went viral earlier this year. Burgos wrote, “Nakita lang namin siya nanghihingi ng barya. Kapatid nating mga Badjao na may angkin ganda.”
From then on, donations poured in for Gaviola and her family’s fate has turned for the better. She told ABS-CBN, “Masaya kasi hindi na po kami naghihirap. Hindi na po kami pakalat-kalat sa kalye. Hindi na po kami sumasakay sa mga jeep.”
Now, the Badjao girl wants to become an actress. She braved through the long lines of PBB audition to get a shot at her dream.
When asked what kind of actress does she want to be, she said she wanted to be like Irene, played by Cristine Reyes-Khatibi, in the show “Tubig at Langis.”
“Palaban po sya at parang gigil na gigil sya,” she said. “Gusto ko po yun.”
