“They have been so lovely and are so welcoming and supportive of me,” she added.

Of course, many Pinoys are happy as well that Olivia is openly acknowledging her roots.

Though she was born and bred in the US, growing up in Marietta, California before moving to Los Angeles to act and then sing, Olivia maintained she is a Pinoy through and through, happily relating how she is quite familiar with Filipino food and traditions.

According to Olivia, her great-grandfather moved from the Philippines to the US as a teenager.

She is about to make history too, having earned seven nominations for this year’s Grammy Awards, all due to her debut album “SOUR,” which includes a slew of hits including “Traitor,” “Good 4 U,” “Deja Vu” and “Driver’s License.”
