Do you remember "Badjao Girl"? She was that girl whose picture became viral in social media a few months ago because her beauty was quite extra-ordinary.



She is Rita Gabiola, a lass who is a native of Zamboanga. Because of poverty she and her family had been moving from one place to another in search of a place to live. Time has brought them to Lucena in Quezon province.

She was watching a procession when she was spotted by a photographer who took several "stolen shots" of her. The photographer then posted Gaviola's pictures on his social media account and it went viral because the netizens liked her beauty.

"Our lives has changed a lot since my photos went viral, we're no longer suffering from so much poverty, we can eat three time a day now, and we are no longer begging in the streets," Gaviola said in an interview.

Gaviola did not expect that her life would get a very good turn because of some photos of her. But what is most unexpected is that she is now included in the new season of PBB or Pinoy Big Brother. Gaviola is now part of the grouyp of housemates for PBB.

Of course, she auditioned for it, she waited in long lines just for the audition and luckily out of the thousands who auditioned she was selected. Gaviola said that one of her dreams is to become an actress.
