Not the first time the superstar singer/songwriter has taken a philanthropic approach, Olivia recently donated 100% of the profits from her debut concert in the Philippines to women’s health charity Jhpiego. Born partial Filipino descent, on October 5 she performed to a sold-out crowd at Bocaue’s Philippine Arena and following the show, the Grammy award winner took to social media and confirmed that all of the net profits would benefit the local cause, which focuses on ensuring women receive quality health care.
On her Instagram account, Olivia wrote “Been dreaming of this show for a whileeeee. my first time in the Philippines and also my biggest venue ever!!!!! thank you to everyone Manila for welcoming me so generously and making me feel so loved and thank you to @americanexpress for making this show happen.
