Born in Bariles, Cebu, Vevherly was brought up in the farm lifestyle. At first, this 20-year-old girl will strike you as quiet and timid, but once she warms up to you, she’ll bravely speak her mind.

Beneath Vevherly’s charming and pretty face, however, hides a painful past. Since both her mother and father had separate families, Vevherly was hidden from relatives and friends for 10 years. When other people learned about her family, they looked down on her mother and regarded her as an illegitimate child.

By joining Survivor Philippines, Vevherly, a 4th year Criminology student from University of Cebu, wants to bring honor back to her mother and to show her critics that fame can also belong to the farm girl.

Washing clothes for a living seemed far from a ticket to join a reality show. But Zita’s strong personality was more than enough to make her qualified for the game.

Zita’s strength was the byproduct of a life marred with hardship. Growing up in a poor family, she remembers having to exchange harvested vegetables and wood for pencil and paper she can use in school.

Just like her mother, Zita ended up working as a helper from one household to another until she married one of her bosses in 1991. However, after having seven children, Zita discovered that she was also her husband’s 7th wife so she decided to leave her family.

Although she had multiple jobs, Zita had a financial crisis and incurred many debts. Still she hopes that she’ll earn enough money to give her youngest child the education she never had.

With her child’s future on the line, the 46-year-old laundrywoman wants to do whatever it takes to win the grand prize.
