Turing Quinto: A Tale of Resilience and Pride
Turing Quinto’s star rose when she appeared on the debut season of Drag Race Philippines. This short film delves into Turing’s aspirations, her fierce determination to excel in life, and the hurdles she, like many breadwinners, grapples with.
With the same spirit as anyone else pursuing a brighter future, Turing works with pride. She stands as a beacon of strength for her family, ensuring them, “Ako nang bahala sa pag tambling, Ma” amidst the hardships they encounter.
In a testament to her unyielding spirit, Turing performs in her living room, fueled by the cheers of her family and the empowering support of GCash. The digital financial platform enables her to receive real-time tips from fans nationwide.
GCash: A Trusted Companion in Turing’s Journey
Recounting her experience, Turing shares, “Sobrang proud ako sa film na ‘to, kasi it really showed how GCash was there during some of my most challenging times,” shares Turing. “Especially nung lockdown kasi virtual shows lang ang nagagawa naming drag performers kasi sarado lahat ng bars and clubs, ang laking tulong ng GCash para makatanggap kami ng tips in real time, and I got to continue doing what I love the most.” Turing highlights the invaluable aid GCash provided, especially during lockdown when virtual shows were the only avenue for drag performers.
