Ms Olfato is a resident of Tanauan City, Batangas. A graduating Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering student of the University of the Philippines Los Baños, she intends to work for a company relevant to her chosen field or take a second degree, which is dentistry.

Ms Olfato received a cash prize of P250,000 from Toyota Alabang, Inc.

This is the second year Toyota Alabang staged this beauty tilt that is spearheaded by its Chairman, Cesar T. Lee; Vice Chairman Michael M. Lee; and President and General Manager Jhoanna Lee-See.
