Zita Ortiga- Survivor Philippines

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.
