my Alona! Isabel Oli...



María Olivia S. Daytia, better known by her screen name Isabel Oli (born October 20, 1981 in Cebu City, Philippines) is a Filipina model and television and movie actress. She is the youngest of seven children of Chinese father and a Spanish-Filipino mother. Isabel graduated from the University of San Jose - Recoletos in Cebu with the degree of Information Technology. She started to get the attention of the viewers when she landed the role of “Isabel” in the Max’s restaurant commercial with multi-awarded actor Piolo Pascual. But it was her similarly named role of Isabel, the “alay” (sacrifice) and leading lady to matinee idol, Richard Gutierrez in Sugo, that launched her to full stardom. Her face currently graces the covers of glossy magazines, billboards and print ads and appears regularly on GMA TV shows.
