It&#x27;s just like feel-good food.&quot;</p><p>The &quot;Drivers License&quot; hitmaker recalled how her grandmother used to make lumpia for the family. &quot;My grandma used to make them for Thanksgiving every year so that was probably my first introduction to lumpia. I&#x27;m making like roll ones, and she would always make the triangle ones, but triangle ones are saved for Thanksgiving for me,&quot; she relayed.</p><p>In the same video feature, Olivia also teased about her upcoming album.</p><p>&quot;I feel like the album is very varied. I really want to figure out a way to kind of write about joy in this album. I feel like my last two albums are very rightfully so kind of angsty and heartbroken. And just as a creative endeavor and also because I was experiencing a lot of joy in my life, I wanted to figure out how to inject that into the songs that I was making,&quot; she stated.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWEtmCTNavg/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A62129.80000001192%2C%22ls%22%3A61439.5%2C%22le%22%3A62098.90000000596%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1293" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Back in October 2024, Olivia visited the Philippines as she brought her <em>Guts</em> tour to the country.</p><p>She shared that the visit meant a lot to her, describing it as something she had dreamed about for years.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m half Filipino.
