Career[]
Quinto started her showbiz career after landing a spot in That's Entertainment (1996). Her first major role was in Gloria, Gloria Labandera (1997). Quinto is widely known for playing the character 'Booba' and 'Boobita Rose' in both hit movies, a role for which Quinto inspired an international catchphrase in the Philippine vernacular to refer to a lack of English fluency as having a "nose bleed".
Quinto has won four PMPC Star Awards and has starred in top-grossing films such as , Pasukob, Desperadas, Manay Po 2, I.T.A.L.Y. and Desperadas 2. Although Quinto is a talent of GMA Network, she is one of the few actresses managed by Boy Abunda, a personality from the rival TV station ABS-CBN.

On August 30, 2007, burglars broke into Quinto's house in an exclusive subdivision in Quezon City; she lost valuable property worth P2 million (a watch worth P1.2 million, a laptop, and valuables from inside her bag).[1][2]
In 1999–2000, Quinto dated singer songwriter politician Dingdong Avanzado. She has also dated singer Erik Santos.[3]
Quinto married financial analyst Trevor Magallanes on November 25, 2016 in Quezon City.[4] The two had met in 2016, during Quinto's fifth visit in the United States.[5] She gave birth to their first daughter Athena on February 18, 2017.[6] Quinto and her daughter splits their time between the Philippines and the United States, where her husband is based.[7] As of September 2020, she and her daughter have applied for a U.S. green card.[8]
