2005
The Beginning
I was born on February 8, 2005, in Cauayan City, where both my parents and extended family were raised. My early years were shaped by the care of my grandparents, who stepped in to support me and my siblings while our parents worked hard to provide for us. Eventually, my grandparents decided to move to Manila to seek better opportunities.
