I was born in Cavite City a province south of Manila, capital of the Philippines; the oldest among the brood of five children to an average family. I grew up and was raised by my maternal grandparents for my father died early at a young age of 36 and my mother had to work as a grade school teacher; that left us to the care of my loving and nurturing grandparents who had taught us everything of value to life, to be responsible and disciplined at all times and for all times; the value of hard work, honesty and integrity, the essence of having a good heart, to be just and fair while upholding what is righteous and to value the family I was born into, this makes me proud to tell the world that what I am, I owe to the people who had struggled to raised me and made me what I am today; for this I am thankful.
With the help and support of my family, specially my mother's brother and sister's, I was able to finish my college degree in 1995; where I have pursued a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy course at The Our Lady of Fatima University. Five years previous to this I had finished my secondary schooling at the nearby college in our city, The San Sebastian College Recolletos; to where I had been first introduced to the world of prose and poetry by my English Literature teachers, during this time I am not really that interested about writing yet but I am already developing my interests on reading poetry then and as I go through my senior years and early years in college, where I have spent the first two years at the DeLaSalle University- Aguinaldo, I got more exposed to literature and it's famous literary figures; with curiosity on how these poets lived during their lifetime, I came to know some of them and got inspired by them in the process. So this is how I came to be on writing poetry though the degree I had finished is somewhere at the other end of the rope. But come to think of it I do believe that somehow poetry can be of help to the healing process and recovery of patients suffering from melancholy.
