Orthodox (boxrec.com, 01 Jan 2020)

She began boxing at age 16 in Iloilo, Philippines. (Athlete, 02 Aug 2021; gmanetwork.com, 27 Aug 2020; ringtv.com, 25 Mar 2020)

She and her cousin used to watch boxers train at a town plaza in Iloilo, Philippines. A coach then invited her to try the sport, and she saw boxing as an opportunity to improve her family's financial situation. "[My parents] were wondering why, when I got home after class, I was not in my uniform anymore, I was wearing my father's clothes. That's what I wore when I trained. My mother is just a housekeeper, my father does carpentry. So it was really tough to send us through school, because my older sister was also in college. If I did not try, I might not have been able to go to school." (gmanetwork.com, 27 Aug 2020; ringtv.com, 25 Mar 2020)

She trains with the national team at the facilities of the Philippine Sports Commission in Baguio, Philippines. (manilatimes.net, 23 Jan 2023)

EARLY DAYS
She trained with Filipino female boxers Josie Gabuco, Analisa Cruz, and Annie Albania when she took up the sport at age 16. "I said to myself, 'They were really good. Where did they get their strength, they were women'. When I was in the ring [with Annie Albania], I was unable to throw a punch. I just covered myself in the corner until the referee counted me out. That was it. When they compete abroad, they always come home with medals. And it's not just silvers and bronzes, they always come home with the gold, so it's really inspiring. If men could do it, then women could do it too. It's safe for women because we have gear, we have complete equipment. All they need is the knowledge." (gmanetwork.com, 27 Aug 2020)
