My mum was born in Tabuk, Philippines and lived with
her parents and 3 sisters. Out of her 3 sisters, she was
the oldest. She came to New Zealand in August, 1997,

from her family to come to New Zealand. A few years
after she came to New Zealand, her sister followed.
As a child, she enjoyed volleyball, badminton, hiking
and playing the piano.
