I was born on June 20, 1982, in Sabangan, Mountain Province, Philippines. My parents are Mrs. Brenda Felwa Andaya and Mr. Gabriel Sacgaca Dup-et. I am the eldest of seven siblings, with one sister among us. I completed my kindergarten at Little Flower Children’s School, followed by my elementary education at Tacdian Catholic School and my secondary education at San Jose High School. Before earning my degree in BS Biological Science in 2004 and completing my Special Education diploma, I pursued BS Aviation (Flying) at Airlink International Aviation College from 1999 to 2001.
