Her father Teodoro taught her how to box as a child. She then took up the sport competitively so that she could help her family earn extra income. "The reason I chose boxing is because I can help my family and study for free. There are a lot of opportunities for me in the sport. At first, it wasn't my choice. It was more for self-defence only."

General
RETIREMENT THOUGHTS
She hit a low point in her career when she was knocked out of the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia in the first round. However, the following year she claimed gold at the 2019 World Championships in Ulan-Ude, Russian Federation. "When I lost my opening bout at the 2018 Asian Games, I really wanted to stop. I was going to look for a job. I was looking for other options. At that time, I was really feeling down. I was feeling depressed, I was stressed. Winning the 2019 World Championships has helped me a lot. It has certainly added to my self confidence." (philstar.com, 26 Dec 2022; spin.ph, 17 Aug 2021; olympicchannel.com, 07 Feb 2020)
