A pure Ilokana, I was born May 6, 1972 in Cabaritan East, Ballesteros, Cagayan, Philippines, the first born of the late Aurelio Macadangdang Daligcon Sr. of Sto. Niño, Cagayan and of Susana Temporal Guimmayen of Ballesteros, Cagayan.
I finished my grade school at Cabaritan East Elementary School, my highschool and college (Bachelor of Science in Information and Computer Science) at St. Paul University. I am currently pursuing my masteral studies in Information Technology.
Since June 1995, I am working as a computer instructor at the St. Paul University's College of Information Technology and as part time office personnel at the College's Ofice of the Dean. I am also the editor in chief of TechTalk, the College's quarterly publication.
Writing poetry and fiction (mostly in Iluko, the language of the Ilokano people) is one of my hobbies besides tinkering with computers and I also published some poems and short stories in various literary magazines. I am a regular member of GUMIL (Association of Ilokano Writers).
