Papa and mama gave me the name "Angela" because of its Greek meaning, Heavenly Messenger. They call me Angel for short.

I was born on April 24, 2001 at Chinese General Hospital in Blumentritt, Manila, Philippines. I weigh 6.13 lbs and measures 19 inches.

I was baptized on July 29, 2001, lola Lucy's birthday, at St. Peter's Parish in Commonwealth, Quezon City. Mama said that they intentionally scheduled my baptismal on that date so lola Lucy can be with us on her birthday because she was in the province of Capiz then. But unfortunately, she was not able to make it because she was busy supervising the construction of the house. My godmothers are mama's classmates in college while my godfathers are papa's collegues in the Philippine National Police.

I started to walk when i was only 10 months old. The first word i learned to utter was "mama" .
