PERSONAL INFORMATION

Selina Reroma Bravo was born on June 11, 1989 in Talisay, Cebu. She is the elder of two children born to Romero Bravo; a neurosurgeon, and Katrina Reroma Bravo. Both Romero and Katrina are surgeons, and are well-respected in the medical community and society. Selina lived a very opulent, but strict Roman Catholic upbringing. She attended an all-female school run by Catholic nuns in Cebu City until high school. She graduated with honors and was determined to be a doctor like her parents. For her undergraduate studies, Selina acquired a degree in Medical Technology; graduating top of her class in 2009. She proceeded immediately to medical school, enrolling in the top school in Cebu City. In January 2011; after almost 2 years in into the program, she mysteriously dropped-out and ran away from home. She initially offered no explanation to her parents, and just cut-off all communication with her family, relatives, and friends in Cebu.

Selina escaped to Manila, where very few people knew her, and tried very hard to hide her identity. She used the savings in her banks, and her credit card to survive until she was able to find a job at a call centre in Makati City. Although she has visited Metro Manila several times, she found the adjustment to actually living in it very daunting. She is fluent in Tagalog, but would have lapses in pronunciation because of her Cebuano accent. She  didn't feel comfortable around people and trusted very few. Because of this, she hopped from one company to another. She worked for four different employers in three years,
