I am Nina Bernaditte A.

Iligan, 21 years old, and was born and

raised here in Santo Nino Street, Mati City. I am the only daughter
of my parents and the only sister of my four brothers. My mother is
Mrs. Bernardita Agbas Iligan, a fulltime housewife. My father, on
the other hand, is Mr. Nestor Mapayo Iligan, whose occupation is a
tricycle driver. I had finished my junior and senior high school in
Mati National Comprehensive High School under the Humanities and
Social Sciences strand. Ever since I was still a young dreamer, it
was my ambition to become a news reporter. I thought of it as a
good and decent job to support my family, while pursuing my passion
in journalism. Unfortunately, out of unexpected circumstances, I
didn’t get to enroll in my dream course, and landed enrolling in a
language program—Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English.
Although, teaching is not my first choice when I entered college, I
had learned to love and embrace it along the way.

I am into indie-folk band music and that

explains why I love Ben and Ben songs. I also love to
dance, which I always do whenever I have spare time
in my days. I also love taking pictures of anything
that reminds me of nostalgia and golden youth. In
most days, I spend my time helping my parents in
our small business while doing online classes.
