On July 04, 1983 i was born in a wonderful world. I was the first child of Benny Tupas Leonida and Elsie Degoma Prudente. I live a normal childhood life, my parents give everything that i need. Years later our family becomes bigger as my 3 siblings were born, my brother Rey my sister Jonna Jen and our youngest sister Jenna Mae.
I went to Central School during my kindergarten years until grade 5, and i was transferred and able to finished my Elementary at Molo 2 Elementary School due to health problem.
I spent my first year and second year high school at Iloilo City High National High School as a scholar under the drum and bugle crops and i was able to participate in the ILOILO DINGYANG COMPITION under the TRIBU LONOK.
But during the summer of my second year my passion for basketball open the door for me to be part of the basketball varsity member of University of Iloilo as i participate for the try out. During my third year i was part of the champion team for the first ever street ball challenge in the Visayas Region by ADIDAS and was able to go to manila to meet KOBE BRYANT and we finish as second place overall.And i was able to finished my High School at the University of Iloilo.
I went to Iloilo Computer and Business College during my first year College because i was offer to play for that school, but it turns out not good for me, then my parents decided that I am not going to play basketball instead focus on my schooling and they transferred me at the University of San Agustin and took up Marketing Degree, I admit it is not that easy to let go the passion i love, the love of ball after one afternoon during one of the friendly game in the gymnasium someone approach me and want me to be part of the varsity team and they will going to return what ever payment i already made, first i am hesitant but my heart says i must go on.because of a lot of opportunities for playing as pro my study sacrifice but i am willing to finish it what ever it may take, education is the most important thing that matter.
