Pascual is 28 years old and the only child of two deceased parents.  Pascual's mother died when he was a young boy and his father abandoned him for alcohol when he was only 12.  Pascual has lived with various relatives over his life and is still in a precarious situation because he did not inherent land from his parents.  He put himself through school and against great odds, graduated from high school in 2006.  Pascual is now a Roots & Wings scholarship recipient and studies school administration at the University Mariano Galvez.
