JONATHAN B. CAYSIDO

I was born on July 26, 1999 in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. I currently live in Quezon City, Metro Manila. My parents are Rosemarie and Deodito Caysido. I am the seventh among nine siblings: Jheng, Balong, Jima, Joey, Jene Ann, Jhen, Jheny, and Jelyn. I finished Senior High School at Dacap Norte National High School. Right now, I work hard as a cook and staff at a Korean convenience store. In my free time, I enjoy watching videos on my phone and playing mobile games. But above all else, my greatest dream is to give my family—especially my parents—a comfortable life, so they no longer have to go through hardships. I grew up knowing that life is not easy, which is why I am determined to work hard. My parents have always been my strongest guide and inspiration to keep moving forward. I am also deeply grateful to my partner, who has helped and encouraged me greatly through every challenge. All my hard work and sacrifices are for my family’s future—so one day I can say that every bit of effort was truly worth it. �
