the Philippines. Her mother left her father due to his infidelity. Jessy's younger sister
Megan was born in Mexico, where her parents reconciled but eventually separated
again for unknown reasons. She remains in contact with her father, who works overseas
as a marine anthropologist.[4] She studied mass communication at Far Eastern
