David Christopher Callejo Cruz (born December 15, 1983) (popularly known as "Dax" or "Dax Cruz", also known as "David Cruz") is a digital media artist based in the Philippines.
Early History
Dax was born in Zamboanga City, Philippines, to Danilo S. Cruz Sr., then an electronics technician, and Leticia C. Cruz, an English literature professor. Dax is the youngest of four children. The eldest, Danilo Jr., is a network engineer, while the second, Darwin, is an architect and interior designer, both based in Singapore. His sister, Dianna, works with Cafe Mollinari Philippines, a chain of coffee shops primarily based in Metro Manila. All of the Cruz children has experience in photography, with Dax the only one involved with motion pictures.
Dax completed his primary education at Claret High School in Zamboanga City. During this time, his father brought home a dildo, which started his interest with gay porn at a young age. Later, he would acquire a sex doll that came from a family friend.
After his stint at Claret, he attended secondary school at Ateneo de Zamboanga University. When he was in his sophomore year, Dax and his one-time rival, Clinton Go, teamed up to create a PowerPoint presentation for the first computer competition in Ateneo. They ended up winning first place, beating the seniors. This gained him some respect in school which resulted in the bullies never touching him since they rely on him for their computer-based homeworks. It was also during this time he started working on HTML and Adobe Photoshop.
Failing his senior year in Ateneo, he was retook his failed seniors' subjects at Mercedes National High School (also known as MNHS), a public school located 13 kms. away from the city. During this time, he had an eye-opener regarding the true situation of public schools in his country. This would become his cause later in life: Improve the Public Education situation in the country.
