Hirojenel Benz Magalona Peralta (born November 7, 1994 in Manila, Philippines), better known by his stage name Hiro Peralta, is a Filipino former actor best known for his roles in Little Nanay and Tween Hearts.
Early life and education
Peralta was born in Manila and raised by his uncle's family in Quezon City. His father, Engelbert Garcia Peralta, was a sous chef turned custom broker, and his mother, Jean Senen Magalona Peralta, is a crooner in Japan. Perlata's mother is the second cousin of Francis Magalona.[1] Peralta's elder brother, model Benjamin "Benjie" Peralta, was reportedly murdered[2] in 2009,[3][4][5] which was the reason behind her father's initial disapproval for him to enter the entertainment business; thus, his reason for using "Hiro Magalona" as his first screen name before his management changed it to "Hiro Peralta" in 2013.[6]
Peralta graduated at Esteban Abada Elementary School in 2006, his mother's alma mater. Peralta then spent his high school and graduated from St. Patrick School of Quezon City in 2010 where he and Liza Soberano were schoolmates. He was then admitted to St. John Technological College of The Philippines which is owned by his family, but deferred because he entered show business. He was also admitted to Trinity University of Asia, where he pursued his bachelor's degree in business administration majoring in financial management, but later deferred to pursue show business.[citation needed]
