==Early Life==
After her parents separated during her early childhood, Siy and her sisters became the subject of a custody battle between them. In her book, Siy recounts how her father essentially “kidnapped” her and her siblings, leading them to live with him in Ermita until his death. Afterward, she moved in with her mother, which explains why she attended three different elementary schools: in Ermita, Parañaque, and Malate, before enrolling at the Philippine Christian University Union High School (Inquirer.net, 2011).
The challenges of her tumultuous upbringing left an imprint on her personality. Siy described herself as a very quiet child, but she later grew into the role of the class clown (Inquirer.net, 2011)<ref>{{cite web |title=Funny Girl |url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/30079/funny-girl/ |website=inquirer.net |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |access-date=16 December 2024}}</ref>
