Hello. My name is Raven Monique Buentipo. I am eighteen years old. I am currently living in Caloocan
City.

My father’s name is Roby Buentipo. He is thirty-six years old and second to the youngest in his family.
He was born in Caloocan City but currently living in Valenzuela City since he is working and managing a
marketplace. My father is very protective, always teaching us the consequences of our actions, very
strict and respectful especially to our mother.

My mother’s name is Mybelle Buentipo. She is 39 years old, second to the eldest in their family. She
was born in Caloocan and currently living in Valenzuela. She’s an ofw before but a housewife now. She’s
very humble, very supportive and she has a long patience when it comes to us. She is a strong woman.

I have two siblings and they are both boys. I am the eldest. The second one’s name is Raiver Mikhail
Buentipo. He is seventeen years old and he is in his tenth grade. He’s very calm, quiet and also
protective especially to me since I am the only girl in our family. The youngest is 7 years old, he is Raiden
Meshal Buentipo. He is in his second grade. He is free-spirited, he gets what he wants but he is kind.

I’m not close with my extended families. I don’t know my grandma and grandpa in my father side. I only
know my grandma in my mother side. Her name is Victoria Jimenez. I have my favorite cousins their
name is Tierra and Mielle. I don’t have nephews and nieces since I am the eldest daughter and
granddaughter of the family.

We don’t have bonding moments or memorable events for me. People in our family is either not in good
terms or always busy. That’s all. Thank you.
