Biography
[edit]Based in Bristol, United Kingdom, Quigaman is the eldest of four children of Nelson Quigaman and Princesita San Agustin. She grew up in Biñan, Laguna, and eventually Bahrain, where her father worked. After five years, she returned to Biñan and completed high school at La Consolacion College. Before moving to Bahrain, she studied for a semester at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. In England, she attended South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, where she studied Media Production and Communication.[4] Quigaman married Marco Alcaraz in a civil ceremony on 1 January 2011 in Vancouver, Canada, and a Christian ceremony on July 8, 2012, at the Hacienda Isabela in Tagaytay City.[5] They have one child.[6]
Quigaman is a Born-again Christian and drew negative reactions after several of her Instagram posts were taken to oppose Pope Francis visiting the country.[7]
