Early life
editIngrid dela Paz was born and raised in a Catholic family. She is the second of four children and has three siblings. On her mother’s side, Ingrid is of Spanish descent of Malaga, Spain, from the line of Don Sixto dela Camara tracing back to 18th century Spanish colonist in the Philippines, and said to have an indigenous great grandfather, named Ricardo “Datu Mabalao” dela Camara, the “Overall Chieftain of Higaonon Tribe” in Mindanao.
Ingrid’s fortune wasn't handed to her on a silver platter as she was raised most of her life by a single mother. Ingrid didn’t have an easy time growing up, being fatherless brings its own set of difficulties and had a crucial developmental times during her younger years. She and her siblings were taught to be independent, tough and to take care of things on their own. However, her mother managed to send them in private school and provided them a spiritual loving household.
If ever there were proof that hard work and a good attitude can take you far, Ingrid would be it. Just after graduation from high school, she was fortunate to realize at an early age that no one is going to hand her dreams or what she need in life, and that she need to go out there and capture it herself. Ingrid had to struggle with two or three jobs to finance her studies and help her family. She modeled from promotional to fashions at local social events to support her studies in college at Far Eastern University Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication. Her family was her rock and her foundation.
It was the hardship and challenges of her humble beginnings that turned out to be the driving force behind the realization of her dreams.
