Basti – That’s ME! I’ve already Introduced the rest of my siblings, now let me give you a little background about myself. I am 21 years old, and about to graduate in college. I am taking up Architecture in one of the schools here in the Philippines. Everyone got used to calling me Basti but my Lolo Tacio called me Sebastian. But, Basti is perfectly fine with me. 
I am happily married to Dee(Andrea), with one son Carlos Iñigo. I became a father at a very young age when I got my girl pregnant at the age of 17. Dee and I got married when we reached the legal age. I am working part-time while studying so I won’t be totally dependent on my parents in raising my family. I am not capable of moving out yet or starting on my own.
I know most of you might say that I should try to stand on my own now that I have my own family. That will come… But now, I really can’t. I don’t wanna be a hypocrite and say I can and then see my wife and son suffer the consequences. The happiest day of my life was when Iñigo was born. I told myself that I will study hard and continue to strive towards reaching my goals to be able to give both of my families a better future, and to help my parents in sending my siblings to school.
For me Dee and Iñigo was never a mistake, things just happened earlier than planned, and my son is a blessing. I never had a single regret, and until now Andrea and I are happy loving each other. I am with the woman I love the most, and our son made our relationship even stronger. My whole family were happy too and they welcomed Andrea as a part of the family with open arms. When Iñigo came, my dad wanted him to bear not only his last name, but also his name, that’s why my son was named after him.
I’ve grown up in a different set-up as what we have now, a major incident changed all our lives and now we are struggling financially. But my parents are doing their best to provide for us, and I am also doing my best to help alleviate the situation and to provide for both my son and wife. I guess if there’s one thing that my keeps my faith strong is the truth that can never be changed, my family remained happy and intact through all the hardships. W are taking everyday as a challenge and a step towards a better and happier life. And we are facing it as a strong bonded family.
With Mom, Dad, Lola Anna, Jr, Miko, Paolo, Amari, Andrea and Iñigo — I am a complete and happy man.
