    Hehe ****ers. Born in Mexico raised in the U.S. Just like Nonito a Filipino American Abner a Mexican American. Both probably can relate to America more than their native countries. Alot of friends I know born in the Philipines and Mexico and some know very little spanish or tagalog.

    Born in MEX raised in California. Got into gangs and trouble as a teen, so mom sent him back to MEX to get away from all that a bit. Came back more disciplined and a more focused fighter.
