Jihad and Tintin’s story began at Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, where they both pursued a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and shared the same batch under the guidance of Professor Mostrales.

Though they came from different places, their paths crossed in college. Tintin is from Lugait, Misamis Oriental, and spent much of her childhood between Naawan and Lugait. Jihad is from Ramain, Lanao del Sur, but spent most of his childhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

From classmates and fellow engineering students to building their own careers abroad as OFWs, the years have taken them far from where their story first began. Now, after growing together through different seasons of life and finding success in their respective careers, Jihad and Tintin have chosen to begin their next chapter together as husband and wife.
