Rey's Childhood

Regulo Lanticse Rellon, later known as “Rey,” was born on March 30, 1949, in the municipality of Argao, Cebu. He is the firstborn child of Lorenzo “Loring” Rellon and Lourdes “Lording” Rellon. He was raised alongside his siblings—Leonardo “Leo,” Teresita "Tessie", and Victorio “Vic.”

During his early years, Rey’s family relocated to Zamboanga. After several years, they eventually settled in Padada, Davao del Sur, where his parents acquired a small parcel of land. It was in Padada that Rey completed both his primary and secondary education, shaping much of his formative years.
