Her father was the first Teduray municipal secretary while her mother is a school teacher. While Teduray girls are usually discouraged to pursue full formal education many of which remain illiterate,Mendoza was encouraged by her parents to study and was able to finish college. [5]

The first BTC under Aquino lasted from 2013 to 2014,when the body was able to come up with a draft.
