    She is married actor Mikael Banzon Daez today. She is now going to use Megan Young-Daez as her new official name. But, I’ll look through her Facebook page and Instagram account whether her name was updated, which will be the basis for title change. Congratulations!

    Monico’s middle name is Candari, and was the son of Andrés Talde and Juana Candari y Tunguia, or Juana Tunguia Candari in Filipino. Juana was the daughter of Marcelo Candari y Dioso, or Marcelo Dioso Candari in Filipino, and of Laurencia Tunguia.

    Same applies to Lauren Young.
