Early life

Her Spanish-Filipino father was a ship captain, while she never met her Chinese-Filipino biological mother due to family complications.

She is a granddaughter of former Senator Vicente Rama, who was recognized as the Father of Cebu City.

Personal life

She is also a stepmother to Tonton Gutierrez and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, her husband's two sons from previous relationships.

Due to her birthday falling a day before All Saints Day, Rama customarily celebrates her birthday in advance.
