He studied High School at Rizal National Science High School, where he was awarded a scholarship grant. After his first year in high school, he joined the RNSHS Glee Club and eventually joined competitions of the like. Being the fourth of five children, he was never spoiled nor forgotten, he lies at the middle of the two.

Early Life
Panganiban was born as Ivan Hallig Panganiban on November 25, 1994, in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. He is the fourth child of Antonio V. Panganiban and Rosana C. Hallig. Panganiban had a stable early life, though suffering some financial issues, he and his family survived the trials regarding many aspects of life, Emotional, Spiritual, and Financial. He was born and baptized in the Catholic church, but was subsequently converted to Latter-Day Saints (most people call them Mormons) at the age of 3 and was baptized in the mormon church at the age of 8, December 4, 2002. He began playing the piano at the age of 10 and was the church organistat that location.

Panganiban attended three Elementary schools. First was Mherrynoll Montessori School where he was awarded as 1st honor. Philippine Best Teachers Society, wherein he was awarded the Achiever's Award. Angono Elementary School, wherein he graduated with no honorable mention. Obviously, his struggle for his grades was clearly seen and was caused by Teacher's Pets. Even if he graduated with no honors, he won several competitions in Math, Science and Journalism.

Teenage Life
Being graduated from Angono Elementary School, he then entered Rizal National Science High School, a science high school which was awarded to be the Third best High School in the Philippines [August 2010]. He flunked many subjects in result of stress because of his mother's departure to Doha, Qatar, working as an HR Head at Marubeni Corporation. Not much have been involved in his school activities none other than STEPS Skills competitions, concerning general knowledge on technology. He did many things his parents did not approve of like forging of signatures due to his irresponsibility on his requirements on school up until his second year.

When he reached his third year in high school, he studied hard and received higher grades compared to jis first two years. He did not mind all the Stress and Depression being undergone in his family, especially major parental fights due to long-distance relationship of his parents and also his sibling, Nikolai, being the stowaway of the five. He finished his fourth year achieving no honors and full of terrors regarding his family. He once struggled on his religion because of his family's problems which wavered his faith on God, but overcame it.

He then entered college at University of Santo Tomas, but before that, major things have happened within his family. Nikolai. his eldest brother, had done many bad things into Ivan's family,including robbery. By this time, after 7 years of bad influence, his eldest brother had a change of heart and took the field of teaching iliterate street children. His parents, on the other side, had a major fight [not to be specified], and his mother decided to let Antonio, Ivan's father, go and be on their seperate ways. Panganiban's siblings, Andrei and Boris, turned their backs on their father and did stay with their mother. Ivan, on the other side, chose to be with his father, for he knows what is best for him and what is right. He did not choose between his parents but did not want to be in the supervision of his brother, Andrei. Ivan, and his father, moved to Marilao, Bulacan and stayed there up until now, trying their best to overcome the trial and make themselves strong in the midst of depression.

Influences
Panganiban was raised on a very homy community and was very stable and did not receive any shortcomings. However, reaching his teenage life, he did have some bad influences around him especially at school, wherein he was being forced by his friends to do things which are not applicable to his standards, but he refused.

Influences in his passion, Music, did come in many ways. He started pllaying the piano at 10, the guitar at 16, and thoroughly nurturing his vocal ability throughout the years. In fact, Music was his third choice if he was not in the BS Microbiology Program at UST. He did love and had passionfor the Arts and Drama wherein he was handed roles in such plays as Noli Me Tangere, Moises, El Filibusterismo, Ang Paghuhukom and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Future Goals
Panganiban continues to pursue his stuf=dies at the University of Santo Tomas but would not finish the program at his Third year in some reasons. First, he plans to serve a mission at his religion, preaching the gospel for two years. Away from home, and away from his School life. Second, He will stop at his Third year for the reason of entering Brigham Young University at Salt Lake City, Utah, United States and will continue to pursue Microbiology in a deeper and wider perspective, BS Molecular Biology and Microbiology, tackling not only microorganisms, but also the human powerhouse and it's genetics. After pursuing his goal at BYU,, he will then go back to the Philippines and finish his program at UST. By that plan, he will easily continue to Proper Medicine with ease and of a shorter span. After finishing his pre-med course, he will then proceed to Medicine, again at BYU, specializing in Neuroscience and will receive a PhD after that. After receiveing his PhD, he will the continue studying by taking his master's at MIT [Massachussets Institute of Technology].

Long term goals of Panganiban include having a stable life and work, and having a wonderful family, free from troubles and sealed at the temple.
