Voltaire Tupaz was born in Tacloban, Leyte, and graduated with a degree in social sciences from UP-Baguio where he served as student council chairperson. He headed the Baguio and Benguet chapter of the National Union of Students of the Philippines and served as the youngest secretary general of Tongtongan Ti Umili (People's Forum), a multi-sectoral network in Metro Baguio.

Before joining Rappler, Voltz was the executive director of a consortium of non-government organizations that promotes sustainable development and food security. He also served as a policy advocacy specialist for various non-profit organizations and an international environmental network, raising awareness about a range of issues that included indigenous knowledge systems, appropriate technology, climate change and other development issues.

In Rappler, Voltz creates and manages platforms for public discussion, opening avenues for citizen involvement online and on the ground.

One of the pioneers of Move.PH, Rappler's citizen journalism arm, Voltz moves around the country organizing the 'Social Media for Social Change' chat series. He often covers green causes and, sometimes, red carpets. In between, he retreats to white sand and blue seas.
