Joshua Mendez

Joshua Mendez was born on 11 June 1992 in Jaro, Leyte, Philippines to Edwin Mendez and Elizabeth Mendez.
He grew up with his siblings: Mary Mendez, Aaron Paul Mendez, Pjay Mendez and Joyce Mendez. 
In 2005, his family was constantly harassed by Arnel Coldura of the Kananga Cartel. This was because his father was a former member of the Cartel but quit them. 
When Coldura, Roman Casugay, Jonie David and Ryan Dizon came to their house and assaulted them, the father lost his mind and attempted to kill the men in Carigara. This was a failure because only Coldura, Casugay and David died. Edwin and Aaron Paul Mendez passed away as well after being shot several times.
