Unique Tattoo He has a tattoo on his back inked on the ancient Filipino writing called Alibata/Baybayin. Clockwise, it reads MUNDO (earth), HANGIN (wind), APOY (fire), TUBIG (water). Those four are the elements of mother nature.
Brandon claimed in the interview that he went surfing one day and sought to conquer the waves. The waves brought him down and gave Brandon a profound respect for mother nature.
Influences
He states international boxing star Manny Pacquiao as an inspiration for him to become great in his sport.
