Biography

Jane Oineza was born in the town of Bani, Pangasinan. She lived with her parents along the Ilocos region until she was scouted to join the entertainment industry. The oldest among three siblings, she is bilingual, fluent in Tagalog, English, and with some proficiency in Ilokano. Her father, Erwin, was a businessman of Ilocandia ancestry situated in northern Luzon, and her mother, Jenn (née Urbano), held a succession of office jobs. They both resigned from their lines of work to assist their daughters’ career and moved from the provinces to reside in Pasig and later Quezon City. As a result of insufficient funds when she did not receive acting opportunities, her family lived off financially unstable. Due to career, she has also been homeschooled since age five, intermittently following a home-study program under Living Heritage Academy. Until now, Oineza is acknowledged as the breadwinner of her household, with her mother recognizing her daughter's efforts in an interview: “very dedicated in everything she does”.
