Benigno Juan was born in Talipapa, Sta. Quiteria, Novaliches, Quezon City. As both his parents were farmers, he learned to till soil at an early age and became a farmer. He was a working student from high school until college, taking up odd jobs from farming to working in a paper mill, until he found his true calling as a journalist/writer. He received his AB Journalism degree from Manuel L. Quezon University.

Afterwards, he became the editor and columnist of People's Journal and People's Taliba newspaper of the Journal Group of Companies [1].
