Biography[]

Born as Margaret Sunshine Cansancio Dizon in 1983 to Isagani Bengzon Dizon and Dorothy Cansancio Dizon, Dizon in Manila, is the youngest in their family. At a young age, her mother who was then a part of the Producers' Guild of the Philippines who used to produce films and TV shows noticed her interest in show business and would always tag her along on gatherings with other producers. Since she is shameless or "makapal and mukha" as she would say it, whenever she was asked to cry or sing, she always delivers in a snap of a finger. She was then given the chance to be a part of her very first movie "God's Little Children" at the age of three.
