Manuel (Alvin) was born on September 18, 1961 in Poblacion, San Remigio, Antique, Philippines to his father, Abner Ramirez Roxas and his mother, Nilda Omallao Roxas. He was the second child among four siblings. He finished his elementary education at Calag-itan Central School and studied his secondary level at Barangbang National High School, San Remigio, Antique, Philippines. In 1977, he went to Manila and looked for a job and worked as a driver, baker, and as a factory worker. In 1984, he went home in Antique and stayed with his grandmother whom they called Naling (Nanay Saling) together with his youngest sister, Elizabeth (Beth). Manuel married to Ernie Baleña on 1986.
