    - Lee grew up with his relatives in Daet, Camarines Norte. His mother died when
    he was 5 years old and only saw his father on few occasions.

    politically turbulent times and was affiliated with Panulat para sa Kaunlaran ng
    Sambayanan (PAKSA, or Pen for People's Progress) along with Dr. Bienvenido

    Law years and was later incarcerated in 1974
