Sebastian Esai Eco Eviota, 25, is the first 'thoroughbred' Filipino in the smallest and oldest army in the world. He was born in 1998 in Davao City and moved to Switzerland at the age of 9 with his older sister Sophia, then 13/years old, on a visa for family reunification.
His mother died when he was two years old and his devoted maternal grandparents, Catholics, attended Mass almost every day in their parish church, a hundred yards from home.
