Although she's not proud of her grades back then, she did say that she was involved in a lot of organizations.
Joyce said, "As in trip ko noon ay banda, part ako ng Himig, ng choral group, part ako ng Indak na dance troupe and nag-Journ din ako. I was one of the writers of the Journ team."
"I liked doing other stuff in high school. Aside from studying, I felt like I could grow so much in other areas of my life in high school and I did," she added.
4. She loves race car driving
Joyce doesn't just sing, dance, and host. She apparently also loves to be on the tracks, racing cars.
However, because of her schedule, she hasn't been able to join races like in the past.
"I used to race cars," she said. "Hindi na ako nakapag-race dahil sa schedule ko."
The last time she raced, she admitted, was two years ago already.
5. She's a dog lover
Joyce admitted that she loved dogs, most especially her dog Bowie.
How much? Well, just a month ago, she threw Bowie a birthday party and invited Bowie's furry friends! On top of that, she even had a cake made with Bowie's face on it.
In an Instagram post, Joyce admitted that she was going through anxiety and depression when Bowie came into her life and she'll forever be grateful for his love and company.
6. She wanted to have five children
Joyce admitted that she really loved kids.
She said, "I loved teaching them. I loved taking care of them and my mommy senses are a bit more extreme than others because bata palang ako lagi nang iniiwan sakin mga pinsan ko."
That's why at an early age, she really dreamed of having five children. But everything changed when she saw her cousin give birth.
"Pero noong nakita kong pinanganak 'yung pamangkin kong si Yuna and I saw my cousin's C section stitched, I rethought and sabi ko pwede nang mga dalawa Lord," she joked.
7. She dreams of marrying Juancho
Asked when she plans on getting married, Joyce answered, "You'd have to ask Juancho for that question. I don't know when he's going to ask me."
She explained that since both of them are Christians and have the same perspective about relationships, it wasn't out of the question that she'd marry her boyfriend Juancho Triviño.
She said, "You shouldn't be shy to talk about marriage especially with your partner, because Juancho and I are both Christians, because the only reason why we're in a relationship is because we can see each other as someone we'd be able to marry someday, someone who will bring us closer to God and someone who will help us as we move forward in letting Christ be known."
8. She loves jazz

9. She's been helping World Vision since she was 18
As a World Vision ambassador, Joyce isn't a stranger to the development sector.
She said in her vlog, "I started sponsoring when I was 18. With my first ever job, I started sponsoring kids for World Vision Philippines and I kept doing that and doing that."
10. She's literally a princess
Joyce's real name, she was embarrassed to reveal, was Princess Joyce Enaje Pring.
"Bago ka tumawa tandaan mo na maraming born in the 90's na may Princess ang pangalan," she joked.
She hasn't been quite proud of it because she isn't really princess-like, she said.
"I felt more like a Charlie or basta mas boyish," she said.
However, she added, "The only time I really started to feel I was a princess was when Juancho and I got together."
According to Joyce, Juancho really treats her like a princess and even says she is one.
