Farrales was born on July 1, 1932, in Cotabato City to Salvador Farrales and Paulina Samio. He attended San Beda College for his early education.[1] Flunking math, Farrales also had to repeat the subject in Cotabato, where he took note of the attires worn by Muslim women in the area.[2]
Faralles attended the University of Santo Tomas (UST) for his collegiate studies where he pursued a degree on fine arts.[1] By the time he was a freshman college student, he was working part-time in a department store in Manila which is often patronized by wealthy women.[2]
