Biography
According to a FAQ, Bernardo is Filipino, Italian, German, and Chamorro.[2] He is the first cousin of P.O.D. frontman Sonny Sandoval. His father, Noah Bernardo Sr., started Rescue Records, which was P.O.D.'s first label.
Wuv has been playing drums most of his life. During acoustic sets, he normally plays the rhythm guitar. He also has a side project called Southtown Generals, with Rasta Tim Pacheco. It was announced[when?] that Wuv would be handling drum duties for the band StillWell, a side project of Fieldy, the bassist of metal band Korn. In 2020, Bernardo formed a project called Belle and the Dragon, alongside members of Flyleaf.[3]
In multiple interviews with Sonny and Wuv, it was confirmed that Wuv is on hiatus but "not out of the band", citing burnout from endless years of touring and slight tension within the band as the main reasons.[4]
Bernardo was the co-owner of the Chula Vista skate shop "The Orphanage"; however, it is no longer in operation.
