She also has a brother named Juan, who changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín. As her father was a rich man owning billions, she and her brother’s childhood was never difficult. Her father made sure that two of children get what they wanted as long as it could be bought with money.

No matter how much ridiculous it may sound, Pablo was that much devoted towards fulfilling his children’s wishes.

But things did not stay the same for the family as the law and order found Manuela’s father guilty and he soon became one of the most wanted criminals in the history. Pablo’s illegal business affected his family’s peace and life with constant threats. Manuela, unlike other children, could not even attend school because of the family’s safety reasons. There was even a life-threatening experience when a bomb exploded in Manuela’s father’s apartment while she was only 3 years old. Luckily nobody was hurt and Pablo escaped once again. Until finally in the year 1993, when Pablo was finally killed in a shootout with security forces.
