Biography
Pol Medina graduated from the
University of Santo Tomas in 1983 with a
degree in architecture. In 1985, a year after
securing his professional license, he went to
Iraq at the height of the IranIraq War to
work for an Italian construction company

It was at this juncture that he experienced


"the most maddening"[1] two years of his life[
why?]
.
In 1986, he started scripting and drawing
characters for a new cartoon about a
community of fatsos and a dog named Polgas
. In 1987, he worked as an architect for a firm
in San Juan, Metro Manila.

In September 1992, he co-founded


Pugad Baboy, Inc. with seven other people.
The company adopted Ad Astra Per Aspera
for its motto, inspired byHarper Lee's
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel,
To Kill a Mockingbird.
Three years later, the company folded
when Pol Medina left in order pursue a
career in the advertising industry. Currently
he has another company, Pol Medina Jr.
Novelties, dedicated to merchandise based
on the strip, including compilations.

Pol Medina has three children with his


wife Susan: Maia Cecilia, Eladio Jose
and Pablo Jose.
