Early life[edit]
Licaros was raised in Cainta, Rizal but traces her roots to Cuenca, Batangas. She is the eldest in a brood that includes three brothers.
A consistent honor student, Licaros graduated with honors from elementary school in Assumption Antipolo, and as high school valedictorian at the same school. In 2005, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Communication at the University of the Philippines Diliman, garnering a General Weighted Average (GWA) of 1.161.
In 2009, she graduated salutatorian from the University of the Philippines College of Law. She took the 2009 Philippine Bar Examinations in September and was one of 1451 examinees who passed out of 5,903 examinees when the results were released on March 26, 2010.
The national passing rate for that year's Bar Exams was 25%.

During the VTR, the agent broached the idea of her joining the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant.

She was the official representative of the Philippines to the Miss Universe 2007 pageant held in Mexico City, Mexico.[2]
Standing at 5 feet 9 inches, Licaros won a number of special awards during pageant night and her impressive answer to the final question (where she was asked to choose between lovelife or the crown, and she chose the crown), enabled her to win one of the pageant's three titles.[2]
In the Miss Universe 2007 pageant, she won the Miss Photogenic special award via a worldwide internet voting poll. She is the seventh delegate from the Philippines to have won the special award. However, she did not place in the top fifteen semi-finalists.
