Samuel Verzosa Jr. was born in September 1987.[2][3] He is the eldest son of five siblings and spent his childhood growing up in Sampaloc, Manila. He attended Angelicum College for his elementary and high school studies, and he took up bachelor's degree in civil engineering when he entered the University of the Philippines Diliman.[4]
Verzosa learned about the direct selling and multi-level marketing (MLM) industries while he was preparing for his engineering board examinations. He joined a direct-selling company, where he met RS Francisco. When the company closed, the two decided to establish Frontrow International in 2009.[4][5] Frontrow also maintains the E-Skwela program, where the MLM provides Internet and printing hubs for school use in far-flung areas as part of its corporate social responsibility. Frontrow has partnered with the Ang Probinsyano Partylist for this program's implementation.[6][7][8]
Frontrow also sponsored Willie Revillame's Tutok to Win program. Revillame is a close friend of Verzosa.[9][10] Frontrow is also a partner of the Miss Universe Organization.[11]
Verzosa also manages the Modena Motorsports company, which distributes Maserati cars in the Philippines.[12][13][14]
Verzosa was named as the first nominee of the Tutok To Win Party-List for the 2022 elections.[15][16] The organization managed to win a seat.
As a House representative for the 19th Congress, Verzosa became vice chairman of the Poverty Alleviation, Socual Services, Welfare of Children, and Disaster Resilience committees.[17] Among his bills filed are the Poor Job Applicants Discount Act, which seeks to provide a 20 percent discount to government-issued pre-employment documents for indigent jobseekers,[18] and the E-Skwela Act which aims to institutionalize Frontrow's E-Skwela program under the government.[19]
In October 2024, Verzosa filed his candidacy to run for Mayor of Manila in 2025 as an independent candidate.[20]
Verzosa is the presenter of the public service series Dear SV which features stories from various Filipino individuals. Its pilot episode aired in February 2023 in CNN Philippines.[21] The series returned in GMA Network premiering on November 18, 2023.[22]
Following Revillame's return to television via TV5, he became a co-host of Wil To Win.
Verzosa has actress Rhian Ramos as his girlfriend. He first publicized his relationship with Ramos in August 2022.[23][24]
