Early life
Minerva Castillo started singing at the age of nine. She endured a childhood of emotional and financial poverty.
In her teenage years, Castillo used to compete in various amateur singing contests with Regine Velasquez. Castillo won over 300 trophies in these amateur singing contests.
A singing contest in the 1980s known as Ang Bagong Kampeon stopped their competition.
Rediscovery
At the Regine: Roots to Riches, GMA-7's special offering for Velasquez's birthday, Castillo was rediscovered. She recorded the theme song of the show Sine Novela: Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin. Allan K. hired Eva to perform in his club, Klownz, on Quezon Avenue every Thursday night. Castillo's life story was featured in the show SRO Cinemaserye, titled SRO Cinemaserye: The Eva Castillo Story, where Glaiza de Castro and Manilyn Reynes portray the adolescent and adult Castillo respectively. She also appears on SOP Rules.
