Paz Marquez-Benitez was born on 3 March 1894 in Lucena, Tayabas (now Quezon), Philippines. Born into the prominent Marquez family of Quezon province her parents were well educated.

Aged six, Paz would begin her educational career and after three years at the age of nine would be enrolled into high school. Paz attended the Tayabas Highschool now, Quezon National High School where she would be praised by her principal for her academic achievements in English.

During Paz's time at the Normal School in Manila, she like many other Filipinos during the early 1900's, would be introduced to American culture.
