Puyat-Reyes is the daughter of Deogracias Puyat, a lawyer, and Patria Gil. She is the granddaughter of Pedro Gil, a diplomat and legislator from Manila. She attended St. Paul's College where she earned her bachelor's degree in education. She also has a master's degree in business economics from the Center for Research and Communication.[1] She was married to Gregorio Reyes.
Throughout the 1980s, Puyat-Reyes headed the annual anti-tuberculosis fund campaign organized by the Philippine Tuberculosis Society.[4] In January 2000, the Makati Regional Trial Court ordered Puyat-Reyes to be arrested for failing to testify regarding the estate of her late husband. The case is about her and her stepdaughters, Christina and Rina.[5]
