KIDS. Long before the coming of the so-called "same sex marriage" Tonying and Tirso (surnames withheld) were already living together as a couple. Both are gay, age 35 and 40 then. Not being able to produce their own children, Tonying and Tirso adopted many children, some of whom have acquired college education.
REAL PARENTS. Tonying and Tirso, now in their 60s, acted like real parents of their adopted children, according to an Ear informer who happens to be cousin of one of the two. They earned a living by working in a hotel (Tonying) and sugar mill (Tirso) in Negros Occidental. Three of their adopted children are now married and their children call them (Tonying and Tirso) Lolo.
