Navi’s recent graduation in college wasn’t just an ordinary achievement; it was a victory for her family’s courage. Tatay Isidro’s voice trembles with jubilation as he recalls the struggles Navi overcame: “Kahit ganito at mahirap ang buhay, nagawa mo kaming proud.” His words are a balm, a reminder that happiness overflows where support is unyielding. 

To parents facing similar challenges, Tatay Isidro’s advice is simple yet deep: “Tanggapin sila ng taos puso.” His story disproves the myth that faith and acceptance can’t harmonize as in their home, compassion is the truest doctrine.

Navi’s identity was never a choice; it was a truth to be celebrated. She’s born that way.  Tatay Isidro’s journey mirrors countless silent battles fought by dads like him, moments when parents learn that love isn’t about molding children in their image or preference but witnessing their own metamorphosis.

As the sun sets over Suizo Bliss, Tatay Isidro’s message to Navi reverberates: “Love ka namin ni Mommy.” No conditions, no excuses. Just poetic love, sincere and unmistakably profound. For in harrowing darkness, Navi’s radiance is the torch that spreads light.

This Pride Month, Isidro’s story isn’t just his own; it’s a roaring reminder that the fiercest allies often wear the quietest smiles, and the loudest love speaks in whispers of: anak,  “nandito lang ako.”

To all Navis: may you find your own Tatay Isidro, a supportive father and a kindred ally. And to every parent: may you be one.
