In the busy streets of Barangay Suizo Bliss, a father’s love echo stronger than the rumbles of passing vehicles. Mr. Isidro Flores Fagtanan, a 59-year-old family man, stands as a living proof of unconditional acceptance. From the moment Navi, his child, developed a liking toward blossom-cheeked dolls and ruffles in dresses, Tatay Isidro and his wife Regina decided: love would always eclipse fear. 

The journey wasn’t without its stumbling blocks. Tatay Isidro admits his initial worries are about the ridicules, the societal stigma that often breaks the hearts of LGBTQIA+ members. But his spirit would not buckle. “Alam namin ang hirap,” he shares, “pero anak pa rin namin siya.” His resolve melted into a fatherly shield, a protection rooted in respect and love.
