Mike and Barbara Barredo
Watching movies and television, basketball and football games are what keep the Barredo couple together.
Barbara, 52, sits beside husband Michael, 54, and describes the scenes playing out on the screen as he listens to the audio feed. Or she dishes out a running account of whats going on in the basketball court of the football field.
Mike has been blind for the past 30 years. He lost his sight in a car accident in 1979, just a year after they were married. Since then, Barbara has provided him with a vision, literally and otherwise. She has always been supportive, says this world president of the International Blind Sports Federation and president of the Phil. Sports Association for the Differently Abled.
For this couple, love may be blind but that hasnt stopped them from seeing only the best in each other.
Ging and Rose For Ging and Rose, love isnt about gender. It is as the Biblical passage says: love is kind, love is patient.
Melyn and Jerson
Melyn Acosta and Jerson Santacera are taking their time shopping for a wedding gown at the Tutuban Mall in Divisoria. After all, theyve waited eight years before finally deciding to tie the knot.
The two met during a basketball tournament in 2001 and started texting each other, until Jerson decided to bring her home to meet his parents. Still, they kept their relationship secret for some time because Melyns father has always been overprotective of his only daughter.
