Better half

There is a saying that love is more meaningful if it looks beyond ones physical appearance. For the month of February, Kara presents three heartwarming stories of people who found love despite their disabilities.

Kara flies to the countrys northernmost tip to follow the story of Lolo Anselmo, a polio victim, and his blind wife Lola Anastacia. When their partners died, the two decided to marry and settle in Batanes. According to Anastacia, she has been Anselmos feet" for 10 years, pushing around the cart that carries her husband. In turn, Anselmo has become Anastacias eyes to the world, guiding her as they explore their newfound life together.

Marites, on the other hand, is physically normal, yet she has fallen in love with Jojo, who has been inflicted with neurofibromatosis. This disease causes nerve tissues to grow tumors beneath the skin. Despite her familys disapproval, Marites married Jojo, and their love has produced them a 2-year old baby girl.

Before falling in love with each other, Joseph and Angel were physically healthy. But within just one year of being together, Angel was inflicted with multiple sclerosis, a condition in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, causing movement leading to paralysis. Despite her condition, Joseph continued loving Angel, and the two has been married for ten years now. Josephs unrequited love pushed Angel to conquer her condition. She now works as a PRO for Tahanang Walang Hagdan.
