Ang Tatay Kong Nanay (My Father, My Mother) is a 1978 Filipino comedy-drama film that tackles parenting and homosexuality, and how it is not an issue in raising a child. The movie was directed by Lino Brocka and written by Orlando Nadres.[1]
The story revolves around Coring (Dolphy), a gay beautician who was in love with a younger man named Dennis (Phillip Salvador). Dennis had gotten his prostitute girlfriend Mariana (Marissa Delgado) pregnant, but the two couldn't handle the responsibility yet. Dennis then entrusts his child Nonoy (Niño Muhlach) to Coring, as he is set to leave the country, because he needs to work overseas to support the youngster. At first, Coring was hesitant but was easily convinced because he wants Dennis to have a better future. The child grew up with Coring and Nonoy believed that he is indeed his father. However, the story takes another turn as Mariana returns. The film tackles the hardships of being a single parent and at the same time, the judgment towards homosexuality and parenting.
