The(ir) Blurb...

Manay Po tells the story of Luz, a small time jeweler who dreams of making it big so as to provide a better life for her family. Her life revolves around her brood of three, namely, Oscar, Orson and Orwell and her live-in boyfriend Gerry. With the help of her good friend and maid Maritess, Luz was able to raise her children normally despite the absence of a husband. Or so she thought.. Oscar is a rising architect from a major firm and is betrothed to be married to his girlfriend of five years Pauleen. Unknown to Luz and everyone else, Oscar is a closet homosexual and is keeping his relationship with engineer best friend Adrian Pengson a secret. Orson, on the other hand, is openly gay, much to Oscar's discomfort. He is fun-loving, sweet and engaged in numerous extracurricular activities in school. His one true love is his best friend Marky, whom he always tries to impress by lavishing him with affection.
