Monica Bauer and Yolly Montoya Story (July 29, 2006)
Monica and Yolly have been friends for more than a decade. A friendship that goes beyond the color of skin, culture, language, and location. Monica is a big, blond, transsexual nurse who works at Mt Sinai Hospital in New York, and Yolly is a typical promdi from Calasiao Pangasinan.
Monica visited the Philippines years ago and met Yolly who was then pregnant. Yolly would name the baby after Monica and assigned her to be the Ninang. This would integrate Monica to Yolly's family in Calasiao and, save for documents and legalities, the baby becomes Monica's adopted daughter. Shuttling back and forth from New York to Calasiao, Monica visits baby Nikka every six months for the last ten years, sends her money for schooling, and thereby becomes a part of Yolly's big family. Monica, who was adopted as a child and lived with several foster families, has found herself a family to love, to care, and to share her dreams with -- halfway across the globe. "It is a family built not by blood, but by relationships," she said.
