He explained that honesty and open communication are essential in parenting, especially when it comes to sensitive matters.

“Just to believe in what they say and for them to believe you as a father na iga-guide mo sila maayos. O kaya magbigay ka ng advise na sensible and bagay sa takbo ng pag-iisip. Best thing you can do is be truthful to them,” he reasoned.

Adamos admitted that there were moments of confusion, particularly when he began noticing changes during his daughter’s college years.

“Daughter ko siya. As far as I am concerned she was a girl until she graduates high school. But right after HS, sa PUP, nagbago gender. Akala ko siyempre mga dinadala sa bahay friends na babae — only for me to realize 'yung iba pala nanliligaw sa kanya,” he recalled.

“After several years iba na naman 'yung dinala. So ano ka ba talaga? She mentioned a gender, I cannot remember. But sige kung ano gusto mo, doon ka. And you are happy,” he added.
