They might have come from different walks of life – Nora from a simple in Iriga City, Camarines Sur, while Tirso from a famous family of singers and musicians – but fate had its way of intertwining their paths by bringing them together in the 1969 films “9 Teeners and Yeye Generation!” However, it was in “Young Girl” when they were first paired with each other, which brought them innumerable teleseryes and films, with the 1971 Manila Film Festival entry “Guy And Pip” being the highest grossing of all their works together.
