A Filipino family with unique names live in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Father Sesinando (upper left), Macaroni '85 (middle), mother Flordeliza (upper right), Spaghetti '85 (lower left), and Sincerely Yours '98.
The siblings came to find themselves talked about in the social media community after the University of the Philippines released the results of its annual college admission test.
Sincerely Yours – also known by her nickname, Truly— caught the attention of netizens after she was included in the list of around 12,000 that passed the university admission examination.
When they were little, they were bullied because of their unique names. But as they grow older, they were able to use their catchy names to their advantage. Twenty five-year-old Spaghetti 88, for instance, was able to more easily connect with her sales clients.
Spaghetti married in 2011 and gave birth to a baby boy named Cheese Pimiento, the trademark for a local snack food.
She told her brother Macaroni, a bachelor of science degree in information technology, plans to name his first born “Windows XP.” And Truly like to name her kid - in the future - "Signature," referring to the line added to letters after "Sincerely Yours."
