Before There Was Us

Before There Was Us is the story of who Charlotte Tiu and Francis Tolentino were before they became the Cha and Kiko we know now on Until We Became Five

Before marriage.

Before careers.

Before a home filled with children calling them Mommy and Daddy.

Before their lives became something shared.

This story goes back to the time when they were still simply Charlotte and Francis-two young people living their own lives, carrying their own dreams, struggles, ambitions, friendships, and plans for the future.

A time when everything was still unwritten.

When ordinary days were just ordinary days.

When the people around them were still becoming important.

When neither of them knew yet which moments they would someday look back on and realize had changed everything.

This is not yet the story of the family they would build.

This is the story of the people they were first.

Of growing up.

Of friendships.

Of dreams.

Of choices.

Of discovering themselves before life slowly began connecting their paths.

Because long before there was Mommy and Daddy-

long before there was Cha and Kiko as one-

there was Charlotte.

There was Francis.

And this is their story-

before there was us.
