Nanay and Tatay were poor and did not have much. But it was enough to change one child's life. The couple from the Philippines adopted a little boy and gave him everything they could. And even though their life wasn't easy as he was growing up, Jayvee Lazaro Badile II became a successful man. As he was climbing up the social ladder, Jayvee vowed he would provide a much better life to the two people who loved him more than themselves. So he did.

"I was 3 months old when Nanay and Tatay adopted me," Jayvee told Bored Panda. "Life was very difficult. I had to be working as a student, and we were happy if Na got to make 2 meals a day. On top of that, we lived in a 20-square-meters (215 square foot) apartment."

"I paid for the house in cash and it was built in a year. It has 7 bedrooms, and we didn't bring anything from the old place except the TV I bought for my family as a Christmas gift earlier."
And it's perfect for the happy family
