ucio and Simplicio Godino were the first conjoined twins born in the Philippines but they were the most famous. Lucio and Simplicio Godino, aged about ten (ciica 1918-1920); Their first time in the US. Resident Commissioner Tedoro Yanko of Washington, DC took custody of the boys at this time. The boys are sporting new suits. Photo Lucio and Simplicio Godino, aged about ten (c1918-1920); Their first public appearance in the United States. First, Chang and Ng Bunker were perhaps the most famous "conjoined twins" from Siam. Thus, the term "Siamese twins" was coined. Born of Chinese extraction, Chang and Eng became the toast of the world's capitals in the 19th century. But they were also smart enough to hoard their earnings despite being used by their promoters. By 1839 the twins had become so successful that they bought a 110-acre farm in Trafle, North Carolina, with slaves to work the farm. Of course, this was the day before H-1, H-2, guest worker or refugee visas. Then everything was very simple. The original Siamese twins, Chang and Eng Bunker, 1811-1874. Born in the area known as Siam, they settled and spent their remaining days as citizens of Mount Erie, North Carolina, and are buried there.

Born in the area known as Siam, they settled and spent their remaining days as citizens of Mount Erie, North Carolina, and are buried there. As naturalized Americans, they became "bunkers," married a pair of local sisters, and fathered some 21 children between them. They lived through the US Civil War, and even saw some of their sons fight for the Confederacy. Of course, the political correctness of our day and age changed the "Siamese twins" to conjoined twins. Twins on the scene Then, in 1908, two more conjoined twins came into the world. Born February 1908 to Daisy and Violet Hilton in Brighton, England. (More on them later.) A month later, the Godino twins were born in Samar, Visayas, in the Philippine Islands. The Bunker twins were joined at the sternum by a small piece of cartilage and a fused liver. Lucio and Simplicio Godino were joined at their lower sacrum by a band of fibrous tissue about 18 inches in circumference. The Godins had an uneventful childhood in a small corner of Samar until an American promoter (or his agents) spotted them. There was an opportunity to earn a lot of money. So in the spring of 1918, when they turned ten, they signed with a show promoter who brought them to the United States. The Godinos were featured in Coney Island "freak shows" as the "Samar United Twins". The big tent "freak" shows didn't last very long. An eagle-eyed supervisor from the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse took the circus manager to court and obtained an injunction. The twins were taken out of the show and duly examined by qualified doctors. They claimed to be healthy and appeared to be mostly “normal”. The matter came to the attention of Teodoro Yanco, then Philippine Resident Commissioner in Washington DC. Yanko

intervened and took legal custody of the boys. Teodoro Yangco was a diplomat-entrepreneur-philanthropist. Born in San Antonio, Zambales, Yanco was the son of ship captain Luis R. Yanco and Ramona Arguelles Corpus. He attended Ateneo, then UST, and Ealing Commercial College of London in 1886, possibly one of the first Filipinos to graduate from an English college. Returning to Manila after studying in London, Teodoro followed in his father's footsteps and started a new inter-island shipping company and shipyard.
