NEW YORK (AP) – Twin Filipino boys, born joined at the top of their heads, celebrated their improbable fifth birthdays Saturday, three and a half years after doctors separated them in a series of difficult surgeries.


Until 2004, Carl and Clarence Aguirre could not sit up, stand straight or look each other in the eye because of their unusual link.

But at a party at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx on Friday, they romped like healthy kids. Carl stuck his hand in the birthday cake. Clarence hung on to his mother, Arlene Aguirre, and ran about with a toy.

Carl is expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps soon.

Montefiore spokesman Steve Osborne confirmed Sunday that Clarence had begun walking on his own after "Dateline NBC" showed images of the three-year-old, wearing a helmet, taking steps at Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla.
