Love is almost always associated with a positive, joyous, and inspiring feeling. But with love, we also hear stories of pain, of sadness, and of struggle. That's why in this video, we asked Filipinos about their thoughts on love and relationships, and the happiness associated with both.

Getting ahead.

Yun o!

Nagkaroon na ako na River, naging Radiant na ako!

Iba talaga!

Uy, Rod! Ano yan? Roblox?

Pangbata yun! This is Valorant, man!

Ay, ganun ba? Sorry naman!

Medyo naguguluhan kasi ako, yung daughter ko kasi.

Na-overhear ko siya na talking about yung mga ganyang-ganyang games.

Ano yung skins ba?

So yung skins, pampaganda lang yun ng itsura mo para mas swabby yung experience mo.

For example, ito sa Valorant, ito RGX.

O, RGX.

Ito yung River Phase 1.

Uy, alam mo, Rod, okay ito ha.

Kasi yung anak ko, parang nahihiya siya sakin sometimes to show me yung mga ginagawa niya sa games.

Parang ngayon, mas nag-gets ko na ito yung through games,

yun pala yung parang it helps her express yung personality niya and yung style niya.

Saktong-saktong! Kasi nalaman ko lang din na pwede na gamitin ng anak mo ang Gcash Junior!

Gcash Junior?

Gcash Junior!

Gcash pang bata!

Gcash na tinagdagan ng Junior!

So, please enlighten me. I wanna know.

So, ang Gcash Junior, sa isang simpleng pag-download na ang pwede na gamitin ng teens

ang almighty Gcash for their purchasing and saving purposes.

Sobrang lawak na kasi ng interest ng teens ngayon, ma, paano pa yan?

School, or Fresh Fits, or merch, or games, o kahit talaga!

And here's the beautiful thing, diba?

Ngayong may access na sila sa Gcash, they could attain, gusto mo hulaan?

Financial responsibility!

Even at the young age of 13 years old!

Ano nang gusto natin?

And here's the best part pa, ang pinakamalupit na thing about Gcash Junior ay

magpapakita lang sila ng school ID.

School ID lang! Pwede na sila, kaya kung nariyan, bibili sila ng skin,

pwede na nilang ma-set up yung Gcash.

Ready, set, see! I'll teach you how to play Valorant 8! Let's go!

Ako naman, patry ako! Ang galing!

Uy, Rod, binaberel nila ako!

Wait lang! Paano to'ng pagalawin? Hindi to'ng gumagalaw!

Before I was in that situation, I gave up my work in Singapore.

Mahal ako parang dating lang. Wala eh, bobo.

Eh di, sige, Singapore lang eh, to the time.

Wala rin. After two months, wala.

Do you think love is enough in a relationship?

No.

No.

No.

Love is not enough in a relationship.

Siguro yung panahon ng dati.

Like, nasa telenovela times, kung paano nariyong pangako sa'yo.

Sa panahon kasi ngayon, hindi niya eh. Kasi kailangan mo rin magiging practical at the same time.

Yung love kasi feeling lang yun eh. Diba? Ang feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung feeling lang yun.

Yung love kasi feeling lang yun eh. Diba? Ang feelings, nawawala.

Yung love kasi feeling lang yun eh. Diba? Ang feelings, nawawala.

So parang ngayon, it's more on rationality than just love. So you have to be looking out for yourself as well.

Na kailangan buo yung loob mo, buo yung utak mo before you say this is love already.

Kasi if you go into think, yung mga mistakes sa ibang tao, puro puso lang lagi.

Someone could tell you that they love you and that doesn't automatically mean that they're willing to adjust for you.

That doesn't automatically mean that they're willing to compromise for you.

Pero hindi lang naman siya about feelings. Kasi parang dapat you know how to make sacrifices din.

There are times na nagkakamali siya and sobrang done ka na sa kanya.

Pero kasi iisipin mo pa din yung lalim ng pinagsamahan niyo.

You can actually grow together kahit dumaan kayo sa toxic phase.

Yes.

For me kasi love is the greatest thing that you can offer, you can give to someone.

You cannot be faithful without love. You cannot be giving without love.

You cannot be loyal without love. So love is enough. Kasi general na lang dyan siya sa lahat ng bagay.

But I think love should be a choice.

The best example is our parents. Kasi nawawala kasi yung love sa parents sometimes.

Before, kringi sila. Before dating, may sex na part, nahuli ko na kay parents ko eh.

Pero pag tumatanda, nawawala eh. Choice na lang nila to stay for the sake of them.

Some of them children and then some of them para friendship na lang eh, companionship.

Real love is something that doesn't feel like a chore.

When a person that you love feels like they're sad or is going through something,

it doesn't feel like it's trouble for you to help them.

And kaya mong ipakita lahat, triggers or your traumas and everything.

And kapag may problem siya, it's not a his or her situation. It's a we situation.

Like, it's our problem now.

You don't feel na parang you're walking on eggshells every time you're with that person.

Then I guess that's love.

I am willing to compromise in a relationship for the sake of love.

Um, who? That's very hard to answer. Kasi marupok din ako. I don't know.

Yes, I am. I'm willing.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, I can do.

Yes!

Wala naman two people na same na same, diba?

So talagang may difference yan.

And may times na need mo talaga mag-compromise.

And kailangan nyo mag-meet halfway.

Maybe, um, with boundaries.

I am willing to compromise for love, of course.

As long as it's reasonable and as long as it's in my control.

And as long as it will make my partner happy.

Ganun naman talaga, I think.

Parang if your partner finds it uncomfortable for you to do this, then okay.

Parang hindi natin gagawin yan since you're not comfortable with it.

So you have to compromise if you want your partner to feel safe, to feel secured.

You have to think na, pag ginawa ko ba to, makakabuti ba to sa akin?

O makakabuti lang sa kanya? O makakabuti sa aming pareha?

Ako naman as a partner, I'd also want someone to compromise for me.

So I think it's a give and take situation.

So, yun. I think yes, with boundaries.

Ano yung, ano mo? Ano yung line mo? Where do you come from?

And it's like jeopardizing your dreams and your personal goals na you lose yourself.

Before I was in that situation, I gave up my work in Singapore.

Nag-apply ako ng teacher doon. Tanggap ako.

Pero yung natanggap ako, parang ito yung pala yung term nakapalit na,

ay, yung okay pala kami.

Nakala ko parang dating lang.

Tapos, parang lumalalim na.

Eh syempre, may trabaho ko sa Singapore.

Tapos, meron ka na dito.

Hindi ko mo pwedeng kukunin ko ito, iiwang ko ito.

Wala eh. Bobo.

Eh di, sige. Singapore lang eh. To the time.

Wala rin. After two months, wala.

Siguro, I can compromise as long as hindi ko na binago yung buong pagkatao ko.

Kahit alam kong hindi naman ako gumagawa na anything wrong.

Kasi parang, ibig sabihin, you're not in love with me.

You're in love with the ideal version of me.

Hindi kita kayang lokohin na ito ako.

Kasi ito naman ako talaga noong nakilala mo ko.

So, siguro doon ako mag-stop.

Pero, kapag kasi gusto mo yung tao,

tapos tingin mo mabuti naman yung kahihinat ng sitwasyon,

hindi mo na mamalayo sa sarili mo na nakakapag-compromise ka.

Yes or no, can you be in love but not be happy?

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes, it's possible.

Yes.

I think yes.

In love but not be happy.

I think magkakambal yun eh.

Hindi pwedeng in love ka, tapos malungkot ka.

Wala pa akong nai-encounter.

Kapag in love ka, makikita mo yung sarili mo na you are doing productively,

makikita mo yung sarili mo na nag-smile ka,

or nakikita mo yung sarili mo na parang inspired ka lagi.

So, how can you associate those feelings sa sadness?

You can be in love and not be happy.

What if, kung arin, nagkasakit yung mahal mo,

eh di alagaan mo siya pero hindi ka naman happy kasi, di ba?

Kasi may nangyaring masama.

Pero kapag dumating yung hardship sa mga couple,

feeling nila, ay, may times na ayoko na sa kanya.

Especially sa mga nag-live-in partner.

Kasi nakikita nila yung,

ay, ganito pala feeling na meron ka ng kasama sa loob ng bahay.

Hindi yung katulad dati pag hindi kayo live-in,

makikita mo yung good side lang niya.

It's very possible to love someone even though they're mistreating you.

Meron parang, what do you call this?

Like, it's a trauma bond.

Nabibate ka na parang nag-aaway kayo

and then you're waiting for this person na like, suyuin ka.

So, like, dun ka na-attach.

Pwede siyang mag-resolve ng mas malaking damage.

Hindi lang yung relationship mo mas isira but also yourself.

Parang it makes you more miserable na you're,

you have something but not really.

So, parang you'd rather be just single if that's the case.

Yes or no, is love easy?

Yes.

Love itself is easy.

Tayong mga tao lang gumagawa ng paraan para maging komplikado ito.

Love is supposed to be easy.

It's supposed to be that warm feeling.

It's like you're flying, you're floating.

Actually, siya pa nga yung nagpapadali ng buhay ng tao.

Siya pa nga yung nagpapagaan ng feelings ng tao.

Kasi pag mahal mo yung tao, madali lang mag-sacrifice.

Madali lang mag-compromise.

Hindi love yung mahirap.

Yung attitude mo, yung kung papaano mo siya i-treat

or kung papaano mo siya gawin, yun yung mahirap.

No.

No. Hell no.

Love is not easy.

Ayaw mo maging biblical.

Kasi siya pag sinasabi niya sa love is very easy sometimes.

Love is love.

Yes, I know that, pero in the setting practical sa mundong ito,

hindi madali.

Parang if you want to be in love,

if you want to be in a relationship,

you have to know na it's risky

kasi no matter how much feelings and trust

and time you invest dito sa person na ito,

wala kang 100% assurance na he'll stay.

Yung mga choices misan, iba-iba kasi kayo nang gusto.

Meron kang decision na gusto mo ganito, ayaw rin niya yung ganito.

So paano kayo mag-mimic halfway

kung iba yung mindset niyo at the same time.

It's difficult for some people,

especially if you're going through something like mentally.

There are days that's very difficult for me

na I try to find in my partner.

And there are days na I realize na

I shouldn't depend on my partner so much

because it's something that I have to work on myself.

Hindi naman lahat ng tao is willing to give in.

Yung iba naman yung mataasang pride.

Yung iba naman sobrang mapagkumbaba.

You have to be ready na, oh, this will hurt.

Hindi lang ito parang, ah, mag-date kami. Cute pictures and all.

So ang hirap i-weigh kung paano kayo magtutugma sometimes.

Nag-figures din ang problem sometimes sa mga ganung decision.

True love is when you can make anything work.

Yes. Yes. At least sa akin, yes.

I believe that to be true.

True love?

May true love ba?

Well, I believe that anything is possible with love.

Kahit na maraming challenges, maraming problems,

malalagpasan niyo yung challenges together.

Kasi nga, true love.

See, for example, hindi lang siya applicable sa relationship kahit sa trabaho.

Kung hindi mo mahal o hindi ka passionate sa ginagawa mo,

I don't think magiging productive ka eh.

In the long run, baka nga, ma-burnout ka pa.

Worst case, baka supoan mo.

So, if you and your partner both know sa isa't isa

na gusto niya talaga mag-end up together,

you'll do anything para lang masave yung relationship.

Especially kapag nagkita na nila na mag-peak na yung away

or like yung situation.

Parang, oh, let's take a break na this is what we have to do.

I see now we're heading into the wrong direction.

So, we have to take a breather.

No offense, pero hindi ako naniniwala sa mga couples na

mahal nila isa't isa pero naghiwalay sila

kasi it's not healthy anymore or like pagod na sila.

If you feel like loving someone is difficult or it's not enough,

then it probably wasn't love at all.

If pagod ka, then magpahinga ka.

Pero huwag mong iiwan yung tao kasi ending a relationship,

it's a huge movement.

Another experience ko kasi feeling ko,

feeling ko lang ah, feeling ko true love yun.

Ginawa ka naman yung lahat ng best ko,

pero hindi kayo naging kami.

Kasi may mga scenario sa buhay mo na ginawa mo na yung lahat,

pero hindi kayo nag-end up sa huli.

Ang good side naman yung true love na yun,

mas minahal mo yung sarili mo.

So, I feel like with compromise and like kung love mo talaga yung person,

you're willing to do whatever it takes to make it work

as long as it's not hurting the both of you.

Ano nga ba yung ideal relationship?

What is my ideal relationship?

Alam ko di yung boyfriend ko baka sabihin niya ko.

Ano ba ba yung ideal relationship?

Ako, I really don't have an ideal relationship.

Ang sakin lang.

I have standards.

Natakot kasi ako dun sa concept na

meron akong tinitingalang relationship or type ng relationship.

Then mamaya iba to sakin, hindi ganun.

Natatakot akong ma-disappoint.

I think ideal relationship ko is

yung may fine line between being like magtropa,

tapos may mga moments na feel niyo talaga na magdowa kayo.

Someone na magiging comfortable ako kasama,

na I can be myself, and accepted niya kung sino ako.

From my experience, hindi laging ako na lang.

Ako yung nag-adjust, ako yung pupunta dito.

Ako yung magsusurprise.

Ako yung kailangan mag-iisip.

Kasi two-way talaga reciprocal eh.

Ang hirap ng laging ikaw eh.

So ako, go with the flow lang.

As long as I'm being me,

I think ma-attract naman ang universe ko na

sige, ibibigay ko sa'yo ganito kasi ganyan ka.

My ideal relationship I think is someone na parang

is happy to see me all the time.

We understand that there are instances where we really get bored

but we're not tired of each other.

For me, yung ideal relationship is

when you both willing to fight.

Or parang no matter how hard the situation gets,

you still choose this person.

And I would love a relationship na parang

you grow together, you plant things together,

ini-include ganyan sa lahat ng bagay

even if it's just one person's dream.

Yung may matutunan ako from that person

na maggagayad sa akin

and will help me become the best version of myself.

Parang kung baga you feel like he is your home,

sino bang may gustong umalis dun

if you think he's his home?

I like that.

Parang the certainty na it's a ride or die

na ito na talaga yun.

So I feel like that's what it is for me.
