“What makes you stay in a relationship?”

Bandy: “Siyempre, sa first few months tsaka sa first year siguro kilig pa ‘yun eh. Siguro ‘yun ‘yung initial pero pag tumatagal kayo, parang tropa na lang kami na—hindi naman kami masyadong cheesy pero lagi kaming nag-uusap, lagi kaming nagpupuyat, [at] lagi kaming nag-uusap ng kabalbalan na parang I talk to her about stuff na hindi ko nagagawa sa ibang tao.

Pam: “Tropa kasi siya tapos parang bago ko siya sagutin, I made sure na we’re in it for the long run, hindi lang jo-jowain ko siya ngayon tapos the next few years, hindi ko na nakikita ‘yung sarili ko as part siya ng life ko. In line naman mga plans namin so, ayun.”

“So, company makes you stay?”

P: “Yeah. It falls into place naman.”

“What’s the best advice you’ve heard about love or entering in a relationship?”

P: “At the end of everything, make sure na compatible kayo. Make sure you can share even [if] kunyari, may secret ka na you eat your toe nails, make sure na kaya mong i-share ‘yun sa kanya tapos hindi siya tatakbo.

B: “Dapat tama ‘yung isip niyo to enter in a relationship. Hindi dahil kinilig ka lang o maganda lang siya o dahil bored ka at mag-isa ka lang, ganun.

Paano mo nasabing tama ‘yung desisyon mo na si Pam?”

B: “Masasabi kong tama ‘yung desisyon kong si Pam kasi not a day goes by na hindi ako interasado sa kung anong ginawa niya, hindi ako nagsasawa sa kanya.

– Pam, 20, and Bandy, 21
