00:00Diana, when it comes to heart and love, there's no one-size-fits-all, but one love for all!

00:08And to show the true meaning of love wins, we have LGBTQIA plus couple with us.

00:14But before that, let's watch this first.

00:17Sometimes, in the world of social media, you don't know where a follow and like will lead you.

00:24But through swipes and videos, two hearts met.

00:29This is the story of Cassie Uyoko and Armina Solis.

00:34They both posted TikTok videos to enjoy and share their lives.

00:39Until one day, they saw each other on their FYP or For You page.

00:44And from a simple follow and message, a relationship that they didn't expect started.

00:51After a few months, they had a deeper connection.

00:54And now, they've been together for almost two years.

00:57Not just in the online world, but in real life as well.

01:00They now live under the same roof.

01:03And they continue to strengthen their love story on social media.

01:07But not just about them, but in building a community of love and support for the members of LGBTQIA+.

01:16So now, let's meet Cassie Uyoko and Armina Solis here in Rise and Shine, Philippines.

01:26And before we continue, we'll be joined live by Cassie and Pepper.

01:32Good morning and happy Valentine's Day to you both!

01:35Happy Valentine's Day!

01:36You're exciting us.

01:38Love is really in the air.

01:39Yes, I know.

01:40So how did your story start?

01:43We actually met on TikTok as well.

01:46I was scrolling on my timeline.

01:48I saw her video and I found her really attractive.

01:50Okay!

01:51So I followed her without any expectations of her following me back.

01:56Okay, so what was your reaction?

01:58You were like, you were fooled.

01:59Oh yeah, because back then, she had pink hair.

02:03Okay!

02:04Yeah, it's not a common color of hair.

02:07So I find it cute.

02:08So I might as well use it to slide in her DMs.

02:11So I said, you have really nice hair.

02:15And then, the story just started.

02:17Of course, I was really excited.

02:19That was my crush.

02:20You know, they remind me of Faye and Yoko from Blackpink.

02:24Aiyo!

02:25Did you get that comment?

02:26Yeah, we get that a lot.

02:28And then, it's Faye and Yoko, right?

02:29So I said, she's Toyo and I'm Faye.

02:33Faye and Toyo from the Philippines.

02:35So I'm wondering, when you two met, eye to eye, what happened?

02:39Oh yeah, it was in a bar actually, we met there.

02:43And then, I was mesmerized in a way that she's so beautiful in person.

02:48Okay.

02:49I'm getting excited again.

02:51Okay.

02:52Imagine, how old are you guys?

02:54We've been together for two years.

02:55So imagine, the spark is still there.

02:57It's true.

02:58Whenever their relationship starts again.

03:01Well, I want to know, how are you guys handling the judgment of the people

03:06when it comes to relationships like this?

03:09I think everyone is entitled to their own perspectives and opinions, of course.

03:13But I think what matters the most to us is, will we let it affect us or not?

03:18So at the end of the day, what we really prioritize is our peace.

03:22Yeah, I agree with that.

03:24Because they say, ignore it.

03:26But at the end of the day, sometimes it's heavy.

03:29Sometimes, people will show you good comments, 100.

03:32But one bad comment will affect you.

03:35But still, I told her, at the end of the day, it's just you and me.

03:40Whether they say these negative things, what matters to me the most

03:44before this social media is you, right?

03:47Okay.

03:48Now, in your social media, your content,

03:51how do you see this role, like what you post on TikTok,

03:55for the advocacy of LGBTQIA+, especially the couples?

04:01Well, for me, I think with our content,

04:04we get to represent the LGBTQIA plus community.

04:08So in a way, if younger me would have seen these videos,

04:12I think I would have accepted myself more.

04:14So right now, what we're doing is, we're posting more,

04:17we're trying to normalize it.

04:19And then hopefully, we inspire people and influence people

04:23that there's nothing wrong with loving someone,

04:25as long as you're not stepping on someone else, right?

04:28Yeah, I agree.

04:29Because we try to create it as natural as we can.

04:35Oh, these are the options that you can do to express your love

04:38to the women-loving women community.

04:41Because it's very conventional, the boy and the girl.

04:44But how about women, and a girl and a girl, right?

04:47It's just you're like two best friends.

04:49You're just cute, and you just need to express, right?

04:53Okay, in terms of social media,

04:55so how do we make sure that through your content

04:59and also the words you guys are saying,

05:02we're able to spread our support to our community?

05:05Especially in our community, LGBTQIA plus community.

05:08Well, with that, because I always say,

05:11as long as you have good intentions, love has no limitations,

05:14as long as you have good intentions.

05:16I always say that I'm not worried about anything that I'm posting,

05:20because it's all about for the good sake of Cassie.

05:23So I always express that I love you, like that.

05:28And she's not shy.

05:32It's just very expressive.

05:34It's the same goes that I want to inspire people

05:37that you can just express prior to the judgment and all.

05:42Okay, I want to know, when it comes to love,

05:45what are the lessons that you've learned so far

05:48with you being with Pepper and also Cassie?

05:51Okay, so what I learned is communication is key,

05:55but communication doesn't mean that you're always

05:57just going to speak.

05:58To be a good communicator, you also have to listen.

06:01So for me, I have to communicate my needs,

06:04but also I acknowledge that she has her own needs.

06:07So we have to meet in the middle.

06:10And besides that, we also want to emphasize

06:13that we're companions, we're partners,

06:15rather than each other's possessions.

06:19And love without expectations, really.

06:22Because sometimes we have this ideal partner

06:25that sometimes clouds our judgments

06:27if they're really the one we love or our idea with her.

06:31So with her, I would always love her

06:33whether she can give me something or not.

06:36So it's like, that's the real definition

06:39of to love unconditionally.

06:41Okay, what's the most important message

06:43that you can give to everyone,

06:45to your followers and to our RSP's

06:47this Valentine's Day?

06:51Maybe, really, love is love.

06:54Whether you're in love regardless of its gender.

06:59As I said earlier, love is limitless

07:02as long as you have good intentions.

07:05Love really has no gender.

07:07And for us, at the end of the day,

07:10love wins.

07:12Love cannot be stopped.

07:14And as long as you're not doing bad to anyone,

07:17you're just showing or being affectionate to each other,

07:20then I think that's what matters the most.

07:24And because of that, Mars,

07:26we'll give them flowers.

07:28Thank you so much!

07:30Happy Valentine's Day!

07:32Happy Valentine's Day!

07:34But of course, we'll not let you go

07:36without hearing your message for each other.

07:38Yes!

07:42Okay, so thank you very much

07:44for giving me time

07:47and for all your efforts

07:50and patience and understanding

07:52that there is no easy way

07:54on navigating this relationship.

07:56But I want you to know that

07:58I would like to spend the rest of my Valentine's with you.

08:01Oh my God!

08:02I'm so nervous!

08:03I don't know what to say!

08:06You'll cut that out, right?

08:08I want to thank you for loving me unconditionally,

08:11especially with my toy.

08:13I don't think anyone has that much of patience for me

08:17other than you.

08:18So, I really can't imagine doing life without you.

08:21And I'm happy to spend this Valentine's

08:23and the rest of our Valentine's together.

08:26Here's the chocolate.

08:27Happy Valentine's Day!

08:29Thank you so much!

08:30Happy Valentine's!

08:31And you know,

08:32even though this is not conventional

08:34for a lot of Filipinos,

08:35but we can feel the love

08:37between the two of them.

08:38And of course, we wish you more Valentine's together.

08:42Thank you so much!

08:43And I hope that your celebration

08:45will be successful today.

08:47Well, we wish you the best life possible

08:50for the both of you, of course.

08:52And not only that,

08:53there are a lot of people

08:54who have a lot to say to us.

08:56I'm also a member of the LGBTQ plus community.

08:59As long as we don't get affected,

09:00we won't get affected.

09:01It's our love,

09:02the most important thing in everything.

09:04Love wins!

09:05Love wins!

09:06Yes!

09:07Thank you very much

09:08for giving us your time.

09:10And of course,

09:11for sharing your love story,

09:13Kazzy Uyko and Pepper Solis.

09:16Thank you!

09:17And happy Valentine's Day!

09:18Happy Valentine's!
