KChat Bibitaw o Lalaban: Diego Loyzaga

Aside from his movies, the latest of which is the sexy romantic drama “Isang Gabi,” and various other showbiz gigs, Diego Loyzaga's career in recent years has been largely highlighted by headlines about his love life.

Known for wearing his heart on his sleeve, Diego speaks his mind when it comes to matters of the heart. He even offered fascinating insights during the "Bibitaw o Lalaban" Challenge on an episode of Kapamilya Chat. In this segment, he is asked to go through a series of relationship scenarios and decide which is worth fighting for and which is enough reason to break up.

Let’s start with a common issue among couples: lack of time. For Diego, it would be better to let go due to a lack of time, believing it signals underlying issues in the relationship. While he acknowledges that being busy with work or family can be valid reasons, he also suggests evaluating if it's the right time to pursue a relationship with someone who clearly has other priorities.

The next situation posed a tough challenge for the actor, as it involved deciding whether to pursue a relationship disapproved of by many. Ultimately, he believes that a relationship is primarily between the couple. However, he emphasized the importance of listening to advice from trustworthy people, not just those with biased opinions. For Diego, it’s crucial to have a transparent core group ready to enlighten you on any aspect of life.

Of cheating, he views it as a deal-breaker and a clear sign to break up—it's a no-brainer situation.

When asked about staying in a relationship where the other person is no longer changing for the better, Diego was honest in admitting his own past mistakes and the many chances he has been given. He believes that if someone genuinely wants to change, they deserve a second chance, though this should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

When asked what to do if you're still enjoying the relationship but your partner is not, Diego admitted to having flashbacks. He believes this scenario is similar to the issue of lack of time, as it indicates an underlying problem. He thought it would be essential to reassess both yourself and the situation to understand why the enjoyment has faded.

But the best thing to do, he believes, is to weigh the situation and talk to your partner, as clear and open communication can make a significant difference in any relationship. "Especially when you’re both looking at the relationship like, ‘This is my forever, the person I want to settle down with.’" He further explained, “Posible kasi na mababaw lang ‘yung reason, so pwede n’yo pa pag-usapan ‘yun.”

Personally, Diego is the type who, if he feels something is wrong and thinks it can be discussed, will bring it up immediately to his partner rather than letting emotions build up, “Kasi lalabas sa actions mo na there’s something wrong, so talk it out agad.” However, he tends to ignore small problems, believing they aren't worth the attention.

Ultimately, Diego emphasized transparency and honesty as essentials for building lasting relationships.
