This shows, how a friendship, is actually one of the truest forms of love. It is not necessary to be physically, to romantically attracted to someone to love them. This is a great story, with an excellent message.

[@DevonSayWhat]

A clear example of pure love is not a romantic way. I have a straight best friend who I truly love and care for and it's not in a romantic way at all. We are affectionate towards each other but of course, there is a line. He probably one of the best things that happened in my life! :)

[@bamm-3adominicerissumera804]

I feel the story.. Sometimes I feel so unlucky because of those people whom I love but left me.. But at the end of the day, friends will be more important.

[@strahnbrad3979]

Pro-tip: Never fall in love with a straight male friend. Always cherish your friendship with him. (you do not even have to "out" yourself to him if you feel that it is no necessary)

[@junrelremotigue]

Tma po

[@Bucherviews]

This is so sweet, and such an important message! Relationships may not work out, but your friends will always love you

[@abrasivemusik]

That was very moving, and very true. I have straight friends who were always there for me, like this guy. Thanks for making this.

I am gay and I have a strIaght best guy friend and we been friends since we were 7 years old and now were both 28 so when I got older I started having feelings for him until I realized that we hAve been best friends for too long that its better to be friends and plus he is a straight guy so I didnt want to make things weird on him

[@justvigie1518]

Agree that FRIENDSHIP HAS NO GENDER same as to LOVE

[@fritzgdouyin8677]

I'm a straight but I do respect LGBTQ Community. Meron talagang mga Low Mentality na Filipino dito, uneducated behaviours for not being open for this issue. Just accept them and life's will going to be easy.

Just a sweet, warm film in which everyone's orientation is so damn unimportant. Switch the genders of any of these characters, and you can leave the dialogue virtually intact.

[@marcoeun2030]

I really felt him in this situation..I have been in his situation before where I have a really sweet & caring straight friend..he never care what will talking about in our relationship..until now he getting married have a beautiful wife and children..he still looking for me asking bout my daily day and my life..😊🙏 the best relationship is having a real good friend forever 😊✌️

Like woohhh!!😍😍this is the first time that I had a goosebumps just because of a short film..wish I had a bestfriend like that😢

[@chokzmag-usara3085]

I have one, he’s always there during my tough times, if i dont have money, he let me borrow his extra kahit gaano pa kakunti extra niya basta mapaborrow niya lang ako, one call away bestfriend if i want someone to talk to, always present, never absent. I was heartbroken once, he even hugs me like matagal during our inuman kse iyak lang ako ng iyak, iyak ng iyak hanggang sa nakamove on kse i feel so comfortable and safe beside him(those days!!! ULOL) hays i truly appreciate and respect this man. Tapos we always click din kasi, our braincells are the same, we support each other. He will always be my number 1 straight boy bestfriend and im lucky just like in this short film.

Watching on these quarantine days. Na remember ko rin yung Xbestfriend ko. We were so close since kinder pa kasi magkaklasi kami. Akala nga namin magpinsan kami pero di pala. Friends din yung parents namin dati kasi magkapitbahay pala kami noong di pa kami nabubuhay. A friendship turned to strangers after nag confess ako sa girl xbestfriend ko din that time and cousin pa sila. I told my girl xbestfriend na, I was very glad that I have a guy bestfriend. Iba yung feeling ko sa kanya kasi everytime na gumagala kami, gusto nya na ako yung angkas sa motor nya and we were closed talaga na pag sya yung magpapa-alam sa parents ko, diretso yes yung parents ko kasi they trusted him na. But everything changed after nag 18th bday kami (2017). We were born on the same month kasi. Feeling ko sinabi ni girl xbestfriend yung confession ko. Bigla lang nag cold lahat. Di na sya nag chachat kahit nonsense, di na sya masyadong pumapansin, di na sya nag rereact sa mga status ko. Ang dami kong na learn after that experience kaya December 1, 2019 lumabas results sa LET Sept 2019, ininvite sya ng mga friends namin na maki celebrate sa bahay. And nag join naman sya, we talked but iba na yung turing ko sa kanya. I acted like we were strangers again na 1st time pa lang mag talk. So after that, okay na kami. And dumistansya na ako. Wala na akong bestfriend HAHAHA. Close friend na lang kasi wala namang "The Best" na friend.

Meron ako nito. Yeah totoo. Hindi nang iiwan ang taong una pa lang ay tinanggap ka na kung ano ka. A friend whom I will always be at your side kahit magka iba kayo ng prefere nce. Kahit nung muntik na ako ma mafall sa kanya siya pa rin ang unang tao na nagpa intindi sa akin na kahit di man kami magiging romantic tatanggapin niya pa rin ako bilang kaibigan. Kaya malaki ang respeto ko sa kanya hanggang ngayon. Salamat bff Kenny kasi mas totoo yung love mo sa akin as a friend kesa sa love na natanggap ko sa ex ko. Love you tol!

[@sgroyalty6838]

I did confess my feelings to my straight bff before. I remember it was after we got drunk together. We stayed outside a closed sari sari store, sitting down while sobering up and there I had the chance to tell him. I told him about my feelings but he didn't even utter a word. That time he was courting a girl but I couldn't keep it anymore. The girl he likes is someone I know who's gonna be good for him so after telling him that I like him I also told him to continue pursuing her. I was the only one talking back then but as I was looking at him I know he just didn't know what to say. I embraced him so tight after that and then we parted ways .

[@sgroyalty6838]

@@acaputra812 u know what after that? He acted like I didn't confess to him, as if nothing happened. He's still the same to me, and unfortunately I'm still here for him. I guess I'm just crazy or numb already, he already got that girl.

[@acaputra812]

SG Royalty I mean, what you can do now is respect for his choice or just move on from him, I know it’s hard but that’s probably the best for you heart, stop hurting yourself for falling to someone that will never love you in the way you love him. I hope the best for yah!

Maybe this video will serve as impetus to try to mend bridges.
