“Ang galing niya magsupport. I don’t think I’ll be able to go through all of these if it weren’t for him. The support, security, he’s able to give. He’s very wise. The words that he gives talagang fulfilling, you feel secure. You feel safe. No matter what negativity, he could really show you how to see it in a positive way,” she explained.

When asked about the biggest lesson she learned from the trials that their relationship encountered, Pressman stressed the importance of love amid adversities.

“May dadaanan kayo na sobrang hirap. You really have to look back and love yourself. So you see the world with love. So no matter how much hate and negativity or struggles that you face if you have love, everything else would [be] filled with love,” she told the press.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the actress-model said she’s not a fan of material things. “No. Walang mga pasabog. Love is enough. Love and happiness. Nothing material. Nothing bongga.” 

Pressman also noted that while it is Reid who should plan their Valentine’s Day activity, she also does some efforts for her boyfriend, “Syempre, hindi ako ‘yung magpa-plan. Siya ‘yung magsu-surprise.”

“[Pero] lagi akong may effort…. Mahilig ako mga craft, mga letter, surprises,” she added. 

Pressman also said they don’t have any immediate plans to get married yet, considering her age, and that they are still trying to build their foundation as a couple.
