During the show, Vice addressed the unavoidable link between love and pain. He said: "When you give someone the opportunity to love you, you’re opening the possibility of being hurt by that person because mahal mo siya… Magkambal sila. ’Pag minahal ka niya, masasaktan at masasaktan ka niya. Kasi hindi ka masasaktan ng tao kundi mo mahal."
He explained that pain is not merely a risk but an intrinsic part of love itself, and that accepting this truth enhances the depth of emotional experience.
Vice further stated, “You just have to accept and embrace that fact because that’s part of being in love. That hurt will add beauty to that kind of love that you will feel. So don’t over protect yourself from getting hurt because whatever you do, you will still get hurt and that is a fact.”
He ended his reflection with a powerful reminder not to let fear deprive people of the full richness of love: "Yung fear will take away that chance to experience the beauty of that one thing."
