"That should not be a question. Kasalukuyan actually ongoing yung BL series ko kasama si Kristof Garcia. It’s ongoing now but we shot it way back in 2020 pero ngayon siya ni-release. Just like that kind of love story, itong Love Bites namin nila kuya Nico (Antonio) at Genesis (Redido), we are trying to normalize it na yes BL is a genre but dito sa tulong ng buong production, we are trying to normalize that it is just love and love is not based on gender and it’s not based on what genitalia you have.

“We’re trying to normalize na kung ano ang na-e-experience ng mga heterosexual people, na-e-experience ng lahat. Because we are all human beings. So it’s mundane, it’s being human, it’s worldly experience as I say so hindi ako natatakot na baka ma-typecast. Ito yung magagandang storya that we are trying to push in society na nagiging parte tayo in the effort to educate and to normalize that love is just love. It’s not about gender, it’s about loving that person as a human being,” he explained.

As part of a love triangle with his co-stars Nico Antonio and Genesis Redido, Sky also shared his view on polyamorous relationships. “These kinds of relationships exist in our society so we also have to acknowledge that part,” he said.

“Enlightenment is part of love. But enlightenment is not the totality of love. Kasi love isn’t linear. Cyclical siya, it will go up, it will go down. You don’t know. It’s unpredictable kung ano yung mga mangyayari sa inyo. Pero one thing that I am trying to apply into my life is meron kasi akong nabasa, sabi dito, ‘Love isn’t chaos, it’s peace. If it makes you feel like a mess, it isn’t love. Love doesn’t make you lose your mind, it shows you the way home. If it makes you feel overwhelmed, out of control, or helpless, it isn’t love.” But I think there will be moments na medyo didilim and it’s about those people involved int he relationship will make it work to find that light again just to be in peace and in serenity together,” he explained.

“Pag nagmahal tayo, nagmahal tayo. Hindi siya pinilit, hindi dahil hindi siya tapos magmahal. I think sa experience ko, somehow, somewhere, I have felt na parang I have been in that predicament as well, na parang pag nag-pla-plateau yung relationship and you get to meet new people in your lives. Parang magkakaroon ng confusion. And yun yung parang nangyari dito sa kuwento naming tatlo dito sa Love Bites. So I think yun yung reality of this Love Bite na meron kami dito. I think that’s the conflict of it,” he admitted.

“I want to thank the team behind this kasi we won’t be able to do this kung wala yung courage to give this story to people. Kasi it takes courage, ang daming may negative reactions still towards it but maraming salamat kasi nag-po-produce kayo ng mga ganitong kuwento para sa mga marginalized sectors,” he added.
