Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin admitted that they continue to feel pressure to prove that they are more than just a love team.

In “Oh My Gan!” podcast, Diaz said there is pressure to show that they can bring more than "kilig" to audiences.

“Paano natin ipapakita na we are more than just a love team? Hindi tayo basta love team. That we are a team,” she said, adding that their movie “My Future You” felt like an audition for audiences to see what they could do.

“Yung ‘My Future You’ was really an audition namin for everyone again,” she said.

“May mga misyon pa kami, gustong tapusin,” he said.

Diaz added that it is a matter of time, preparation, and honesty. “I really think it’s a matter of time and preparation… Hindi ako sure kung positive yung feedback, even if supportive sila sa amin ever since,” she said.

Alongside the interview, the pair also promoted their upcoming film "She Who Must Not Be Named," a lighter romcom compared to their previous outings.

“Romcom siya,” Fedelin said, explaining that his character, James, has dyslexia — something Diaz hopes will bring more awareness to the condition through the story.




“Hindi masyado napag-uusapan 'yung sakit na 'yun, ‘di ba? And we don’t really know much about their struggles sa pang-araw-araw nilang buhay,” she said.

Fedelin added that the film will also show the pressure experienced by people with dyslexia, especially in school.

“'Yung pressure din to do things, tapos alam mong hirap ka dun… lalo na pag may gusto kang puntahan, may pangarap ka,” he said.

The two invited fans to watch the film, promising a feel-good story for the summer.

“Para sa inyo ‘to, pang-pampagaan ng summer,” Seth said.
