The loveteam also known as DonBelle answered a question from a fan on how to handle a red flag person, which is the premise of their series.

"I think you have to be upfront," declared Belle. "Sometimes, we are pabebe. Pero 'pag ganun, if alam mo ng medyo nasisira niya na kung ano ang pagkatao mo, you could tell if that person is a red flag if you're uncomfortable. You're uncomfortable in what he does.

"If you're not comfortable sa pagkatao niya or how he treats you, be honest with him or her. 'Wag na tayong magpa-bebe. Just say what you like and say what you don't like. I think it would be good for them to reflect on what they do," she continued.

Donny agreed and added that it is important to talk about the dos and don'ts and the non-negotiables between the two parties.

"So that you guys are both on the same page. And also, sometimes, especially in love, it's easy to get blinded. There should be people around you who could tell (you), 'Donny, parang iba 'to or something na hindi niyo masyadong nakikita at first pero yun pala, red flag na.

"So always be open-minded to thinking, 'Yes, genuine honesty is a big part in this' and just be true to what you feel as well."
