Valeen reveals that honesty is their currency, proving true John Lennon's famous line, “Being honest might not get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right ones.”
She says, “Just be honest with each other. Be as honest as you can and try to understand where the other person is coming from. Kapag kunwari sobrang naiinis na talaga kayo sa isa sa amin, sana may understanding din. Kapag kunwari masungit ako or may sinasabi ako, may gusto akong mangyari, they know that I'm coming from somewhere good. I want something good to happen to them. So sinasabi ko talaga sa kanila 'yung nararamdaman ko.”
Lovely adds that essential to that equation is listening.
She reveals, “Nag-uusap talaga kaming tatlo. Kunwari nainis, sinasabi talagang, 'Nainis ako sa'yo kanina.' Talagang inuupuan namin. Actually, nabuo 'tong grupo naming tatlo na may problema kami. Bawat isa may problema. Hindi 'yung parang nabuo kami na masaya lang, hindi.
"May mga problema kami tapos tipong kailangan namin 'yung suggestion at comment ng bawat isa. 'Yun talagang nagtatanong kami sa bawat isa na ganito talaga 'yung nangyari, ano ba dapat gawin. Alam natin na 'yung desisyon kasi minsan ikaw pa rin 'yung gagawa pero 'yung may help ng kaibigan mo, meron kang napakinggan na suggestion, mas gumagaan 'yung problema.”
And like real-life sisters whose hearts beat the same pulse, Chariz was able to summarize what the three of them value the most, and that is good communication.
She states, “Sa lahat naman ng anong klaseng relationship, ang pinaka-importante 'yung communication. Whether it be by talking or just understanding because understanding from the other side is also good communication, like you know when to talk and when not to. That's very important, communication.”
