BrandPlay, the country’s fastest-growing Integrated Marketing Communications agency specializes in brand and corporate reputation campaigns, announces the launch of its latest initiative, the #BeyondWordsPH campaign. This campaign addresses a significant cultural nuance in the Philippines: the reluctance of many Filipinos to verbally express “I love you.”

In Filipino culture, saying “I love you” may not always be the norm compared to other cultures. Instead, affection is often demonstrated through meaningful actions—cooking a loved one’s favorite meal, taking care of household responsibilities, or offering a comforting hug. While these gestures are deeply significant and reflect true affection, the lack of frequent verbal affirmations can sometimes lead to misunderstandings about the depth of one’s feelings.

An internal survey by BrandPlay revealed that many Filipinos hesitate to say “I love you” because it feels irreversible, they are “very shy,” they fear “unrequited” feelings, or it might have “different meanings” for the recipient. These nuances can influence how love and appreciation are perceived within relationships.

The #BeyondWordsPH campaign seeks to address this by bringing attention to and celebrating the rich tradition of expressing love through actions, ensuring that these gestures are recognized and valued.

Fritz Cruz, BrandPlay’s Director, expressed his thoughts on the campaign: “With #BeyondWordsPH, we aim to shine a light on the beautiful, often unspoken ways Filipinos show love. In a culture where verbal expressions might be less common, this campaign celebrates the profound impact of our everyday actions. We hope to foster a deeper appreciation for these gestures and strengthen our connections with loved ones.”
