How to Be Yours

The film follows a typical romantic storyline between its two main characters. There is no indication of non-traditional gender identities or stories that question the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.

The story revolves around a partnership between a male sales agent and a female cook. While the female lead demonstrates professional initiative, the film sticks to common romantic-comedy clichés.

As a Philippine production, the film showcases a local, non-Western cast. However, the narrative does not emphasize the overlapping aspects of identity or race as a central theme.

The plot delves into themes of social mobility and professional goals. It emphasizes individualistic ambitions within current social structures without challenging Western institutions.

There is no depiction of characters dealing with physical, neurodivergent, or mental health conditions. No examination of the impact on disabled individuals is provided.
