Specifically, according to Padilla, it will explore the apparent tendency of the younger generation to easily give up or lose interest, when it comes to a job or a relationship. 

By the actor's admission, he and Bernardo can easily relate to the topic of "The Hows of Us," as they, too, are in a long-term relationship that has gone through highs and lows.
