A lot may have changed for our “Senior High” gang, but one thing remained through the years – Poch’s (Miggy Jimenez) and Tim’s (Zaijian Jaranilla) love for each other. Despite setbacks before embracing their love and sexuality, our fave primetime LGBTQIA+ couple is now navigating their relationship onto new heights and challenges in the series, “High Street.”

Bago naging couple sina Tim at Poch, nagkaroon muna sila ng kanya-kanyang troubles na pinagdaanan. Si Poch, naging isa sa mga biktima ni Gov. Acosta sa “Senior High,” while Tim was in a relationship with Roxy. Initially, itinago nila Tim at Poch ang namumuo nilang feelings para sa isa’t isa, until aminin ni Tim kay Roxy kung sino ang totoong siya, at ang kanyang lumalalim na feelings kay Poch.

WATCH | Ang Pagpaparaya ni Roxy

After four years, our previous senior high graduates are now professionals! Tim became a police officer, while Poch works as an actor/commercial model (which is very close to who Miggy is IRL!)

Although tanggap si Tim ng kanyang mga mahal sa buhay, hindi pa siya “out” sa kanyang workmates sa takot na baka ma-judge siya, lalo’t ramdam niya ang homophobia sa kapulisan. Kaya naman, labis-labis ang pagtatampo ni Poch kay Tim noong pinakilala siya as best friend nito, nang minsang bumisita siya sa presinto.

WATCH | Poch, nagtatampo kay Tim

Hindi man napakilala ni Tim si Poch bilang kanyang “Boo” and not “Bro,” nagsisikap pa rin siyang baguhin ang nakagawiang mindset ng kapulisan towards LGBTQIA+ within the police force.

Matindi rin ang pagsubok na kinakaharap ng lovebirds sa pamilya ni Tim, partikular na sa nanay niya na si Edith. Akala ng lahat, tanggap na sila ni Edith noong naging official na sila Tim and Poch, pero ang tatay ni Tim na si Elmo lang pala ang totoong nakaunawa sa preference ng anak.

Obvious kasi ang mga pasaring ni Edith na gusto nitong mag-end up si Tim with a girl. Halimbawa na lamang, ang pagiging hopeful nito na magkakabalikan pa ang anak niya at ang ex-girlfriend nitong si Roxy. Pero, Team Tito Elmo tayo, dahil pinagtatanggol niya lagi at sinusuportahan ang mga decisions sa love ng anak niyang si Tim!

Minsan nga, hindi na discreet ang pagpaparamdam ni Edith kay Poch sa hindi niya pagtanggap dito. Lalo na kapag nakikita niyang magkasama ang dalawa, sa nasa loob ng kanilang tahanan. Pero kahit pa ganoon, pinaglalaban pa rin ni Tim ang kanyang pagmamahal kay Poch at ipinaparamdam naman ni Elmo dito na welcome siya sa kanila.

Dagdag pa sa challenges ng TimPoch, ang dumaraming responsibilidad nila as working professionals. Madalas kasi ay kulang ang oras ni Tim para sa kanyang “Boo,” gaya na lamang noong na-late nang uwi si Tim, para sa kanilang supposedly dinner date.

WATCH | Poch, ayaw i-kiss si Tim!

Dahil nga walang oras na pinipili ang trabaho ni Tim, in return, siya naman ang binigyan ng assurance ni Poch sa kanilang pinagdaraanang sitwasyon.

For sure, marami pang challenges na pagdaraanan ang love story nila Tim and Poch, pero ang kanilang tiwala at pagmamahal sa isa’t isa ang magiging pundasyon ng kanilang matagal na pagsasama, kahit sino at ano pa ang humarang sa kanila! Dahil in the end, LOVE WINS, mapa-Pride Month man o hindi.
