MANILA -- Celebrity couple Aiza Seguerra and Liza Diño have learned to ignore the "homophobic" comments they have been getting on social media.

In a press conference held earlier this week, the couple revealed that they are planning to have children through in vitro fertilization (IVF). According to them, they are currently saving enough funds for the procedure, which will be done in the US.

This plan, however, attracted homophobic attacks on social media. Seguerra even shared a screenshot of some of the comments on her Instagram account.

"Ibang klase ang usapan ninyo. Palakpakan!" she wrote in the caption.

Meanwhile, Seguerra's partner took to Facebook to express her reaction.

"Dati umiiyak ako, lalo pag below the belt na ang mga sinasabi --'yung tipong ipapa-rape nila kami o kaya titirahin nila ko para makatikim daw ako ng lalaki -- but napansin ko today... hindi na 'ko ganon kaapektado. Masakit pa rin 'yung iba pero mas natatawa ako sa mga sinasabi nila," Diño wrote.

She added that she has "evolved and matured as a human being," making her more open to the opinions of other people.

"Natuto akong maging assertive kesa maging defensive pagdating sa mga ganitong usapin. But at the same time, mas lalo kong nakita ang kahalagahan ng ginawa namin para kilalanin ang karapatan ng mga LGBT dito sa Pilipinas," she wrote. "2016 na. Walang mawawala sa'yo kung rerespetuhin mo ang karapatan ng bawat isa."

She ended the note with the hashtags ‪#‎lovewins‬ ‪#‎respect‬ ‪#‎outandproud‬.

The couple got married on December 8, 2014 in California. A month later, they held a "symbolic" exchange of vows in Batangas.
