00:00 Nothing sends the message of love on Valentine's Day louder and clearer than a stem or two, perhaps a bouquet, or why not an arrangement with all the works if money is not an issue.
00:11 But since love's holiday falls midweek this year, many see it fit and best to buy their Valentine's offerings this weekend when prices aren't outrageously high and time to spare to get things done.
00:23 The rundown on the prices of single stems, bouquets and arrangements at the Flower Mecca in this report.
00:30 Five days before Valentine's Day, Heidi's family already went shopping at the Dangwa Flower Market in Manila.
00:37 She said they already bought flowers for their parents and friends and plans to give these ahead of Heart's Day since they'll be busy with work next week.
00:55 Bouquets of different designs and colors are a hit with customers here.
00:59 Prices range from 250 to 300 pesos for small ones, while those with grand designs and personalized products range from 500 to 5,000 pesos, respectively.
01:11 But wait! If you want to have one with unique designs, there are also bouquets available here from those with coffee lovers design to those perfect for students with notebook and pen designs.
01:23 Meanwhile, love is also in the air at the MRT3 with all these hugot lines and red balloons around.
01:30 These are all part of their Love Train project.
01:33 According to MRT3 OIC ASEC Georgette Aquino, this initiative aims to spread love and good vibes this love month.
01:41 And they hope to bring smiles and squirms to the commuters in their own very simple way.
01:46 But wait! For all the single men and women out there, here's a treat.
01:51 In General Luna Quezon, the local government unit will be granting a special stress leave on February 15 and 16 for those employees without partners for their mental and emotional health.
02:03 The LGU will be covering their salaries for these days as a gift for their strong independent hearts.
02:08 If they choose to still work on such days, they can also have double pay.
