00:00 Aside from the kiss, the celebration also added to the liveliness of the day, right?

00:05 Of Valentine's Day to some of our beloved ones.

00:08 Here's the news of Dano Tincunco.

00:10 From the promos in some establishments to the stalls,

00:18 love is in the air.

00:20 Here in Dangua, Manila, you will be surprised by the number of flower arrangements.

00:26 It's more expensive than last week.

00:30 Some vendors say that whenever this occasion comes,

00:33 they get a lot from the supplier.

00:35 This is what we get from the supplier.

00:38 Because flowers, especially for women,

00:42 are happy when we give them even a small piece of flower.

00:46 You think it's very important.

00:49 The couple Blesa and Anne also came from Batangas.

00:53 It's a different feeling when you're given a flower, especially when it's fresh.

00:57 It makes you feel special.

01:01 It's worth it, even if it's just 1,000 pesos.

01:04 According to Nestor Castro of the UP Department of Anthropology,

01:07 it's not like Christmas, it's not an official holiday,

01:11 which is a reminder of the martyrdom of St. Valentine

01:14 and the Americans who brought him to the Philippines.

01:17 But back then, this wasn't considered a business.

01:20 During the American colonial period,

01:23 Valentine's Day love letters were in vogue.

01:29 In the 40s and 50s, Valentine's cards were in vogue.

01:34 You would send them to your lover, to your spouse, to your lover.

01:40 It was just like that until it gradually evolved.

01:47 From greeting cards, love showed a different form of showing love,

01:52 like eating out and giving chocolates, teddy bears, and flowers.

01:57 In today's context, peer pressure is a big contributory factor,

02:03 especially in social media.

02:06 You see someone posting something,

02:10 and then you see that he has a date, and you feel bad for him.

02:18 So, there's a pressure that even if it's just for one day,

02:23 you have a date.

02:25 The modernization of Valentine's Day was driven by business,

02:29 even by the old beliefs of some Filipinos, like the attachment to gayuma.

02:34 Before, you would buy two or three.

02:37 Now, they say it's necessary.

02:39 If you really love someone, you would do everything for them, right?

02:45 Even if it's not Valentine's Day.

02:48 Although Valentine's Day can help many businessmen.

02:52 When I was in college, I would get a salary here,

02:55 and pay for the expenses.

02:58 An expert will remind you.

03:00 The substance of Valentine's Day,

03:03 showing love,

03:05 love is not always about material things.

03:09 You can do it by being friendly,

03:15 helping others,

03:17 in a way that doesn't require spending.

03:21 Dano Tincunco reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:25 I'll see you later on.
