Valentines Day is a special day to all of us. To some people, Valentines Day is just an ordinary day. They didn’t even care to celebrate it. However, some people treat this as a special day which you have to celebrate with your love ones. No matter how you celebrate it, the most important thing is the “love” for another.
When I was a kid, especially when Valentines Day comes often times heard this line ” adlaw nga tig bu ak ug pakwan” (this is a Cebuano dialect and cliché`). Idiomatically means “giving up one’s virginity”. I was really curios then what does it mean. My cousin Nanan explained it to me. Upon learning the meaning of that word, I came to realized that Valentines Day is a special day for lovers for it is the time for them to feel the sanctity of womanhood which is not in line with the norms and culture of the Filipinos. Virginity is something should be kept and locked. This is the only gift that you can be proud of to offer to your future husband. The end will be rewarding.
In contrary, this day is not only for the lovers but also for the whole family as well. Spending time, loving and understanding with them is essential to make a healthy relationship. Let them feel that celebration of Valentines is not only happens once a year, but instead celebrate it everyday.
