PBBM to a ‘Bagong Pilipino’ : Celebrate self-love on Valentine’s Day


As Valentine’s Day draws near, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has a friendly reminder to the Filipino people, to celebrate self-love.

In a short video message on his official Instagram account, President Marcos said a “Bagong Pilipino” knows how to take care of oneself.

“Kaya’t ngayong Buwan ng mga Puso, ipagdiwang natin ang pagmamahal sa ating mga sarili,” President Marcos said while on a treadmill.

“Alagaan natin ang ating mga puso dahil walang ibang mag-aalaga diyan kung hindi ikaw lang, lalo na kung single ka,” he added.

Valentine’s Day on February 14 is also Ash Wednesday, or the start of the liturgical 40-day season of Lent that requires fasting and abstinence for the Catholic faithful. *PND*
