Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and these celebrities genuinely offer heartfelt responses and recommendations for gifts that celebrate love in the most meaningful way.
The Ultimate Performer, Vina Morales, starts the conversation with a quick reflection into gestures that best convey real love, making them the perfect Valentine’s present. “It’s not a thing but how you treat a person,” she emphasizes.
The majority of the guest stars chose “time,” along with the warm, loving presence that comes with it, as the ultimate Valentine’s gift—particularly Kobie Brown, JM de Guzman, Kat Galang, Nyoy Volante, Jane Oineza, Robi Domingo, and Jason Dy.
Nyoy elaborates on his answer, highlighting that physical gifts are meaningless if neither the giver nor the receiver is truly present in the moment. Robi’s comment echoes Nyoy’s sentiment, also valuing shared experiences with loved ones.
For Jane, both presence and love should be given or expressed not just on Valentine’s Day, but every day.
Jason then touches on how people inevitably get caught up in their busy schedules, describing the act of making time for one another as a genuine expression of love, showing someone intentionally doing something special despite everything else going on.
Following through, “PBB” alums Kai Montinola, Maymay Entrata, Sofia Pablo, and Eliza Borromeo add a variety of gift ideas, with Kai suggesting presents that would match a person’s love language or anything memorable in a relationship.
Similar to Jane’s thoughts, Maymay decides on the choice of loving someone every single day as her top pick, underscoring that each day is an occasion to share love.
Turning to more favorites, for Sofia, handwritten letters stand out as one of the undeniably greatest presents, especially when they contain a deeply personal message from someone you hold dear. In the same vein, Eliza mentions the kind of love that the people you care about can wholeheartedly offer.
Speaking of love languages, Esang de Torres explains that a Valentine’s gift should align with the love languages of a person and their significant other while also recognizing the importance of reassurance.
Back to the topic of time, Jed Madela, Bong Gonzales, and Sofronio Vasquez expand on the idea, focusing on not just spending time with the people around you, but also taking healing time for yourself.
Wrapping up the interview, Miggy Jimenez shares a serious sentiment—likely relatable to the public and even to some personalities who may have wished for it on their birthdays or last Christmas: “Makulong lahat ng corrupt,” he states.
These artists hope to remind people that Valentine's Day is more than the allure of gifts or lavish celebrations. It is about presence, genuine intentions, and remembering what truly brings joy to the people they love.
