“Bro kami na!”
There are two general views on Valentines Day, a day for celebrating love and the act of sharing the love or it can be viewed as a commercialized holiday created by capitalists to sell flowers and chocolates. Either way it gives the PHILVOCS scientists bragging rights over scientists around the world by successfully predicting the exact location of the occurrence of earthquakes.
Just steer clear of Pasay and Sta. Mesa on valentines and your safe.
*wink wink
If you ask Beneboy, Valentines Day is the first definition. After the bar exams he met in his hometown his special girl and a lawyer at that. I knew he liked the girl but I had no idea he was that serious. There is a running joke among law students and lawyers that if a single male law student passes the bar, his stock will rise. If a single female law student passes the bar her stocks will fall. I know it’s a very sexist joke but in some ways it has some basis. There is this general notion that men are intimidated by smart and overachieving females because it runs smack against their male pride especially among “macho” Filipinos.
They are still a couple up to this date, and I heard somewhere that there are talks of marriage in the air. I guess after the bar exams Beneboy.
