ONCE again, the Manila city government will be launching its Valentine’s Day event called, “MayniLove,” which will offer a venue for celebrating the special “love day” without having to spend anything.

The “MayniLove” will be jointly launched by Mayor Isko Moreno, Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna, Congressman Yul Servo, and bureau of permits and licensing office chief Levi Facundo at the Mehan Garden near the Manila City Hall, as it opens on Monday, February 7, 2022.

Facundo said the project is still under the city government’s program, “Manila Support Local” and is aimed at giving the residents a dating site that is free of charge. It will be open daily to the public from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and up to February 15, 2022.

Moreno, he said, had envisioned the idea with the people of Manila in mind to have a safe, open-air, beautiful place where they can spend their time with their loved ones without spending so much money.

“There will be florists, chocolates and candies, stuff toys, balloon arrangements, perfumes, retail clothing for couples, gift ideas for your loved ones, a photo booth to capture the memories of your visit, including a Valentine concert. We will make sure that everyone will have a wonderful experience at MayniLove aside from creating opportunities for business and employment with the LOVE sculpture as our centerpiece,” the mayor added.
