MANILA Mayor Maria Sheila “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan led the grand opening of “MayniLove” at the Mehan Garden on Monday evening in time for the celebration of Valentine’s Day on February 14.

Mayor Lacuna said the project, which was started during the time of former Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, was launched as part of celebrating the love month of February, not only for lovers, but to all who shared their love to their friends and families.

The mayor said it has become a habit, not only in Manila, but anywhere in the world, to feel love during the month of February, especially during Valentine’s Day on February 14.

“Ito ang araw o panahon na ipinadadama natin ang pag-ibig sa isa’t isa, ito man ang pag-ibig sa pagitan ng mag-asawa, mag-syota, pagmamahalan sa pagitan ng anak at ng mga magulang, pagmamahalan sa pagitan ng mga magkakaibigan at pagmamahal para sa sambayanan at sangkatauhan. Pero siyempre, dapat ay ating isipin muna ang pagmamahal sa ating sarili upang magawa nating mahalin ang ibang tao,” Mayor Honey said in her speech.

MayniLove was a project of the Bureau of Permits under the Manila Supports Local for Manileños to celebrate and experience the love month with joyful events at the Mehan Garden without much expenses.

“Ito rin po ay isang pagkakataon na ibinibigay natin para sa ating mga maliliit na negosyante, micro, small, medium enterprises na sila po ay makapagsimula ng negosyo at mai-promote ang kanilang mga produkto,” Mayor Honey Lacuna added.

The MayniLove project at the Mehan Garden is open to the public free of admission from 4 to 11 p.m. daily up to February 17.
