Candidates take Valentine break
February 15, 2025
|The Philippine Star
The Senate slate of President Marcos took a break yesterday from campaigning to spend Valentine's Day with families or partners.
Returning senator Panfilo Lacson said their Iloilo kickoff rally was initially scheduled on Feb. 14—until they protested the plan for romantic reasons—as well as the usual obligations.
"Our schedule here was previously on the 14th, and then the Davao del Norte rally will be on the 16th. This was changed to 13th in Iloilo, and 15th in Davao del Norte," Lacson said at a press briefing with the rest of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas slate on Thursday.
"We would only be faced with problems at home if we don't make it there on the 14th. Happy Valentine's Day to all," Lacson added, to chuckles from the audience.
Meanwhile, for Valentine's Day, Vice President Sara Duterte urged Filipinos to always value the love of their families and friends as well as the community where they belong.
