It's February 14 again. And you know what that means: Happy Valentine’s Day!

With that, let’s look at how they celebrate Valentine’s Day, taking cue from Mareng Taylor Swift and how she sang about “Karma being the guy on the Chiefs, coming home to me.”

Aby Maraño and Kamille Cal aka TyaCal

Alexa, play “Enchanted”.

We can see how Tyang Aby and Kcal are enchanted to be with each other. No doubt, they will not fall in love with someone else.

Dindin Santiago-Manabat and Coach Chito Manabat

Alexa, play “Sweet Nothing”.

Mama Dindin is already living the life of a successful volleyball player and a caring mama. Her husband surprised her with a bouquet and a new member of their family — a pet cat. Her kids also joined the sweetness overload with a heartwarming handwritten letter.

Pauline Gaston

Alexa, play “Paris”.

Pizza ka ba? Kasi crust kita.

While Ponggay is in her soft launch era, we can assure that romance is not dead in her life. It is just much better for now if she just keeps it for herself. That or she just really likes pizza.

Dave Ildefonso and Selina de Dios

Alexa, play “Call it what you want”.

This might be the first time since Dave and Selena shared an Instagram Story together. It seems like Dave chose this special day to hard-launch Selena, posting his picture on a video call with the caption “hvd, partner!”

Whatever their real score is, these two seem to be happy together.

Shaya Adorador and Jasmine Nabor aka DorNab

Alexa, play “You Are In Love”.

There is no need to choose between commemorating Ash Wednesday or celebrating Valentine’s Day for DorNab. Shaya and Jasmine can do both. From the way they smile and do poses together, we can definitely say that they are both in love.

Tyler Tio and Andi Lim

Alexa, play “Come Back…Be Here”.

Distance does not matter for Tyler and Andi. While they can’t have a physical date right now because of their long-distance relationship, they still show their love through an early Valentine’s pizza date.

Princess Robles

Alexa, play “It’s Nice To Have A Friend”.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for lovers. It can also be a celebration of affection for people you love to feel loved. Just like Princess, who spent Valentine’s Day with her Chery Tiggo family and appreciated her teammate Mylene, who played Cupid.

And for those who are hopelessly single this Valentine’s Day, allow us to play this Miley Cyrus song.
