V-day gives us a good excuse to be sweet but corny. Here are the sweetest things celebs have experienced in the name of l’amour. Happy Hearts and No More Hurts Day!

Ogie Alcasid: “The sweetest thing I did for love is to publicly proclaim my love for my Regine and the sweetest thing she did was to proclaim she loves me, too.”

Angel Aquino: “My BF Lui invited me to his place and made me watch TV till I fell asleep. When I woke up, the house was dark with tea lights everywhere. A dinner table for two was set up and food Lui himself cooked was served.”

Baron Geisler: “I gave my girl bananas and told her I’m going bananas over her. I gave her peanut butter and told her I’m nuts about her. She surprised me and brought me my fave sinigang na lobster.”

Rufa Mae Quinto: “A former lover made a home-cooked dinner complete with petals of red roses and candles on the table.”

Diether Ocampo: “She took her days off even if she was badly needed at work so she could stay with me.”

Rachel Alejandro: “After a V-day concert in Shang hotel, I was surprised to enter my room and see that my BF had put rose petals all over, champagne in a bucket and a stuff toy on the bed.”

Mark Herras: “I filled my GF’s house with flowers. She took good care of me when I was sick. Daig ko pa ang may personal nurse!”

Remembering Evelio Javier

Some of our heroes may have been more brilliant or achieved more greatly, but I find it hard to think of any who lived more purely and more single mindedly than Evelio... his commitment to democracy, to social justice and to a life among the poor in our land. Februay 11, 2009 in Panay Island, Philippines is Evelio B. Javier Day. It is the 22nd Anniversary of the assassination of Evelio Javier. It was a stunning and decisive event towards our eventual liberation from Martial Law later that February 1986. Many in our Ateneo community remember meeting Evelio’s body at the airport two days later, and the Mass and the long march from Baclaran to the Ateneo de Manila on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1986. We had a Mass at sunset in the field beside the Blue Eagle Gym and ended the Mass with the electrifying experience of hearing Fr. Jose A. Cruz, S.J. read for the first time in public the letter of the CBCP on the elections. Evelio B. Javier was born to Everardo Autajay Javier of Hamtic and ...

Because you do not know me, Francezca, you have every reason to be afraid— afraid because, while you are sleeping, I can be the moon, peeping in from out your window like some lonely lunar voyeur, or some rusty blade or kitchen knife when you feel like ending your life with a quick slash or laceration; because, when you wake up, I can be the toothbrush dangling silently in your bathroom, or the forlorn cotton bud preparing to rid your ears of dust and excessive earwax. This is no time to relax, Francezca— I can be anywhere anytime, anyone and anything you cannot even begin to imagine: the whipped cream on your waffle, the mothballs in your closet, the card tag of your tea bag, the jaundiced shade of moonlight, the moon-cake you hate, the steady staccato of rain, the flush’s fecal fouette, the hair inside your nose, your lip, your mole, black hair and brown irises, white teeth and red gums, your scalp, your skin, even your toenails. What is scary, Francezca, is the fact that you don’t e...
