MANILA, Philippines — Amid rising inflation, the Department of Health (DOH) advised Filipinos to celebrate Valentine’s Day safely and inexpensively.
According to the DOH, lovers as well as families can still observe Valentine’s Day without spending too much money.
The DOH said couples can go on a date in a park.
“Aside from being free, going to green spaces helps your mental health,” the DOH posted in Filipino on social media.
The agency stressed that a healthy mind is key to a healthy relationship.
Couples, DOH said, can also spend quality time together watching movies at home, and learn new skills together like cooking healthy food or new sports so they could both stay fit and healthy.
To stay protected against COVID-19, the DOH also encouraged couples to go to vaccination sites and get their booster shots together.
