Three days before Valentine’s Day, the environmentalist and culture advocate Senator Loren Legarda invited close friends to her post-birthday dinner held in the beautiful outdoor gardens of the Baluarte de San Diego, which she and the Intramuros Administration helped restore inside the Spanish colonial era’s old Walled City of Intramuros, Manila. This baluarte was completed sometime between 1653 and 1663 and is shaped like an ace of spades.
By the way, advance congratulations to Senator Loren Legarda for being bestowed the prestigious “Chevalier dans l’Ordre National de la Légion d’honneur” by the government of France this coming Feb. 18.
After three attempts that night to ask her for love advice for several famous local and international personalities, the now annulled and blooming Senator Loren Legarda finally agreed to this exclusive and carefree interview for The Philippine STAR. Here are excerpts:
PHILIPPINE STAR: What is your love advice for our bachelor President Noynoy C. Aquino?
SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA: Don’t look for her, she will come.
And to Kris Aquino, who is very talented, smart and successful, but now is no longer married?
The children are the great loves of her life.
What about love advice for our new Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach?

Love advice for the single and annulled former Justice Secretary Leila de Lima?
