Love, love, love is bursting on social media in this post-Valentine season.
Matteo Guidicelli wrote on socmed: Don’t forget to smile, it’s Valentine’s Day. He did so as he and wife Sarah Geronimo reopened a part of their Italian restaurant in Alabang that had been damaged by a car that crashed right into the property.

Aiko Melendez says Onemig Bondoc is her Valentine soulmate. The two lovebirds reconnected after many years of separation, since the 1990s. The couple officially announced on social media that they are now officially together.
Jomari Yllana and Abby Viduya have been flooding the same media with their lovey-dovey posing and postings whether or not it’s Valentine season.
Catriona Gray admits she was hurt deeply when her relationship with Sam Milby ended. She told Karen Davila on the broadcast journalist’s channel, “There was a point in our relationship where I think he just realized that he wasn’t ready to take it to the stage of commitment.” Earlier, Sam had proposed marriage.
“And then, a few months later, he realized that hindi pala siya ready. So, that was very hurtful for me, and I was really blindsided at the time.”
Vice Ganda posted, “I waited for someone and I was blessed with not just one. So blessed to celebrate Valentine with my loving husband (Ion Perez) and son (Ryan Bang).” Picture shows the trio having dinner in a cozy restaurant.
Nakakaaliw.
Charo Santos is turning a new, exciting leaf via her series of short reels portraying her in various capacities, completely shedding her corporate, presidential, woman-in-business image.
The reels, viewed on Tiktok and other social media platforms, are actually short films launching Charo in roles ranging from comedic to serious, singing and dancing, but always with a happy, funny twist.
The veteran actress lets her hair down through these videos, and it’s such a relief to see Charo in a more casual, light-hearted mode, so far detached from the untouchable image she has worn all these years. Asked why she’s doing TikTok at this point in her life, she said that, being in entertainment, she wanted to discover social media. The entertainment landscape, she added, continues to evolve and she wants to be in sync with what’s going on.
These reels casting Charo in a different light call attention to this other side to the actress, who quite coincidentally, has a new film opening on February 25. Until She Remembers, by Brillante Mendoza, is another experimental, out-of-the-box project for Charo as she plays a woman engaged in a same-sex relationship with the character played by Boots Anson Roa. Note how the two actresses are cut almost from the same mould, the same sweet, nice and wholesome padron. Interesting how the two women could do justice to the roles of two women in love with each other. In the old days, two women engaged in a same-sex relationship were tagged as beauties (byuts).
Charo and Boots have a young co-actor, Barbie Forteza, one of the better actresses of her generation, who has had the good fortune of having acted with other great Philippine actors, notably Nora Aunor in a Cinemalaya film called Tuos (2016) by director Derick Cabrido.
