7 Direct and Indirect Ways To Say ‘I Love You’ in Filipino
Happy Valentine’s!
Two days before Valentine’s Day and I know you are as thrilled as I am. We, Filipinos are very romantic. Hopeless romantic, as you call it. We love the idea of love, of being deeply in-love and of being loved. And when we love, unconditional. No boundaries. Limitless. As an OPM (Original Filipino Music) lyrics goes, “ Walang hanggan ay hahamakin. 'Pagkat walang katapusan kitang iibigin” (I will do whatever it takes, because my love for you will never end.”
