valentines day











Valentine's Day is on 14 February, and it can seem as if the world is full of couples who are celebrating their love. Some couples might celebrate with dinner at a nice restaurant, flowers, chocolates or other presents. Some single people might put a post on social media about why they hate 'V-Day' or maybe they just avoid it completely. But it's impossible not to know that Valentine's is happening. And that's not surprising when over half of all Brits and Americans celebrate Valentine's in some way.

Valentine’s Day has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome. The holiday is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire. While there are several legends and stories associated with Saint Valentine, one common narrative is that he secretly performed marriages for Roman soldiers, defying Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriage for young men. Saint Valentine’s actions were driven by his belief in love and marriage, leading to his eventual martyrdom.

Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love and affection, whether it’s romantic love, friendship, or familial bonds. It’s an opportunity to express appreciation for the special people in your life and create cherished memories. However you choose to celebrate, make it a day filled with love, kindness, and joy.

So, mark February 14th on your calendar, and make this Valentine’s Day a memorable and love-filled occasion for you and your loved ones.

 One big reason for this resilience is that Filipino leaders clearly stand out in terms of finding meaning and purpose in their work. The same DDI 2023 report showed that nearly three out of four (74%) Filipino mid-level leaders find their jobs to be full of meaning and purpose, compared to less than half (47%) for the rest of the world. And what provides meaning and purpose for Filipinos? In discussions with seasoned leaders and professionals around the country, including members of OD Practitioners Network (ODPN), thanks to Vivien Arnobit — there are three things which resonate most: family, relationships and faith. FAMILY MATTERS For the Filipino, the reason for going to work and persevering is about making a difference in shaping and caring for the well-being and future of their family and loved ones.
