00:00The hearts of the DSWD central office workers felt the heat of the day.
00:07This is the story of Noel Talacay.
00:11Flowers, heart-shaped red balloons, and even chocolates.
00:18These were brought by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD,
00:22on Valentine's Day to its employees.
00:25That's why even if these employees have work on Valentine's Day,
00:30they will still be able to celebrate it.
00:32They will still be able to say,
00:34Friendship Go! this Valentine's Day.
00:36Because Valentine's Day is not just romantic love.
00:40It can also be for friendship and platonic love.
00:43This DSWD employee was smiling and seemed to be excited
00:48as she told us who she bought the flowers for.
00:53Because it was her first time giving flowers to her partner.
01:03But wait, there's more.
01:04Nikki did not forget her boss.
01:07This is for our boss, Emo Marlene Moral.
01:14Because she always remembers us.
01:17There is also a photo booth where the DSWD employees
01:21have the opportunity to take pictures as a remembrance on Valentine's Day.
01:26There are food, coffee, and accessories from the DSWD employees.
01:33Given that the mandate of DSWD is social protection,
01:37we want to ensure that our welfare activities and programs
01:42are being prioritized for the employees.
01:44We want to ensure that on top of our monthly salary,
01:49they can also extract extra income through these activities.
01:53According to the DSWD, they celebrate Valentine's Day every year
01:58so that it can bring joy to the Filipinos and their employees.
