MANILA, Philippines – Money is the top wish of Filipinos for Valentine’s Day in 2024, based on a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted in December, and published on Sunday, February 11.
Out of the 1,200 respondents who took part in the survey, 16% answered money, followed only by love (11%), flowers (10%), and apparel (9%).
More men wished for apparel, while more women wished for money.
Filipinos have been grappling with the rising prices of goods in recent years.
Only 1% of respondents wanted to have a child for Valentine’s day, while 0.3% of those surveyed wanted a wedding.
Around 58% of respondents also said they are very happy with their love life, 23% admitted they could be happier, while 19% have no love life.
SWS also noted that the percentage of people who are not in a romantic setup has gradually increased through the years, from 10% in 2002 to 19% in 2023. – Rappler.com

It is an excellent survey. Thanks to SWS. Money may not be the wish during Valentine’s but throughout the year. If ever it can be related to politics, it creates a conducive political environment for corruption.
