Not everyone is looking for love.

Whether you’re in a relationship, happily single, feeling flirty or looking for love, it’s hard to miss Valentine’s Day, with sweet cards, red roses and chocolates wherever you look.

But as with every other celebration through the year, cybercriminals are ready to take advantage. Follow our tips to avoid being duped while looking for love online.

Love at first site? Fake ads and spam

Whatever your relationship status this Valentine’s Day, no one is safe from seasonal scams. Let’s be honest, who isn't curious about a supposed Valentine’s email or e-card?

Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day regularly delivers an increased threat of malware using spam email attacks or fake advertisements and they are often very successful.

Be wary of too-good-to-be-true offers for e-cards, jewelry or flowers. These may land in your inbox, reach you through social media or appear on web pages.

By clicking on links in the ads you may inadvertently download malware or be taken to a fake site where the aim is to steal your credit card information or other personal data, rather than sell you the promised romantic gifts.

Food and love; love and food – definitely two of our favourite subjects in life, these basic human needs are also innately linked. Today we celebrate love and it’s no coincidence that one of the most popular gifts are chocolates, and the most popular activity is spending a romantic dinner with your loved one: There is a profound connection between food and intimacy.

The proverb is true… a man’s heart is through his stomach. Either it is eating well because you’re in love, losing your appetite on a heartbreak, desiring for what is forbidden, food and love are bound together as they produce the same reward hormones like dopamine and norepinephrine, which make us feel good.

It’s a fact: when you are a couple, your lifestyle revolves a bit more around food. Online food ordering marketplace foodpanda (www.foodpanda.ph) found the best, foodiest love quotes and created 7 cards to share with that special person in your life.

Isang Sulyap TVC of Camella Homes: Young Hearts Brought Together by a Master-Planned Community

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"A young boy looks up and suddenly his world changes. In an instant, he has been cast out of the boyhood life of toys and comics, playing pranks and computer games and entered into the world of love-at-first-sight-- or was it crush-at-first-sight?

But the first sight may be the last. Or maybe not..."

That was a portion of the description of Camella's newest Television Commercial (TVC) that you can view below about young love between a boy and a girl brought together conveniently by a pet dog that obviously understands his master so much. Yup! All the elements for a romantic teen teleserye love story infused with our love for adorable smart pets are all here.

No adults were explicitly shown in the story because it mainly focused on our three lovable characters which made the TVC a lot more interesting since it was easy to grow so fond of the lingering scenes when the boy seemed to be thinking about the girl he almost met. The last act of the dog was so cute that I wouldn't want to spoil it by giving it away already. It's better that you watch the video clip on your own so you'll appreciate it more.

Just in time before Valentine's Day, Camella creatively introduced its master-planned communities with an interesting and cute love story that speaks directly to the Filipino heart. The video would like to share that "One does not just own a home in Camella. One lives a life."

Radioactive Sago Project Steps Into Eraserheads’ Shoes In “Manhid” This February

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“MANHID: The Pinoy Superhero Musical” brings together not only talented actors, singers, and dancers, but critically acclaimed musicians too! Audiences will be treated to live music in each show, care of the Radioactive Sago Project. The sought-after group is taking over where the Eraserheads left off in 1991, as the production’s live band.

The Radioactive Sago Project’s perennially surprising stylistic excursions have earned them a cult following, from critics to art fans, even to discerning rock audiences. The band is fronted by four-time Palanca Award-winning writer Lourd De Veyra, along with alumni from the UP College of Music, two-time Gawad Urian awardee for Best Music, Francis De Veyra on bass, Jay Gapasin on drums, Junji Lerma on guitars, Pards Tupas on trombone, Arwin Nava on percussions, and Wowie Ansano on trumpet. Eventually, the band added Roxy Modesto (tenor and baritone saxophone) and B-boy Garcia (turntables) to beef-up the lineup.

“We’re greatly honored to be performing alongside the Radioactive Sago Project,” says Ballet Philippines Artistic Director Paul Alexander Morales. “We had a great experience working with them during Rock Supremo, so we are very eager to do so again.”

As the talent-studded cast of “MANHID” will be doing the singing for the show, frontman Lourd De Veyra’s involvement in the production is limited. His brother, Francis De Veyra serves as the production’s Musical Director, which he did for “Rock Supremo” as well. As a whole, the band brings a new vitality to the musical’s songs, which were originally performed in 1991 by the Eraserheads.
