Love in the time of recession

MANILA, Philippines - Nowadays it is becoming harder to sustain healthy romantic relationships, especially when significant events like Valentine’s Day and anniversaries come around. With prices going up on a weekly basis, one wonders, “Is it still possible to maintain a healthy relationship even during hard times?”

The answer need not be expensive. More than material things, such as dining out, keeping communication open is a surefire way of keep the love alive.

Such is the case for 19-year-old Irene de Villa, who subscribed to Sun Cellular to help her regularly communicate with her loved ones. “My boyfriend and I enjoy longer talk time, and we can text each other often because the cost is within my budget,” she enthuses. “I look forward to Valentine’s Day because I know that I can talk to him as long as I want even if he is in Masbate and not worry that I will run out of load,” she adds. Aside from nurturing a long-distance relationship, Sun Cellular also helps Irene keep her home sickness at bay. Irene’s other reason for subscribing to Sun Cellular is to keep in touch with her mother in the province. “The regular phone calls and exchange of text messages ease my occasional feeling of loneliness away from home,” she says.

Fritzie Morales is another satisfied Sun subscriber. “My boyfriend and I use Sun Cellular as our means of communication. It’s through Sun that we are able to communicate well and talk things over. We call up each other and talk without worrying about the call duration and cost. In fact, nagtatawagan pa kami kahit nag-text na.” And on Valentine’s Day, the young lady is excited even if it’s already their fourth Valentine celebration together: “He always surprises me on this day.” The regular Valentine’s Day ritual the two never miss is calling each other up on midnight of Feb. 13 to exchange sweet Valentine’s greetings. “It’s a good thing there is Sun Cellular to help make our relationship happier and more meaningful,” she adds.
