MANILA, Philippines?We Pinoys commemorate Feb. 14 in the most ?exaj? way. Where else in the world would you find countless V-day shows? Has Cupid developed a fondness for Pinoys because of the maximum impact V-day has on us?

V-day gives us a good excuse to be sweet but corny. Here are the sweetest things celebs have experienced in the name of l?amour. Happy Hearts and No More Hurts Day!
