CPUR: Wear your feelings

Wear your heart on your sleeve—On February 14, 2018, Central Philippine University Republic encouraged Centralians to wear their feelings. With ten colors to choose from, there is an option for every emotion and a hugot for every Centralian. Red is worn by those happily in-love while black signifies heartache. The trend is an annual tradition for Centralians.

Stalls filled with chocolate and flowers welcome the students as they walk through the half-moon on Valentine’s Day. A dominant white fills the university, expressing the opinion on love of the majority of the students.

As the celebration of Valentine’s Day comes to another close, may Centralians be reminded of the greatest love of all—the love of Christ.

“We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

“Two people are better than one, because they can reap more benefit from their labor. For if they fall, one will help his companion up, but pity the person who falls down and has no one to help him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm, but how can one person keep warm by himself? Although an assailant may overpower one person, two can withstand him. Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).

May our relationships be centered on Christ, the Author and Creator of love.
