I t is common knowledge that the season of love may make most people, especially those who arenʼt lucky in love, be bitter towards those who possess a successful love life But, did you know that there's another way to share your love with others?

In the modern world today, love can be interpreted in many different ways For St Bridget College Batangasʼ TLE Department, a way to spread love is through oneʼs sharing of skills and cultivating them in order to be of service to others, as shown in this school yearʼs Season 2 of TLElympics With the theme: “LOVElihood Skills On Fire This Love Month”, love is truly in the air as they concluded the second season of TLElympics with the Parent and Child Demonstration activity, led by Sheena Bernadette S Cadunggan, a student from 10-Obedience, and her mother Mrs Evelinda S Cadunggan, on the 28th day of February, 2023

In the activity, the mother-daughter duo performed a demonstration on the process of making traditional Filipino delicacies, such as puto and sugar coated nuts, which are local treats that never fail to satisfy the sweet tooth of most Filipinos, no matter the occasion This was participated in by the women coming from various barangays, specifically from Brgy Wawa, Brgy Calicanto, Brgy Uno, and Brgy Dos Along with them, as well, were the teachers from the TLE department, as facilitators to commemorate the culminating activity

Now, the season of love isn't all just about romance Itʼs all about the actions that can be of positive impact to those around you and even to oneself The TLE Department then proves to us that, even if it's not the season of Valentine, true love can be felt through oneʼs sharing of skills with the purpose of caring for and benefiting others not only emotionally, but also mentally and physically
