For those who have not made plans for Valentine's Day yet, Jak Roberto has one simple yet proven effective advice—surprise your partner!
Referring to his girlfriend Barbie Forteza, the Kapuso hunk said, "May ipine-prepare ako sa bahay nila, kinuntsaba ko na yung mga tao sa bahay niya.
"Yun yung naisip ko na lang na way kasi kapag sa labas, it’s either traffic or fully booked na."
Instead of having fancy dinners outside, Jak opted to prepare hearty meals for Barbie, who is admittedly a foodie.
Without revealing his Valentine’s Day menu, he gleefully added, "Ang gusto niya lang naman kainin, e, yung mga masasarap na luto ko. Joke lang…
"Kaya sumasarap yung pagluluto ko kasi na-a-appreciate niya yung pagluluto ko.
"Ipagluluto ko siya plus magpe-prepare ako ng something for her."
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) caught up with Jak at the media conference for the prime-time series Kara Mia on Tuesday, February 12, at Circles Event in Quezon City.
MOST THOUGHTFUL GIFT
Another important thing: Pick the right gift.
So far, Jack's choices have been practical and useful. His most thoughtful gift? A dog.
As a dog lover, Jak explained, “Mahilig kasi ako sa dogs and alam ko na pag may dog ka kasi, sobrang stress reliever.
“And alam ko na pagod siya lagi sa trabaho, late na siya umuuwi.
“So gusto ko may something na pag wala ako, mare-relieve siya.
“Pagdating niya sa gabi, talagang ang unang sumasalubong sa kanya, e, yung dog na niregalo ko.
“Sobrang happy ako na every day, makikita niya yun, ako maalala niya.”
