On February 13, 2024, Malateans celebrated Valentine’s Day in the quadrangle with different attractions. The Student Coordinating Board facilitated this day's event.

The activities started at the dismissal of each assembly. The students wore color-coded shirts for the day which corresponded to their status.  

The first attraction that opened was the “Harana sa Kantina” [Serenade in the Canteen]. The band playing for the event sang in the canteen during lunch. They also took song requests from the students watching.

The other attractions were set up at 2:50 PM. These included game booths and stalls with prizes like candy. On the other side of the quadrangle were the various non-playable booths. The photo booth included, where students took pictures in front of a Valentine-themed backdrop.

There was also a "gift bags claiming area", near the photobooth stall. This is where students who pre-ordered the Valentine’s Day gift bags could claim their orders. There was also the “Sweets and Treats” booth, which sold various treats. The band from “Harana sa Kantina” transferred to the front of the chapel, where students sang the song they requested for 10 pesos. 

The event ended with the school day, and students left the campus after the event.
