VALENTINE’S Day is a special occasion for romantic, gift-giving Filipinos. And for eBay.ph Style ambassador Jolina Magdangal, Valentine’s Day is a day where she indulges in her gift-giving nature by expressing her love and affection for her family and friends through meaningful gifts. Sweet, expressive, and multi-talented, this bubbly TV host, movie star, singer, and entrepreneur takes the task of choosing her Valentine’s Day gifts very seriously.

Jolina’s busy schedule just gets busier and busier. Her latest project as one of the judges of the first ever "Pinoy Idol" search will be airing soon on GMA. In addition, Jolina has a foreign-locale movie in the works, regular "Unang Hirit" hosting job in the mornings, intermittent stints in the evening news program "24 Oras" and on-call duties as the Office of the President’s Goodwill Ambassador to the Filipino Youth, leaving her little time to shop. That is why Jolina finds shopping on eBay.ph heaven sent!

"Online shopping on eBay.ph is not only convenient but also really fun!" says Jolina. "It used to take me at least two days to look for gifts in shopping malls. With eBay.ph, I can get my shopping done in a jiffy— I can shop at anytime of the day plus there are plenty of great bargains and unique items that you can’t find in local retail malls. Check out some of my gift ideas in eBay.ph’s Valentine’s Day catalogue," chirps Jolina.

Ever since Jolina made her first purchase on eBay last year— a twine doll love charm, she has been totally hooked. But what she enjoys most about eBay is meeting its enthusiastic Filipino community.

"It is amazing how many friends you make on eBay who share similar interests. The eBay community is passionate about what they do and that is infectious," said Jolina.

So what is Jolina getting for her family and friends this Valentine’s Day? Among others, she is eyeing a vintage watch for her boyfriend Bebong, bracelets for her mom and dad, an Elmo tickle doll for her ate and a new wardrobe for her dog, Cosmo.
