Some lucky ladies in the Phillipines are getting more than just flowers from their Valentines they're getting the gift of song. Singers are making their way office to office in Manila delivering serenading Valentines. With nearly 10 percent of the country's 94 million people working abroad, many are turning to singers to deliver their messages if love.

The unique service was started in 2010 by a former recording studio producer. The bulk of his clients are homesick and love struck Filipinos overseas who want to send their love to spouses, girlfriends and boyfriends from thousands of miles away.

The fee for a basic package, including two to three songs by a professional singer, a personal message read with background guitar music, a teddy bear, and a CD containing a video and photos of the event, is 170 dollars.
