Whether you're planning to create the perfect scene so you can pop the question or simply devising a devious plan to pop something else, you must first set the proper mood.

And getting the ambiance right is key!

Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day was on the 14th. But there's a reason they call February the "love month." 

So with a few more days in the month to go, consider these budget-friendly romantic destinations for you and your special someone so you can up your chances of getting a “yes," all without breaking the bank.

Lakeshore Taguig

This place is like a cross between a food park and a beach resort.

But instead of a beach, the compound is situated along the banks of Laguna de Bay. There are various food establishments and seating is al fresco.

While spending a breezy afternoon there is enjoyable, the best time to go is in the evening.

East Ridge, Binangonan, Rizal

There are various cafes and restaurants in the area, but most visitors go there for the breathtaking view of the city.

Since you and your special someone are on a motorcycle, you both won’t mind the heavily congested route through Cainta and Taytay.

Though, traffic could be better than expected around this month as most vehicles will probably converge in more traditional dating places in the Metro.

Marikina Riverbanks

You could go on a stroll in the park along the river bank then take your date to the mall for some refreshments.

If your budget is really that tight, wait for the food carts to arrive around sundown and splurge on fish balls and kwek-kwek.

Pililia Windfarm

You might have to spend a little more on gas because this place is a bit farther, but the ride going there is already fun as it is.

A daytime visit is recommended, so you can go and take selfies with the windmills. There is also a view deck overlooking Laguna de Bay.

The ride back will be equally enjoyable because of the chilly atmosphere in the area.
