Galentine's Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on February 13th, dedicated to celebrating female friendships. Originating from an episode of the American sitcom Parks and Recreation, the holiday encourages women to spend quality time with their friends, engage in self-care, and appreciate the important role women play in each other's lives.
February marks the love month. The season when sales of roses and chocolates and bookings of hotels and restaurants rocket the market. It has always been predominantly about romantic love being in the air as couples prepare for Valentine’s Day. But beyond romantic love, friendship is another kind worth celebrating (especially for singles!) at this time.
I was reminded of this celebration recently when I saw ABS-CBN actresses and real-life best friends Angelica Panganiban, Bela Padilla, and Kim Chiu, also known collectively as AngBeKi, sharing snaps from their Galentine’s dinner. It was a heartwarming sight—three women who have been through life’s ups and downs together, making time to celebrate their friendship and “sisterhood by choice.” Seeing this, plus the flood of Galentine reels and photos popping up on my social media feeds, made me curious about how this unofficial holiday started. I learned from a 2020 Inside Edition report that the term “Galentine’s Day” was coined by Amy Poehler’s character, Leslie Knope, in a 2010 episode of American sitcom Parks and Recreation. In the episode titled Galentine’s Day, Leslie gathered her closest gal friends for brunch, gifted them personalized presents, and showered them with words of affirmation and appreciation. From there, what started out as a fictional celebration quickly resonated with women all over the world. Whatever way you choose to celebrate or not, the most important thing is to spend quality time with your girl friends. Galentine’s Day is a celebration of female friendships, self-care, and empowerment. It’s a reminder that love isn’t just about romance—it’s also about the people who support and inspire us every day. With life’s fast pace, Galentine’s Day offers the perfect reason to pause, reconnect, and appreciate the women who bring joy into our lives. Galentine’s Day is a fun excuse to meet up and celebrate love, but it’s also a reminder to nurture the friendships we have as adults. So, every Feb. 13—the unofficial date for Galentine’s Day—take the chance to raise a glass to the amazing women in your life, including yourself
