President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. honored his late father, former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., on his birthday on Wednesday.
In a Facebook post, Marcos said his father’s wisdom still guides and reminds him of the principles in leading the country to progress.
“Not a day goes by where I don’t think about my father. His wisdom remains a guiding force, a steady voice of reason reminding me of the principles that should lead our nation forward,” Marcos said.
“Happy birthday, Dad! We continue to celebrate you and honor your lasting legacy,” he added.
Wednesday marks the 107th birth anniversary of the elder Marcos who, as the country’s 10th president, served from 1965 until he was removed from office in 1986 via the People Power Revolution.
Marcos Sr. died on September 28, 1989 in Hawaii, where the Marcos family was exiled following his ouster from Malacañang. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA Integrated News
